| Pricing | USD $15+/month (Scale Plan, per application) · free tier: Free Plan $0/month: 50 API requests/minute, 20 database tables, 1 GB file storage, 15,000 objects per table, fixed limits that cannot be increased; no free SSL certificate, no custom domains, no daily backups | $36/month billed annually (Starter; monthly billing carries a 20% premium, indicatively ~$45) · free tier: Free $0/month: 500 records per app, 0 published apps, unlimited test apps and screens, 1 editor, Ada AI (Beta), docs/community support only |
| Pricing model | Subscription (per application), with usage-driven variable option and add-on Function Packs | Subscription |
| Best for | Technical founders and small development teams building data-heavy multi-client apps (web, iOS, Android, Flutter) who want visual speed with real relational data, server-side logic and real-time sync — and teams on Bubble/FlutterFlow/Adalo frontends who need a stronger backend. | Solo founders and small businesses shipping one or two apps who want predictable flat pricing plus real Apple/Google Play distribution, and small agencies staying under five published apps and ten editors. |
| Avoid if | You want a marketing site or simple internal form, run many small apps (per-application pricing), need a fixed predictable monthly bill without managing the Variable/Fixed distinction, or require a firm enterprise/managed hosting quote before engaging sales. | You need more than five published apps, operate in a regulated sector requiring verifiable compliance certification, need complex custom logic, cannot tolerate auto-renewal and credits-not-cash refund risk, or are shipping an iOS-first product where a launch-day crash is unacceptable. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
