Start free, no card. Pay for the people who build and edit your apps — everyone you share a view with is free.
Build and test one app, on your own.
Ship real tools with your team.
Governance, and at least double the room.
Your limits, your contract.
A builder is anyone who owns an app or has editor or data-editor rights on one. Viewers are free, even on apps that let them add entries — share with as many people as you like.
Appabl is currently available in the United States only.
Your shared allowances are counted per unit. Every builder seat is one unit, and a usage expansion is one more — $7.50 a month on Pro, $15 on Max — so a popular app gets more room without you paying for a teammate who doesn't exist.
| Allowance | Per unit | This org |
|---|---|---|
| App requests, per day | 5,000 | 25,000 |
| Storage | 1 GB | 5 GB |
| Collections | 5 | 25 |
A Free org is one unit. Usage expansions are bought alongside a paid plan.
Traffic, database operations, storage, collections, connectors, realtime connections and guests — everything the table below marks as counted per unit. All of it is pooled across your org rather than fixed per app.
Apps and members are already unlimited on every paid plan, and builders are the seats you buy, so there's nothing to expand. Version history and backups stay per app and rotate — the oldest is pruned to make room for the newest.
Add an expansion from the admin console and the allowance is live immediately, charged the prorated difference. Drop one and you keep the room until your renewal — nothing is taken back mid-cycle.
Going over is never billed. Past a daily allowance, requests are turned away until the counter resets at midnight UTC, and the usage gauges in the console let you see it coming.

1 Counted per unit and shared across your whole org — your cap is the value above multiplied by your units, one per builder seat and one per usage expansion. A Free org has one unit. Storage counts everything you keep: collection documents, every retained app version, and backups. Version history and backups are per app and rotate rather than scale — the oldest is pruned to make room for the newest.

The security and governance rows above are the plan-gated half. How we handle your data covers the rest — tenancy, encryption, auditing and reporting a vulnerability.
Anyone who owns an app or holds editor or data-editor rights on one, directly or through a team. Viewers never take a seat — not even on an app that lets them add entries, like a sign-up form or a poll — so a dashboard can go out to the whole company for nothing.
A cheaper add-on for orgs that need more room but not more people: $7.50 a month on Pro, $15 on Max, and it adds a unit of shared allowance without adding a builder. Buy one when an app gets popular rather than paying for a seat nobody will use. “More room, without more people” above has the arithmetic.
No. It needs no card and runs as long as you like. It's deliberately tight — one app, one builder, three members — so it's the right way to try appabl, not the right way to run a team on it.
Requests over the daily allowance are turned away until the counter resets; storage and collection caps block the next write rather than deleting anything. Nothing is billed as overage, and every plan gets a usage view in the admin console so you can see it coming.
Everything your org keeps: collection documents, stored files, app source for every retained version and the draft in progress, and backups. Version history and backups rotate per app — the oldest is pruned to make room for the newest — so they stay bounded instead of growing forever. The exception is a deleted app's backups: they stay, and count, until you delete them.
Yes, in either direction, from the Billing tab. Upgrading applies immediately. On a downgrade, your apps and data stay and nothing goes read-only, but older versions and backups beyond what the new plan keeps are pruned straight away, and the features your old plan unlocked stop working. If you're over a limit, you keep what you have but can't add more.
