PocketBase
The Firebase and Supabase alternative
From $5 / month · billed monthly · cancel anytime
PocketBase packs a backend into one binary: an embedded SQLite database, REST API, email/password and OAuth2 authentication, realtime subscriptions over SSE, file storage, and an admin dashboard. Build web or mobile apps with the JavaScript or Dart SDKs, then define collections from the dashboard. Your admin account is created when the instance starts, so you can sign in and get to work.

Frequently asked
- How much does it cost to host PocketBase?
- Hosting PocketBase on Zenith is $5 / month, billed monthly until you cancel.
- How long does PocketBase take to deploy?
- Most apps are live on your own subdomain in about two minutes after you deploy.
- Do I need to manage a server to run PocketBase?
- No. Zenith runs PocketBase for you, with no servers to provision or maintain.
- Can I use my own domain with PocketBase?
- Yes. Each deployment gets a Zenith subdomain, and you can map your own custom domain to it afterwards.
- Can I deploy PocketBase with Claude or another AI agent?
- Yes. Zenith has a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server at https://zenith.hosting/mcp. Add the endpoint from Claude, Cursor or another MCP client, connect your account, and ask the agent to deploy PocketBase. Each paid deployment still requires your cost approval. Setup is at https://zenith.hosting/connect.
