Pricing questions.
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's pay-as-you-go pricing work?
Pro starts from $13/month for a dedicated server and scales with the storage, bandwidth, and resources you actually use. Because you pay for the server - not per instance - you can run unlimited PocketBase instances on it.
