This page is designed for existing customers who are currently on a legacy plan and want to understand the current pricing lineup. New customers should start on the pricing page.

Start here: what plan are you on?

Good news: If you’re already on the $29 Starter plan, you can keep it.When to consider switching to Essential
  • You want more CPU / more workspaces / more seats
  • You want Direct Database Connector included
  • You need ISO / SOC compliance included
Essential is the new “real app / production” entry point. Starter remains a great grandfathered option for hobby projects and low-usage workloads.

​
Scale → Pro cheat sheet (legacy)

Pro is the closest match in the current lineup, and it bundles some capabilities that historically were add-ons.
  • If you need auto-scaling, check whether you have access to Pro + Autoscale Boost (or stay on Scale).
  • If you want a simpler bundle and you use the Database Connector and/or Xano Link, Pro may be a better fit.
You’re likely already getting more performance than Pro provides by default.
  • If performance and built-in scaling are the priority, staying on Scale is often the simplest path.
  • If your workload has changed and you no longer need the higher Scale tier, Pro can be a cost-optimization option (especially if you want bundled add-ons).
If you share your current CPU utilization and scaling pattern, Support can recommend whether it’s worth switching.

Switch to Essential if you need: more CPU, more workspaces, more seats, compliance, or Direct Database Connector included.Otherwise, staying on Starter is fine for smaller projects.
Essential is the closest match to Launch in the current lineup.If you pay for add-ons on Launch that are bundled into Essential, switching may simplify your bill.
If auto-scaling is critical:
  • You may prefer to stay on Scale (if that’s what you’re on today), or
  • Evaluate Pro + Autoscale Boost (if offered on your account), or
  • Talk to Sales/Support about a Custom plan for higher-scale needs.
