## Indicative from-price range

Indicative from-price range for self-hosting Neo4j Cluster on 1 server: about $24 to $112 per month (USD), as of 2026-10-19, for the reference workload (Graph dataset size (GB): 50; Peak concurrent queries: 50; Read replica count: 0). From-price by provider, each the cheapest server in that provider's own shortlist: $24 on DigitalOcean (basic-2vcpu-4gb, 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, fra1); $49 on Google Cloud (e2-standard-2, 2 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, us-central1); $63 on Amazon Web Services (c9g.large, 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, us-east-1); $64 on OVHcloud (rise-1, 6 vCPU, 32 GB RAM, eu-west); $66 on Microsoft Azure (D2as_v7, 2 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, eastus); $66 on Hetzner (AX41, 6 vCPU, 64 GB RAM, eu-central); $262 on Servers.com (dl-01, 8 vCPU, 64 GB RAM, eu-west).

Reference workload:
- Graph dataset size (GB): 50
- Peak concurrent queries: 50
- Read replica count: 0

Price snapshot: 2026-10-19. Currency: USD. FX snapshot: 2026-10-19.

Configuration: Low end: 1 x basic-2vcpu-4gb (DigitalOcean, 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, about $24 per server per month). High end: 1 x rise-m (OVHcloud, 12 vCPU, 64 GB RAM, about $112 per server per month).

Methodology: This range is generated automatically from public provider price lists. It has not been reviewed by a person, it is not a quote, and it may differ from the total the calculator chooses for your own workload with its AI step. Method: the calculator's offer shortlist for the reference workload (the same ranking it builds before the AI step, up to 12 offers across providers; 12 here) is priced at its monthly list price in USD. The low end is the cheapest of the per-provider from-prices below and the high end is the median server of the combined shortlist, each multiplied by 1, the smallest baseline topology (single-node). The from-price for each provider applies the same method to that provider's own shortlist (the calculator's ranking restricted to that provider), so it is the cheapest server that ranking offers there, not a recommendation. Prices are taken from the price snapshot dated 2026-10-19; prices quoted in EUR are converted with the ECB reference rate dated 2026-10-19. Servers with fewer than 2 vCPU or less than 4 GB RAM are not priced. Only server rental list prices for the product's own servers are counted: dependencies, licences, support, traffic charges, taxes and setup fees are not included.

Neo4j is a native graph database that models data as nodes and relationships and queries it with the Cypher language instead of relational joins; its clustered deployment replicates the graph across multiple core and read-replica servers for high availability.

## Baseline topologies

- single-node: 1 node minimum; roles: neo4j
- causal-cluster: 3 nodes minimum; roles: neo4j-core

## What drives the cost

- Graph dataset size (GB): Total size of nodes, relationships, and properties on disk. Drives page cache and storage sizing.
- Peak concurrent queries: Peak simultaneous Cypher queries. Drives JVM heap, CPU thread pool, and transaction throughput requirements.

## Frequently asked questions

### How much does it cost to self-host Neo4j Cluster?

Indicative from-price range for self-hosting Neo4j Cluster on 1 server: about $24 to $112 per month (USD), as of 2026-10-19, for the reference workload (Graph dataset size (GB): 50; Peak concurrent queries: 50; Read replica count: 0). From-price by provider, each the cheapest server in that provider's own shortlist: $24 on DigitalOcean (basic-2vcpu-4gb, 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, fra1); $49 on Google Cloud (e2-standard-2, 2 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, us-central1); $63 on Amazon Web Services (c9g.large, 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, us-east-1); $64 on OVHcloud (rise-1, 6 vCPU, 32 GB RAM, eu-west); $66 on Microsoft Azure (D2as_v7, 2 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, eastus); $66 on Hetzner (AX41, 6 vCPU, 64 GB RAM, eu-central); $262 on Servers.com (dl-01, 8 vCPU, 64 GB RAM, eu-west). This is an automatically generated indicative figure from public price lists (price snapshot 2026-10-19), not a quote.

### What drives the cost of self-hosting Neo4j Cluster?

The sizing inputs the calculator uses for Neo4j Cluster are: Graph dataset size (GB); Peak concurrent queries. Cost also depends on the number of servers and the provider chosen.

### What is the minimum number of servers for Neo4j Cluster?

The smallest baseline topology in the calculator's profile for Neo4j Cluster is single-node (1 server). Other baseline topologies: causal-cluster (3 servers minimum). The reference range above is computed for 1 server.
