Been using Bit.io for my simple portfolio sites, w/ barely any data. Was easy to use and liked it. Looking to see if anybody knows of similar sites to it?

I’m looking for a PostgreSQL hosting provider with a free tier that meets two key requirements:
-
At least 1GB of free database storage
-
Very generous or effectively unlimited API/query limits
Would appreciate any suggestions or experiences.

What Free Postgres Database service that I can scale up in the future do you recommend?
I wanted to use GCP or AWS database but even their smallest configuration will be about 10$ a month.
I have found elephantsql. It seems decent but wondering if there is a better option.
Any recommendation for anything free or up to 5$/month you would recommend?
I am also referring to a managed database that will have at least options such as backup, replications, multi-regions in case of failure.
Thank you very much
UPDATE1.
It looks like the prices for managed databases are really not far off between different service providers.
So the course of action I think I will adopt is to start with ElephantSQL and if the saas ever scale up and gain traction migrate to Cloud SQL on GCP.
UPDATE2.
Tried to do a test run of migrating from elephantsql to cloudsql. It does take a lot of time as one of the users in the comments highlighted. So I will end up staying with elephantsql. I like how their pricing is structured and you can easily scale up as your app grows. I thought there was a better alternative but maybe not with my current needs.
