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: Subscribe to the Starter plan
Free accounts can create one project but cannot deploy anything. To start deploying, subscribe to the Starter Plan at $5/month.
The Starter plan includes a 3-day free trial — no charge until the trial ends.
- Go to the Plan page in the sidebar
- Click Subscribe on the Starter Plan
- Complete checkout via Stripe
Your plan includes:
| Resource | Included |
|---|---|
| Projects | 1 |
| PocketBase instances | 1 |
| Backend deployments | 1 |
| Frontend deployments | 5 |
Need more? You can purchase add-on slots at any time from the Plan page.
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.
