Why does 8base charge per Workspace?

Each time we create a workspace for you we provision compute, storage, database, our GraphQL engine and more. Charging per workspace allows you to maintain a combination of production-grade workspaces while also maintaining more development-grade workspaces for small projects or simply getting started. In this way, you really only pay for what you use.

8base team-based pricing

Q: What happens when I hit my usage limit?

Every paid plan comes with it's own overages for each metered resource. At the end of each month, you'll be billed for your selected workspace plan + any overages above the included limits. This makes sure that limits/quotas will NOT affect the performance or availability of your workspace!

Q: What are my payment options?

A User (Client App User) is someone who signs-up/registers for the application you build. For example, if you build a mobile app or website and 50 people sign-up/register in the first month (creating an App User record in 8base), that would count as 50 users.

Q: What is a Workspace API Call?

Subscriptions are websocket connections that allow for real-time data feeds to be established and utilized. For example, a messaging app could use subscriptions to get a notification everytime a new message gets sent!

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does 8base charge per Project?

Each time we create a project for you, we provision computing, storage, database, our GraphQL engine and more. Charging per project allows you to maintain a combination of production-grade projects while also maintaining more development-grade projects for smaller projects or simply getting started. In this way, you only pay for what you use.

What are my payment options?

8base can process subscription payments made by a valid Debit or Credit card (Amex, Visa, Mastercard, Discover). Invoice-based payment is available for large contracts in our Custom pricing tier.

What counts as a Client App User?

A "User" (Client App User) is someone who signs-up/registers for the application you build. For example, if you build a mobile app or website and 50 people sign-up/register in the first month (creating an "App User" record in 8base), that would count as 50 users.

What happens when I hit my usage limit?

Every paid plan comes with its own "overages" for each metered resource. At the end of each month, you'll be billed for your selected workspace plan + any overages above the included limits. This makes sure that limits/quotas will NOT affect the performance or availability of your workspace!

What is a Workspace API Call?

Every 8base workspace gets its own unique API endpoint through which all data/resources can get fetched and updated. Everytime a request is made to that endpoint, we count it as 1-request – whether a single record or list of records are being queried, updated, or deleted.

What is a GraphQL Subscription Event?

"Subscriptions" are websocket connections that allow for real-time data feeds to be established and utilized. For example, a messaging app could use subscriptions to get a notification every time a new message gets sent!

What are the database row and file/attachment usage limits?

These limits differ significantly by plan. That said, they refer to the total number of database rows created in a workspace (across tables) and the aggregate file-size of all uploaded media assets (videos, pictures, .pdfs, etc).
