Pricing Ethos

At PocketHost, we believe in keeping things simple and transparent. Pay Per PocketBase is our only monthly plan: $5 per slot per month. We also offer a limited Flounder lifetime deal during our bootstrapping phase.

Pay Per PocketBase

Each paid slot adds:

• 250 MB pooled DB data storage
• 10 GB pooled file storage
• One powered-on PocketBase at a time

Create unlimited instance records. Your slot count (subscription_quantity) sets how many PocketBases you can power on at once. Add another slot, add another $5.

• Fair use bandwidth and CPU on all paid slots
• 7-day risk-free trial on signup
• Community support on Discord for everyone

See pricing for checkout.

• One-time payment: Pay Per PocketBase features without recurring fees
• Limited availability: Flounder sales end July 1, 2026
