  • Announcing Appwrite's new pricing plans

    We are updating Appwrite’s pricing as part of Appwrite Cloud’s move from beta to General Availability. For an extended period, Appwrite Cloud beta remained free for all users. As of January 2024, we introduced pricing for beta. Today, we are introducing a new base price and an updated pricing model that aligns with developer needs and industry standards. This will include pricing for Appwrite Sites and Messaging.

    Apwrite’s new pricing

    This new structure and pricing are designed to be more predictable and better aligned with how teams actually use Appwrite. Below is a brief overview of the pricing changes, which we elaborate on in the official announcement.

    Starting September 1st, 2025, the following pricing changes will go into effect:

    • The base price for Pro will go from $15 to $25 per month

    • The per-seat pricing model is moving to a per-project pricing model

    • Resources will be per project instead of per organization, and we will be giving you more resources per project

    • The bandwidth resources on Pro and Scale will increase by +500%, from 300GB to 2TB per month per project

    • The additional bandwidth price has decreased by 62%, from $40 per 100GB to $15 per 100GB

    • The price for GB hours has decreased by 67%, from $0.18 per GB hour to $0.06 per GB hour

    • The additional storage price has decreased by 6.7%, from $3 per 100GB to $2.8 per 100GB

    • Appwrite Messaging and Sites now have resource limits on Free, Pro, and Scale plans

  • Appwrite Cloud is now Generally Available

    Appwrite Cloud was designed to make it easier to build with Appwrite because we know self-hosting is not for everyone.

    Today, Appwrite Cloud is powering over 300,000 projects, and we are both proud and excited to announce its transition to general availability.

  • Announcing Atomic numeric operations: Safe, server-side increments and decrements

    Introducing: Atomic numeric operations

    A new Database feature that lets you increment or decrement numeric fields directly on the server, without fetching the full document. It’s fast, safe, bandwidth-efficient, and concurrency-friendly.

    Before this feature, updating a number meant fetching the entire document, modifying it on the client, and writing it back, a process prone to race conditions, unnecessary bandwidth use, and extra logic to handle edge cases.

    With Atomic numeric operations, you simply send a delta (like +1 or -3), and Appwrite applies the update atomically on the server. No full document reads, no conflicts, no custom logic. Just consistent, permission-aware updates that work reliably under load.

    This feature is now live for both Appwrite Cloud and Self-Hosted environments.

  • Console and deployment improvements for smoother workflows

    We've shipped several improvements to fix broken flows and clean up the developer experience across Sites, Functions, and the Appwrite Console.

    What's new

    • When creating Sites or Functions, the default Git branch now auto-suggests your GitHub default branch (not the first one).

    • Site screenshots now use the Storage API preview route.

    • The Git deployment modal now auto-fills your production branch.

    • Emails now include preview text for better notification previews.

    • Domain validation status now updates in realtime.

    Fixes

    • No more double Git deployments.

    • Git-related issues no longer cause build failures.

    • Site settings now save correctly even if the first deployment fails.

    • Deployment activation now reflects properly in realtime.

    • DB filters now work as expected.

    • Broken links to API keys path are now fixed.

    • Console no longer adds a null header when executing functions.

    • Fixed a bug where Console project URLs showed "undefined" in self-hosted environments.

    • Multiple UI alignment and responsiveness issues resolved.

    These improvements are now live on Appwrite Cloud, and we'd love to hear about your experience with them.

  • Appwrite Sites now live for everyone.

    We’re excited to announce that Appwrite Sites is now available for everyone to use.

    You can now host your websites and web apps directly from Appwrite.

    Here is a recap of everything we’ve added to Sites:

    • Static hosting: Ideal for single-page applications (SPAs), landing pages, documentation sites, and any project that compiles to static files.

    • Server-side rendering (SSR): Full support for frameworks like Flutter, React, Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Astro, Remix, and more right out of the box.

    • Git integrations: Connect your GitHub repository to enable automatic deployments on every push.

    • Deployment previews: Get a unique preview URL for each pull request—review, test, and merge with confidence.

    • DDoS protection: Built-in protection mechanisms to help safeguard your apps from denial-of-service attacks.

    • The Appwrite Network: Take advantage of many cloud regions, Points of Presence (PoPs), and edge network capabilities, reducing latency and enhancing performance globally.

    • The Appwrite DNS: Appwrite provides a dedicated DNS (Domain Name System) service through its appwrite.zone nameservers to help you manage domain records for your applications.

    • Sites templates: We created ready-to-use customizable templates that you can deploy with one click, directly from Appwrite.

  • Pricing update to Appwrite's Free plan

    Starting September 1st, 2025, the Free plan will be limited to two projects per organization. Projects will never be paused.

    What does this mean for developers on the Free plan?

    If you have more than two projects in your organization on a Free plan, you’ll have full access to all of them until the 1st of September 2025. After that, you’ll need to reduce the number of projects to two or fewer, or upgrade to a paid plan.

    You can pick which ones to keep in your Appwrite Console as of today.

    Everyone on the Free plan has received an email with detailed information. Did you not receive this email? Let us know at billing@appwrite.io.

    Keeping Appwrite sustainable

    We built Appwrite with the help of the open-source community for all developers, from students to enterprises and everything in between. Ensuring that all developers can benefit from Appwrite will always be our priority. Appwrite’s Free plan will continue to provide the tools you need to start building real apps, without compromising on core capabilities. All the core building blocks of Appwrite, Databases, Authentication, Storage, Functions, Messaging, and Sites will remain available on the Free plan.

    If you have questions, need help planning, or want to discuss custom needs, please contact us at billing@appwrite.io. We’re here to support you through the transition and ensure you can keep building without interruptions.

    Thank you for being part of this journey with us.

  • Announcing File Tokens: secure file sharing without the hassle
