How much does a small service cost on Railway?
It depends on what it uses. At the time of writing a service that averaged 0.1 vCPU and 0.5 GB of RAM all month would use about $2 of CPU and $5 of memory, or $7 in total. On Hobby that means the $5 fee, which covers the first $5 of usage, plus about $2.
