What “unlimited” means. Pro gives you one dedicated 2 vCPU compute, not a metered quota. Frontends are static files behind Caddy and cost almost nothing; each PocketBase instance is a small Go process; each backend runs a Node, Deno or Bun runtime, much the heaviest of the three. Dozens of instances and sites fit comfortably — backends are what you run out of room for first. Nothing is metered and you are never billed by surprise: if you reach the machine’s ceiling we tell you, and additional computes are on the way. Plans & billing.

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 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. It is one real machine rather than a metered quota. Frontends are static files and cost almost nothing, each PocketBase instance is a small Go process, and each backend runs a Node, Deno or Bun runtime — much the heaviest of the three. Dozens of instances and sites fit comfortably; backends are what you run out of room for first. Nothing is metered, and we tell you if you approach the compute's ceiling.
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.
What are the Free plan API request limits?
Free-plan PocketBase instances can serve 500 API requests per hour (requests to /api paths). When the hour's limit is spent, the API answers 429 until the top of the next hour — your data and the admin panel are unaffected. Starter and Pro plans have no API request limit.
