  Appwrite Cloud plans as published on the pricing page. Plans apply at the ORGANIZATION level;
  resources are shared across projects on Free and allocated per project on paid plans. Every quota
  resets per billing period. This file replaces a 2026-05-04 scaffold that carried invented request
  quotas and TBD prices — none of those numbers were Appwrite's.
plan_count: 4
currency: USD
billing_period: month
note: >-
  Appwrite's meters are resource-shaped (bandwidth, storage, executions, MAU, database reads and
  writes, realtime connections, embedding tokens), not request-shaped — there is no "API calls per
  month" quota anywhere in Appwrite's pricing. The uptime-SLA page names a fourth tier, Scale, that
  sits between Pro and Enterprise with a 99.9% commitment; the pricing page did not price it at the
  time of reading, so it is recorded with a null price rather than a guess.

      Tier named in Appwrite's Uptime SLA and Free-plan downgrade documentation, carrying a 99.9%
      monthly uptime commitment. Price not published on the pricing page as read on 2026-09-12.
    entries: []
    elements:
      - name: 99.9% uptime SLA
    note: Recorded because Appwrite's own SLA and billing pages price commitments against it; the
      price is genuinely absent rather than unknown to us.

    note: Named in the Uptime SLA as a non-usage-based add-on included in service-credit calculations.
  - name: SOC 2
    availability: Enterprise
    price: not published
overage_policy: >-
  On Pro, additional resources are purchased automatically as limits are exceeded, until the
  organization's budget cap is reached. On Free there is no overage: reaching a limit disables the
  affected capability (uploads, executions, realtime, new accounts) until the next billing period,
  and exceeding bandwidth denies API access outright.
