Firebase Pricing Explained 2023

As of February 2022, Firebase has retired the Flame pricing plan.
Projects can no longer switch to or sign-up for the Flame plan, and existing projects have been downgraded to the Spark pricing plan. Learn more.
Which products are paid? Which are no-cost?
Firebase's paid infrastructure products are the Realtime Database, Cloud Storage for Firebase, Cloud Functions, Hosting, Test Lab, and phone authentication. We offer a no-cost tier for all of these features.

Firebase also has many no-cost products: Analytics, Cloud Messaging, the Notifications composer, Remote Config, App Indexing, Dynamic Links, and Crash Reporting. You can use an unlimited amount of any of these products in all plans, including our no-cost Spark plan. In addition, all Authentication features beyond phone authentication are no-cost.

Does Firebase offer no-cost trial credits for paid products?
Firebase paid services can be used under the Google Cloud Free Trial. New Google Cloud and Firebase users can take advantage of a 90-day trial period that includes $300 in free Cloud Billing credits to explore and evaluate Google Cloud and Firebase products and services.

During the Google Cloud Free Trial period, you'll be provided a Free Trial Cloud Billing account. Any Firebase project that uses that billing account will be on the Blaze pricing plan during the free trial period.

Don't worry, setting up this Free Trial Cloud Billing account does not enable us to charge you. You are not charged unless you explicitly enable billing by upgrading your Free Trial Cloud Billing account to a paid account. You can upgrade to a paid account at any time during the trial. After you've upgraded, you can still use any remaining credits (within the 90-day period).

Once the free trial expires, you'll need to either downgrade your project to the Spark pricing plan or set up the Blaze pricing plan in the Firebase console to continue using your Firebase project.

How do I know which pricing plan is right for me?
Spark pricing plan
Our Spark plan is a great place to develop your app at no cost. You get all the no-cost Firebase features (Analytics, the Notifications composer, Crashlytics, and so on) and generous amounts of our paid infrastructure features. However, if you exceed your Spark plan resources in a calendar month, your app will be shut off for the remainder of that month. In addition, Google Cloud features are not available when using the Spark plan.

Blaze pricing plan
Our Blaze plan is designed for production apps. The Blaze plan also allows you to extend your app with paid Google Cloud features. You pay only for the resources that you consume, allowing you to scale with demand. We strive to make our Blaze plan prices competitive with industry-leading cloud providers.

It also greatly depends on what exactly your app/service does! 1Gb of free storage for many apps IS NOTHING!!! 1 Terabyte of storage? Okay that's more like it but 1Gb of storage is like maybe 100 user's who each has 10Mb of storage which is NOTHING and could easily be exceeded dependant on the service you provide in your app/website!

I'm using Firebase Console for push notifications only. Do I need a base plan? If I go with the Spark plan, will I face any issues?

How would you store your data (organize files) to be the most cost-effective possible using google cloud storage?

I really really like firebase database but the pricing is way off the table especially for my current were a dollar is almost 4, 000 UGX which can get me a full meal and cold water.

The problem is theres not open source exact replica of firebase not even comparable to firebase.

I wish I was poor I could devote about 2 months of my time using golang, or node with either mongodb self hosted or json and to build an exact replica of firebase database, most especially the authentication, the realtime database not the firestore i hate relational databases. The cloud storage part push notifications and analytics all it's not simple but not that difficult just time consuming. Then replicate the sdks and apis and the uids and security.

But that needs alot of time has been my main issue, but I really really prefer the format of firebase document oriented database.
