Which backend platforms have the best free tiers?
Supabase, Firebase, and Vercel offer generous free tiers perfect for side projects and MVPs. Supabase includes PostgreSQL, auth, and storage. Firebase provides real-time database and hosting. Most free tiers support thousands of users before requiring paid plans.
Can I build a production app on free tiers?
Yes, many successful apps start on free tiers and scale up as needed. Free tiers typically support 10K-50K monthly active users. They're perfect for MVPs, prototypes, and small applications. You can upgrade seamlessly when you outgrow the limits.
What are the limitations of free tiers?
Common limitations include reduced database storage (500MB-1GB), limited bandwidth (1-5GB/month), fewer concurrent connections, and basic support. Features like custom domains, advanced security, and team collaboration often require paid plans.
Do free tier projects expire?
Most platforms keep free tier projects active indefinitely as long as you use them. Some providers like Heroku pause inactive apps after 30 days. Always check the specific platform's policy - Firebase, Supabase, and AWS free tiers don't expire based on time.
