Ten client apps. One $25 server. Margin intact.
Stop paying a new subscription for every client. Host them all on your own server at a flat price, give your developers access to whole projects, and hand clients a clean backup when they leave.
The agency math
- 10 client apps (Pro)
- $25/mo
- 10 apps × per-project vendors
- ~$100+/mo
- Extra seats for developers
- None
- Surprise overages
- None
Compare ~$115/mo for ten Supabase projects, or per-site WordPress fees. On Pro you pay for the server, not per project.
How client work runs
A project per client, a team per project
01
Share the project
OrganizationsCreate an organization and share whole client projects with your developers. Access is immediate, with no invites to accept.
02
Ship the whole app
pbc deploySites, databases and Node, Deno, Bun or Python servers live together, each with its own logs and metrics.
03
Hand over or retain
pb_data.zipEach app on the client’s own domain with HTTPS. Leaving is a backup zip and a DNS change, so you can write it into the contract.
Why agencies consolidate here
Margin you can forecast
One flat price per server. Client number eleven does not change the hosting line.
Client isolation without chaos
Each client runs separately, with its own project, database and credentials, so one client’s problem stays theirs.
Debug client issues without SSH
Live logs and CPU, memory and disk graphs for every app on Pro.
Security you can put in a proposal
HTTPS everywhere, encrypted secrets and a published list of subprocessors. Stated plainly: no SOC 2 or BAA yet.
Honest fit check
Good fit
- Portfolios of SMB client apps, portals, bookings, internal tools
- Teams that want one vendor, one CLI and automatic deploys per client
- Fixed-bid work where variable hosting would eat margin
Not the fit
- Enterprise procurement requiring SOC 2, ISO 27001, BAA or 24/7 SLA
- A preview link for every push, or global edge rendering — keep Vercel for those frontends
