Convex Pricing
Convex · Developer & Infrastructure
Reactive backend platform positioned as the alternative to Firebase for TypeScript developers who want end-to-end type safety + real-time subscriptions without configuring WebSockets. Distinctive per-developer pricing ($25/dev/mo Professional) instead of usage-based — predictable bills regardless of data volume or query count. Free tier is generous for solo projects. Popular with venture-backed startups building interactive AI/collaboration apps.
In other words, Convex is the reactive backend-as-a-service for developers who want real-time database + serverless functions + file storage — all with TypeScript type safety end-to-end. Free tier covers development and small production apps; Starter (free with usage-based overages) removes hard caps; Professional adds team features. Very easy for React/Next.js developers; steeper for teams new to reactive paradigms. Native integrations with modern JS stack (Next.js, React Native, Vercel). Downside: smaller ecosystem than Supabase/Firebase, and vendor lock-in on the reactive query pattern.
