Backendless Cloud Pricing
Backendless offers three cloud-based pricing plans. All plans offer unlimited developer seats at no extra cost. The Free Plan is designed for exploring and learning the platform. The Scale Plans are where you will develop your application, publish it, and manage it once it’s live – and scale without limit. The Scale Plan has two variations: Scale Variable and Scale Fixed; they have the same limits but apply different rules for calculating the monthly bill. You can expand the Scale Plans with Function Packs from the Backendless Marketplace. All pricing is per application.
A Closer Look
The Scale Plan offers two variations: Scale Variable and Scale Fixed. Both plans have identical limits; the only difference is how the monthly bill is calculated. For the Scale Variable plan, the bill is computed as a sum of individual daily charges. Each daily charge is based on the peak number of API requests per minute during a 24-hour cycle. In contrast, the Scale Fixed plan has a set price determined by the highest tier you select. For more details about these plans, please follow the links: Scale Variable pricing and Scale Fixed pricing.
