If I upgrade from Level 4 to Level 5, are the unlimited records retained? Or, by changing the license, do the record limits apply again?
With the new EU & US Data Residency feature, how close are we to GDPR compliance?

Q: Why are new users limited to only 50k–250k records per database?
I’m concerned that the new 50k–250k records-per-database limits are too restrictive for production. You mentioned that clients are already running 4–5M+ records in a database without issues. If the infrastructure supports that scale, why are new users limited to only 50k–250k?
Adding another database isn’t a practical solution once the limit is reached, since applications may need to query and...

A: Thanks for sharing your concern. The limits are intentional and are part of our new AppSumo deal structure.
We’ve already announced this change in the “From the Founder” section on AppSumo. The fact that some existing customers are running databases with 4–5M+ records doesn’t mean that the same capacity is included in the new lifetime deal. Those customers are on different plans/deal...
Hi Riya — please reconsider a Tier 6 with unlimited records; even at a premium one-time price, I'd take it — both sides benefit. Alternatively, since one-time capacity add-ons are available, would you offer a Tier 5 add-on: 250k→1M records/database, $99–$149 one-time? I'm running several client apps on this, so lifetime predictability matters. Kind regards, Nigel.
Will the Pre-hooks, custom domains, and additional database add-ons be available at the same price in our dashboard for the foreseeable future? It would be very nice for sumolings

A: Currently, the pricing is the same on AppSumo and in our dashboard. However, our regular dashboard pricing may change over time, so we can’t guarantee permanent price parity. We’ll certainly keep this in mind as we evolve our pricing and the Sumo-ling experience.
Yes, thanks, that would be nice for sumolings to have VIP accounts and get the discounted rates. If you guys decide to increase those prices for sumolings, which I hope you don't, would you at least let us know in an email when the prices will change? I haven't pulled the trigger on this because I don't know how many pre-hooks and custom domains I would need yet.
I built a desktop app in Google Ai Studio and it works exactly how I want it. However, I know it is probably not secure and it needs a better auth. I don't really know what an API is, but I would imagine that is part of the auth/login. Can I use NCB to make it secure and give it a secure backend database? It is currently Firebase.

A: Hi! The short answer is yes, 100%. What you are describing is one of the biggest reasons people use NoCodeBackend (NCB). Firebase is great for quick prototypes, but securing it requires writing complex security rules. If those aren’t configured correctly, anyone can often read or overwrite your entire database. With NoCodeBackend, you get a secure, production-grade database and built-in user...
