Pricing and Billing

Cubby uses a 4-tier pricing model. All billing is handled through Stripe.

​

Pricing Tiers

Annual plans save roughly two months of billing.

​

30-Day Trial

Every new user gets a 30-day trial. Here’s how it works:

• Trial starts on your first deploy, not on signup. Creating an account does not start the clock.
• During the trial: 1 app, SQLite database, share with 2 people
• After the trial expires: your existing app keeps running, but you cannot create new deploys or share your app
• No credit card required for the trial

If you haven’t deployed yet, you can always deploy your first app — the trial starts at that point.

​

Database Access

SQLite is available on all tiers, including the free trial. It’s the simplest option and works well for most small apps. Neon Postgres requires a Builder ($9.99/mo) or Pro ($19.99/mo) plan. Neon provides serverless Postgres with features like branching and snapshots. Database management commands (cubby db export, cubby db branch, cubby db snapshot) also require a Builder or Pro plan. See the Neon tutorial for getting started with Postgres, or the db CLI reference for all database commands.

​

Sharing Limits

Sharing is per-app: each app has its own share count, independent of your other apps. Sharing requires a Starter ($4.99/mo) plan or higher. After your trial expires, sharing is disabled on the free tier.

​

App Limits

How app limits work:

• Redeploys (same app name) are always allowed, regardless of your plan limit. You can always update an existing app.
• New app deploys check against your plan’s app limit. If you’ve reached the limit, you need to upgrade or delete an existing app.
• Pro tier is hard-capped at 20 apps total (15 base + up to 5 add-on slots).
• Extra App add-on available for Builder and Pro tiers to extend your app limit.

​

Upgrading and Downgrading

Upgrading takes effect immediately. Your new plan limits apply right away. Downgrading works as follows:

• Excess apps are stopped at the end of the billing period (not deleted)
• Stopped apps retain their data — SQLite databases are preserved
• If you re-upgrade later, your apps and data are still there
• No data is deleted on downgrade

When apps are stopped during a downgrade, the earliest-created apps are kept running and newer apps are stopped first.
