  1. Ship faster

    Utilizing Appwrite as your all-in-one platform, you significantly cut down the time and resources spent on building a backend infrastructure from scratch and you deploy directly from Appwrite with Sites. This means you can get to quicker iterations and faster time-to-market, directly addressing the challenge of finding product-market fit sooner.

    The integrated user authentication and the ease of creating data structures have undoubtedly saved us several weeks' worth of time.

  • Appwrite saved us a lot of money in comparison to Firebase since the amount of users grew quite fast and we needed a quick switch. I am still surprised how easy the implementation into Flutter was.

  • We have somewhere between 200,000 to 600,000 function executions per day. It's especially nice that you guys have to deal with the scaling now and not me.

Please review our pricing page for a full overview of the Scale plan limits.

  • Are OTP SMS costs covered by Appwrite?

    All Appwrite plans include 10 free SMS messages per month, which allows you to test and implement OTP functionality without immediate costs. After this, you will have to pay the costs for SMS OTP. Please refer to our rates page for a breakdown of the pricing, including rates by region and specific SMS costs.
