About
Anvil is a Python web app platform that provides a visual editor, built-in hosting, user management, databases, deployment, and integrations in a single framework. Developers can build front-end and back-end code in Python, connect external databases and authentication services, and deploy apps with one click.
The free plan includes one developer account, unlimited apps, cloud hosting, Python library installation, static file storage, light CPU/RAM, 50,000 data table rows, 100 MB of data table storage, and a 30-second background task timeout. Paid plans add custom domains, scheduled tasks, collaboration, SAML login, Microsoft/Azure integration, private GitHub repos, and larger data and server limits.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is a genuinely usable starter plan: it includes unlimited apps, cloud hosting, Python libraries, and modest database/storage limits, so it’s worth more than a token taste. The cheapest paid plan is Hobby at $10/month billed annually, and the free tier keeps roughly 70%+ of the practical basics while leaving out paid conveniences like scheduled tasks and extra storage, so about $3/month is a fair estimate. A credit card is not called out as required, and the offer is free forever but still capped, so it lands well below the paid plan rather than near full price.
