Dimensions summary
You deploy Appwrite on your own AWS EC2 instance, and billing follows an hourly rate per instance type. The software itself carries no license fee under this free listing. Your cost depends on which EC2 instance you pick. Options span general-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, and GPU or accelerated families, in sizes from small shared instances up to bare-metal and multi-terabyte machines. Larger instances carry higher hourly rates because they provide more CPU, memory, or specialized hardware. You pay only for the hours each instance runs, so costs scale with usage.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You pay a per-hour rate tied to the EC2 instance type you launch. Each instance maps to a set amount of CPU, memory, and in some families, GPU or specialized hardware. The rate reflects that hardware spec. You run Appwrite, the open-source backend platform, on that instance.
Hourly charges apply only while the instance runs. A stopped instance stops accruing hourly software charges. Underlying AWS storage for the stopped instance may still bill separately through AWS. The metered time counts running hours, so idle shutdowns reduce your cost.
No. Appwrite is the same open-source platform on every instance type. Larger instances give you more CPU, memory, or specialized hardware for heavier workloads, not added functionality. You choose the size based on expected traffic and compute needs, and the hourly rate scales with that hardware.
