1 million requests in a month is ~0.4 requests per second.
With the Prisma pricing, $1k gets you up to a 48req/s load average, and that's without the geo balancing. For a little more you can get a dedicated Postgres instance with 128GB memory and 1TB+ of disk on DO that would definitely handle magnitudes more load.
Of course there are a bunch of trade-offs, but as the original poster said the gap is pretty wide/wild.
