- File storage and vector embedding support for modern app use cases
- Open-source platform with self-hosting and community contribution options
Free Tier Value
This free tier is genuinely usable for small projects: it includes a dedicated database, unlimited API requests, 50,000 monthly active users, storage, egress, and community support. The cheapest paid plan starts at $25/month, and the free tier keeps most of the core platform capability while mainly limiting scale and premium features, so it’s worth about the full $25/month to a buyer comparing plans. The offer is perpetual but capped, and a credit card is required to get started.
