Pricing questions.
Am I paying PocketBase for this?
No. You are paying PocketBase Cloud, an independent hosting provider with no affiliation to the PocketBase open source project. PocketBase itself is free, open source software under the MIT licence — none of these fees go to its authors, and none of these plans grant anything from them. What you pay for here is the infrastructure, provisioning, SSL, backups and support that we provide. You can always download PocketBase from pocketbase.io and run it yourself for free.
Is the Free plan really free?
Yes. The Free plan runs one PocketBase instance with frontend hosting at no cost. A Stripe subscription is required to verify payment details and prevent abuse - you are never charged.
How does Pro pricing work?
Pro is a flat $20/month. Subscribing provisions your own dedicated compute (2 vCPU) in a region you choose, set up automatically in the background — provisioning can take up to 48 hours. Each compute supports effectively unlimited PocketBase instances, backend deployments, and frontends — you're paying for the compute, not per deployment.
Which regions can I choose for my Pro compute?
Ten locations across Europe (Gravelines, Strasbourg, Roubaix, Frankfurt, London, Warsaw), North America (Beauharnois, Vint Hill VA), and Asia-Pacific (Singapore, Sydney) — pick one at checkout and your dedicated compute is provisioned there.
