Creating a Project
Projects are the top-level container for all your deployments. Each project can contain PocketBase instances, backends, and frontends.
Step 1: Sign up
Head to the PocketBase Cloud dashboard and sign in with your Google account. That’s the only step — no email verification, no password to remember.
Step 2: Choose a plan
To start deploying, pick a plan from the Plan page in the sidebar:
- Free ($0/month) — includes 1 PocketBase instance and frontend hosting. A Stripe subscription is required to collect payment information and prevent abuse. You won’t be charged.
- Starter ($5/month) — includes 1 PocketBase instance, frontend hosting, dedicated server cluster, and custom domains. No trial.
- Pro (pay-as-you-go) — unlimited PocketBase instances, backend hosting, and dedicated servers.
- Go to the Plan page in the sidebar
- Click Subscribe on your chosen plan
- Complete checkout via Stripe
Step 3: Create a project
- Navigate to Projects in the sidebar
- Click New Project
- Enter a project name (e.g.,
my-saas-app) - Click Create
Your project is now ready. From the project page you can deploy PocketBase instances, backends, and frontends.
