Alternative to Planetscale for multiple smaller apps
Hi
While creating our latest tool, I used the tRPC + Planetscale + Clerk stack and fell in love with the Planetscale branching feature.
Now the problem is their pricing. We're developing a few smaller, oftentimes internal apps/tools. We wondered if there's an alternative to Planetscale that doesn't charge as much per database. We'll never reach 100 billion row reads per month with our small apps. But having the database branching feature is still a way better workflow than classic migrations.
We don't mind paying for it, of course. It's just, 600 bucks/mo for 3 small internal tools that want their own databases, is a bit steep.
Is there an alternative to Planetscale that still has this branching feature?

https://neon.tech/ has branching. I think its cooler than what planetscale has, but I havent built anything in production on it.
