Pricing questions.
Is the Free plan really free?arrow_downward
Yes. The Free plan runs one PocketBase instance with frontend hosting at no cost. A Stripe subscription is required to verify payment details and prevent abuse — you are never charged.
How does Pro's pay-as-you-go pricing work?arrow_downward
Pro starts from $13/month for a dedicated server and scales with the storage, bandwidth, and resources you actually use. Because you pay for the server — not per instance — you can run unlimited PocketBase instances on it.
Can I upgrade or downgrade any time?arrow_downward
Yes. Move between plans whenever you like — changes take effect immediately and billing is prorated. On Starter you can also buy additional deployment slots as you grow.
