A: Hi,

1. What does additional record capacity cost, how many records does each purchase add, and is there a maximum size a DB can reach?

Ans: Cost & Pack Size: Additional record capacity is available as a permanent one-time purchase at $29 per pack of 5,000 records (available directly in your dashboard under Billing / Add-ons). You can purchase multiple packs (e.g., +10k, +50k, +100k, up to 500k+ records) to expand your account capacity as your data scales.
Database Size & Media Storage: There is no arbitrary gigabyte (GB) disk cap on relational data. For applications that require file uploads, images, PDFs, or media, NoCodeBackend features native Cloudflare R2 Object Storage integration (available on Tier 2+). You can connect your own Cloudflare R2 bucket using your Cloudflare credentials, and NoCodeBackend provides direct file management APIs to store files in your bucket with zero egress fees.

2. Do record limits count all rows across all tables combined?

Ans: Yes. Record limits apply per database and count the total number of rows across all custom tables you create in that database.

3. What happens when the record limit is reached?

Ans: New Inserts Are Paused: Only new record creations (POST / INSERT) are stopped with an alert notification.
Reads, Updates & Deletes Remain 100% Functional: All read queries (GET), updates to existing records (PUT / PATCH), and record deletions (DELETE) remain completely functional. Your live application will not crash or lose access to existing data.
Instant Resumption: Deleting old/unused records or purchasing additional record capacity immediately restores write operations.

4. What are the API/rate, bandwidth and total DB storage (GB) limits?

Ans: API / Rate Limits: Production APIs run on high-performance infrastructure with edge DDoS protection and fair-use rate limiting designed to comfortably handle high-concurrency production web and mobile apps.
Bandwidth: There are no bandwidth metering charges or data transfer fees for API requests.
Storage (GB): Capacity is managed by record count rather than restrictive GB disk caps, with file assets offloaded to Cloudflare R2.

5. Are there limits/fees based on registered users, monthly active users (MAU) or auth requests?

Ans: Zero MAU Fees on the Current Lifetime Deal: For users purchasing under this campaign, there are no Monthly Active User (MAU) fees, no registered user charges, and no auth request limits.
Your web and mobile apps can have unlimited end-users authenticating via Email/Password, OAuth (Google, GitHub, etc.), or Magic Links without per-user licensing fees.
(Note: While future new appsumo campaigns down the road might introduce separate MAU packages, your current lifetime deal purchase is locked into its lifetime terms with zero MAU surcharges).

6. If an app grows to tens of thousands of users and exceeds LTD limits, what is the upgrade/cost path?

Ans: NoCodeBackend offers several straightforward scaling paths:

Record Add-ons: Permanently add record packs at $29 per 5,000 records (one-time purchase).
Database Add-ons: Permanently add more databases at $49 per pack of 3 databases (one-time purchase).
Other Add-ons: Additional AI calls ($49 / 100 calls) and Prehooks ($29 / 5 hooks).

7. Are the LTD's core features and purchased capacities guaranteed without requiring a future subscription?

Ans: Yes, 100% Guaranteed.
All core features (Instant REST APIs, Database Management, User Auth, Pre-Hooks, Webhooks, AI Schema Generator, Custom Domains, Swagger/OpenAPI, RLS Security Policies) and all purchased tier/add-on limits are permanent lifetime entitlements.
There are no required recurring subscriptions or maintenance fees to keep your databases, APIs, and add-ons running.
