Free includes 2 GB storage shared across the organization’s projects; function-local storage is not a durable disk allocation.
Account
Appwrite Cloud Free account; new-user credit-card policy not confirmed.
Retention
Free project pauses after 7 consecutive days without developer Console activity, even if deployed; after 90 days paused, project AND resources are deleted with advance emails.
Custom domain
Appwrite endpoint; free function-specific custom domain connection requires separate verification (do not infer Sites entitlement).
Password protection
Appwrite Auth provides user authentication; no built-in shared password for viewers of arbitrary function output confirmed.
Billing
Free allowances are pooled across two projects in one organization. Function executions disable at the compute limit until the billing cycle resets; additional Free resources cannot be purchased.
Execution
Host custom functions invoked by HTTPS, events or schedules. Deploy via the Appwrite CLI, Git or a code archive. Free runtime 0.5 CPU / 512 MB RAM.
Worth knowing
HIGH RETENTION RISK: pauses without Console development activity after 7 days and permanently deletes 90 days after pause; unsuitable for unattended production.
