About
Railway is an all-in-one cloud platform for deploying, networking, scaling, monitoring, and evolving applications from a connected repository or local project. It supports GitHub repo deployment, Docker image deployment, local repo deployment with the Railway CLI, custom Dockerfiles, preview environments, one-click rollbacks, and built-in service variables and secrets management.
The hosted plan includes concrete resource limits and usage-based billing. The free offering is a 30-day trial with $5 in credits, then $1 per month, with up to 1 vCPU and 0.5 GB RAM per service, 0.5 GB volume storage, 5 projects during trial then 1, 5 services per project during trial then 3, 2 replicas during the trial then 1, and 7 days of log history during trial then 3 days. It is aimed at developers and teams that want managed deployment, private networking, observability, and scaling without operating separate tools for each layer.

Free Tier Value
Railway’s Free plan is explicitly a 30-day free trial with $5 credits, then $1 per month, and the page also says no credit card required. Per the free_credit rule, the conservative monthly value is credit_amount/3 = $5/3 = $1.67. Feature parity is 100 because this is a free-credit trial with the listed free-plan caps and no explicit Pro-only gating in the extracted free-tier bullets.

- Access to a 30-day free trial with $5 credits, then $1 per month.
- Up to 1 vCPU and 0.5 GB RAM per service.
