One price. No meters.
Stop doing backend math. This is the whole pricing page — one seat, one flat price, everything included.
- Full backend: auth, realtime database, file storage, admin UI
- Vector search built in — no Pinecone needed
- ZeroAI agent OS: agent memory, audit ledger, permission gates
- MCP server, REST API, and CLI for AI-assisted development
- Your data as SQLite files — take them anywhere
- No bandwidth meters, no per-seat premiums, no surprise bills
Just want to tinker?
The free dev tier lets you run InvisibleDB on your own hosting while you build — full features, no card, no trial clock. It's the same backend, on hardware you already pay for. Upgrade to a hosted seat when you're ready to stop thinking about servers.
An honest comparison
We're not the right choice for everyone. Here's where each option actually wins.
| InvisibleDB | PocketHost | Firebase | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | $6.99/mo flat · first month $1 | $9.99/mo per backend | Free, then scales to hundreds |
| Vector search | Built in | Not included | Separate service, separate bill |
| Your data | SQLite files — take them anywhere | Managed on their infra | Locked in Google Cloud |
| DevOps required | Zero | Zero | Zero, until the bill arrives |
| AI-agent ready | MCP + ZeroAI agent OS | API only | API only |
| Free tier | Yes — dev tier | No | Yes — Spark plan |
| Track record | New — we earn it daily | Trusted since 2021 | Google-scale, since 2011 |
PocketHost has years of trust. We win on price, on built-in AI search, on the ZeroAI agent OS, and on the fact that your data is never held hostage.

Questions, answered straight
No marketing fog.
What do I actually get?
A complete hosted backend per seat: user auth, a realtime database, file storage, a full admin UI, built-in vector search, and the ZeroAI agent OS — all reachable through one Dart SDK (plus JavaScript and REST). You write app code; the backend just exists.
Can I leave with my data?
Yes — that's the point. Your data lives in plain SQLite files. Export them any time, move them anywhere, run them yourself. We'd rather keep you with a great product than with lock-in.
Do I need DevOps experience?
No. Sign up, copy your API keys, paste the snippet. There are no servers to configure, no containers to babysit, no YAML. If you've ever added a package to pubspec.yaml, you already know enough.
What about scale?
Honest answer: InvisibleDB is built for indie apps growing into real businesses — thousands to hundreds of thousands of users, not billions. If you outgrow us, your SQLite files come with you. We'd rather tell you the ceiling than discover it together at 3am.
Is the free tier really free?
Yes. Run InvisibleDB on your own hosting while you develop — full features, no card, no trial clock. When you want us to host it and stop thinking about servers, that's $6.99/mo (first month $1).
What's the ZeroAI agent OS?
It's the deterministic layer around AI models that ships with every seat: persistent agent memory, a tamper-evident audit ledger, a permission broker, and lifecycle gates. Your agents stop hallucinating state because state lives outside inference. Read the full breakdown →
Your backend, handled.
First month is $1. Your data stays yours. What's stopping you?
