Adds a new blog post: Prisma Compute vs Vercel Pricing.

  • Slug: prisma-compute-vs-vercel-pricing
  • Source: synced from the Notion master (Prisma Compute vs Vercel Pricing 2026)
  • Author: Martin Janse van Rensburg
  • Tags: prisma-postgres, platform

Files

  • apps/blog/content/blog/prisma-compute-vs-vercel-pricing/index.mdx
  • apps/blog/public/prisma-compute-vs-vercel-pricing/imgs/hero.svg — 1200×630 Eclipse-style comparison-card cover: the modeled month as two bars (Vercel Pro ~$236 slate reference, Prisma Compute ~$98 teal), with the official Prisma prism and Vercel triangle marks as row icons (per Vercel's brand guidelines, symbols in a multi-brand display). Brand fonts (Mona Sans / Inter / Geist Mono) subset and embedded.
  • apps/blog/public/prisma-compute-vs-vercel-pricing/imgs/meta.png — OG/social image rendered pixel-identical from the hero SVG (~254 KB). metaImagePath + heroImageAlt wired into frontmatter, resolving the earlier "no OG image yet" note.

Cross-mentions of the post

  • apps/docs/content/docs/compute/pricing.mdx — added to the "What to read next" list.
  • apps/docs/content/docs/compute/faq.mdx — referenced from the "Is Prisma Compute free?" answer.
  • apps/site/src/app/pricing/pricing-page-content.tsx — the Prisma Compute banner on /pricing now also links the comparison.

Copy pass (light)

  • Expected-rates link now points at the compute pricing doc (/docs/compute/pricing) instead of the docs index.
  • Co-location claim links the compute docs overview (was docs/compute/branching) and links the Prisma Postgres product page.
  • Preview-URL sentence links the branching doc; removed the misplaced Bun anchor.
  • Internal blog link made relative (/blog/price-the-work-not-the-workflow); em dash in the Steven Tey sentence replaced with a period (house style avoids em dashes).
  • Closing :::ppg CTA callout: try the math yourself on Compute while the beta is free.

Notes for review (draft)

  • Three minor copyedits vs the Notion master carried over from the first draft (duplicated clause, "planned rates" duplication, Steven Tey sentence). Notion master should be reconciled to match, including the copy pass above.
  • Validated: pnpm --filter blog types:check, pnpm --filter site types:check, pnpm --filter docs lint:links, targeted oxfmt/oxlint on the pricing page component (all pass; the @prisma/eclipse type errors seen on a fresh checkout disappear after pnpm --filter @prisma/eclipse build).

CodeRabbit blocks several paths by default. You can override this behavior by explicitly including those paths in the path filters. For example, including **/dist/** will override the default block on the dist directory, by removing the pattern from both the lists.

In `@apps/blog/content/blog/prisma-compute-vs-vercel-pricing/index.mdx`:
- Around line 22-46: The Vercel comparison in the pricing table and 20M-request
example is using gross usage costs instead of the Pro plan’s net billing model.
Update the calculations and surrounding text in the blog content so they account
for the $20/month Vercel Pro platform fee with one seat and $20 usage credit,
and revise the “once idle, it costs nothing” phrasing to reflect that only usage
beyond the included credit is billable. Use the existing pricing comparison and
the “Comparing a 20M-request app on Prisma Compute vs Vercel” section to
recompute the Vercel total consistently.
- Around line 7-12: The frontmatter for this blog post is missing a dedicated
metaImagePath, so the page will fall back to heroImagePath and use the SVG as
the only preview image. Update the post metadata in the markdown frontmatter to
include a proper metaImagePath for the OG asset, and keep heroImagePath only for
the article hero; use the existing blog post frontmatter keys to locate the
change.

…e-vs-Vercel post

- New 1200x630 Eclipse-style hero.svg (comparison-card module) with the
  official Prisma and Vercel marks, plus a pixel-identical meta.png OG
  image; wired into frontmatter with heroImageAlt.
- Copy pass: point the expected-rates link at /docs/compute/pricing, fix
  the co-location link target, link Prisma Postgres, move the preview-URL
  link off the misplaced Bun anchor, drop an em dash, and close with a
  Compute CTA callout.
- Cross-mentions: compute pricing docs read-next list, compute FAQ
  pricing answer, and the Prisma Compute banner on the site pricing page
  now link to the post.

The bar chart made Vercel's larger bill read as the bigger, better bar.
Replace the two-bar comparison with a single stacked bar of the ~$236
Vercel (Pro) bill where the dominant teal segment is the ~$138/month
you keep on Prisma Compute; headline becomes '~58% less on Prisma'.
Alt text updated to match.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The stacked bar still let the teal segment read as Prisma's cost.
Replace it with the universal discount treatment: the ~$236 Vercel
(Pro) price struck through, becoming ~$98 on Prisma Compute in teal,
with an explicit 'save ~$138 / month' pill.
