Can I use Appwrite Self-Hosted commercially?
Hi! I'm a student working on my own app, and in the future I’d like to monetize it (e.g. through subscriptions or paid features). I'm using Appwrite Self-Hosted for authentication, database, and user management.
Do I need to buy any Appwrite plan or license to legally sell my app that uses Appwrite in the background?
Thanks in advance for the help!
TL;DR
Developers can use Appwrite Self-Hosted commercially without buying any additional plan or license. The platform operates under the BSD 3 license, allowing you to monetize your app as long as you adhere to the details of the license.
Hi @wleci 🙂 Appwrite's open source platform operates under the BSD 3 license. I'd suggest learning more about the license: https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite?tab=BSD-3-Clause-1-ov-file
More about it here: https://opensource.org/license/bsd-3-clause
So the answer is yes, you can build an app with Appwrite and monetize it, just understand the details within the license 🙂
