Frontly just launched an exciting 2.0 platform featuring our AI Copilot!
As part of this platform change, our pricing structure has shifted dramatically, and this article explains the details. Although at a quick glance, it might look like the new deal is better than previous offers, it's actually not, and this article details why.
All Current Paid Users Get Equivalent Access In 2.0 Platform
If you purchased access to Frontly's old system, that means you'll get the same payment plan copied over to V2, but adjusted to reflect the updated way that we measure usage / pricing (don't worry, you're actually getting MORE usage than before)!
Request Your Payment Plan To Be Copied To V2

Apps Vs Branded Apps
We've shifted to a more generous 'freemium' model offering unlimited apps, but these apps have several limitations:
Have Frontly Logo instead of your own custom logo
Have a large 'Made With Frontly' badge
No Custom Domain (has yourapp.frontly.app)
Limited to 1,000 monthly database operations across all apps combined
For new buyers, there's a new concept called 'Branded Apps', which come with custom branding for each app, logo, etc.
In the previous campaigns, all 'apps' were branded apps. So, V1 users will get as many 'Branded Apps' as you had 'Apps' in your old plan.
Note: The number of apps offered in the new campaign is substantially less (maxing out at 20 on the $749 plan vs previously unlimited for a lower price).
Operation Limits
Previous LTD buyers have no operation limits on Google Sheets or Supabase integrations, and that will be honored in the new platform as well! The new Frontly DB will however have operations limits for all users, but we're giving all existing paid users 10,000 monthly operations as a baseline.
Our philosophy is that Frontly DB is a really great way to get going quickly, and when you're ready to scale beyond these limits, you'll most likely be ready to move to your own Supabase account.
Since the V2 platform is new, we're also still learning about usage and may make adjustments to increase usage limits further if we feel that makes sense.
New buyers are strictly limited to a set operation limit organization-wide, which is a substantial factor in the value you get for your plans.
Frontly Database Rows
The introduction of the Frontly Database is to help streamline the user experience in getting started. For businesses scaling their apps, we suggest migrating to your own separate database for full control.
1. Free users - Limited to 1k rows
2. Paid users - Limited to 10K rows
Note: Google Sheets and Supabase are not limited by row.
AI Credits
Frontly's brand-new AI Copilot uses AI much more than was ever used before, and the AI landscape has shifted dramatically in the past year.
For that reason, we've adjusted what an 'AI Credit' or AI Token means in our system and how they are measured.
For brand-new free users, the baseline credit amount is 250, which is a small amount of usage, but enough to build most of your first app with a few iterations.
For anyone who purchased plans in the past, as part of the plan migration to V2, your limits will increase as follows:
AI Credits:
Old Tier 1 (10 credit limit) => V2 migration - 500 Credit limit
Old Tier 2 (20 credit limit) => V2 migration - 1,000 Credit limit
Old Tier 3 (100 credit limit) => V2 migration - 2,000 Credit limit
Old Tier 4 (200 credit limit) => V2 migration - 4,000 Credit limit
Old Tier 5 (500 credit limit) => V2 migration - 10,000 Credit limit
Additionally, users can increase their AI token limits by connecting your own API key:
All old LTD users = 20X your AI tokens with your own API key
New Tier 3/4 Lifetime users = 5X your AI tokens with your own API key
New Tier 4 Annual users = 5X your AI tokens with your own API key
