About
Appwrite is an open-source backend development platform that combines authentication, databases, storage, serverless functions, messaging, realtime subscriptions, hosting, and network services in one console. The cloud offering supports web and mobile frameworks including React, Next.js, Vue, SvelteKit, Flutter, Android, iOS, Node.js, Python, PHP, Ruby, Go, Dart, Rust, Kotlin, Swift, and Java.
The free plan includes 5GB bandwidth, 2GB storage, 750K executions, 75K monthly active users, 1 database, 1 bucket, 2 functions per project, and 15-minute build timeouts. Free projects are paused after 1 week of inactivity and the plan is limited to 2 projects, so the free offering is a perpetual capped tier rather than an unlimited edition.

Free Tier Value
The pricing page shows a Free plan at $0 with capped recurring limits and a Pro plan starting at $25/month. Using the instruction for free_tier, the conservative FTV is the prorated value of the cheapest paid plan that exceeds the free cap: $25 * (free cap / paid cap), which is roughly $1.07 from the 5GB/2TB bandwidth cap, and other caps are even smaller in value, so a conservative single-number estimate is $1/month. Feature parity is about 50% because several production features are gated to Pro/Enterprise, including dedicated resources, email support, backups, and higher limits.
