  1. Ship faster

    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.
