Appwrite Pricing in May 2026

Appwrite's pricing follows tiered structure: Free Plan with reasonable limits, Pro at $15/month per organization for advanced features, Enterprise custom-quote. Self-hosted Appwrite is genuinely free under BSD-3-Clause license.

The Free Plan offer is genuinely valuable for early-stage validation. The strategic decision: Appwrite's value is the breadth of BaaS features under one open-source self-hostable umbrella, with strong Flutter/Mobile-developer focus. For broader BaaS alternatives, Supabase is the dominant BaaS alternative with broader Postgres-based scope and more polished managed service. The Appwrite vs Supabase decision often splits: Appwrite for teams who prefer open-source self-hostable with broader mobile-developer focus; Supabase for Postgres-first teams who want managed service with cleaner developer experience. Firebase is the Google alternative with mature mobile SDKs but proprietary lock-in. PocketBase is the simpler self-hosted alternative — single binary with auth + realtime + admin UI, popular for indie hackers. For specifically auth-only without full BaaS, Auth0, Clerk, Supabase Auth, and Firebase Auth target authentication. For specifically database-only, Postgres (managed via Supabase, Neon, Render), MongoDB (Atlas, self-hosted), and PlanetScale target databases. For specifically storage-only, AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, and Backblaze B2 target object storage. For specifically real-time-only, Pusher, Ably, and PartyKit target realtime infrastructure. For specifically Flutter-anchored apps, FlutterFlow + Supabase or FlutterFlow + Firebase compete. For specifically self-hosted minimal BaaS, PocketBase, NocoDB (database-focused), and Appwrite cover different feature scopes. Convex is the reactive-BaaS alternative with TypeScript-first focus.
