Ryan O'ConnerFounder // K-CollectWe reduced 80% time-to-market of our apps using Appwrite.
Gilbert Gonzalez@ggsotilloIt is great you are delivering an awesome product that is Open Source as well as having a great community!
Eddie Jaoude@eddiejaoudeAppwrite 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.
David ForsterCreator // Open MindThe integrated user authentication and the ease of creating data structures have undoubtedly saved us several weeks worth of time.
Marius BolikCTO // mySHOEFITTERFor me, Appwrite is the perfect backend solution. All you have to do is sign up, and your backend is ready to go. I have never seen such an innovative and easy-to-understand backend solution before!
Ryan O'ConnerFounder // K-CollectLoving it. I've been a web developer for 20+ years and I've never gotten from 0 lines to actual useful coding so fast. 100% recommend.
Diego Ferreyra@diego_ferreyra1I just migrated a project from Firebase to Appwrite: Authentication, Users, Databases and Storage. And I can't be more in love with it.
Alejandro Morales@alexpartonThe integrated user authentication and the ease of creating data structures have undoubtedly saved us several weeks worth of time.
Marius BolikCTO // mySHOEFITTERThanks to Appwrite and advances in technology, we were able to get an MVP out in 2-3 months with 1 developer.
Jonas JanssenFounder // UNDOWe 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.

Yes, with the Appwrite Startups program, you can host your website or web app with Appwrite Sites.
I am already a Scale user. Can I apply?
If you are currently on a Scale plan, you can't apply for the program as the program is intended for Startups to help them relieve financial burdens at an early stage. If you're able to pay for a Scale plan, we will consider you ineligible.

We have set generous limits to ensure most applications can grow comfortably within those limits without incurring high bills. 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.
What happens if we scale overnight?
Appwrite has the resources to handle large amounts of traffic, ensuring stability and room for scale for your application. We can also offer increased support and on-call help during your launch.

What if we need more resources than what is offered in the Startups program?
If you need more resources than Appwrite Scale, we can discuss your needs and create a more tailored and custom plan.
