thich7Q: 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 write across the same dataset. Splitting related data can also complicate relationships, queries, automation, and management.
Would it be more reasonable to apply the limit 50k - 250k records per table, or increase it to 1M–5M records per database? I understand the need for sustainable infrastructure, but compared with the 4–5M+ production databases you mentioned, these limits feel too restrictive and unfair to new users.

Sep 11, 2026A: 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 structures.
The new structure is designed to keep the lifetime deal sustainable while still providing generous capacity for individual users and smaller production applications. Therefore, the 50k–250k records-per-database limits are per database, not per table, and we won’t be changing them to 1M–5M records per database or applying them per table.
If you need more capacity for a production application, you can purchase additional record capacity through add-ons. For AppSumo users, these add-ons are currently available for a one-time fee, so you can increase your capacity without moving to a recurring subscription.
We understand that some applications will need significantly more capacity, but those use cases are outside what the new lifetime deal is intended to cover. The limits and structure are therefore intentional rather than a reflection of what the underlying infrastructure can technically support.
