SIDEPERK · TYLER’S TOOL NOTES

Building and hosting an app

Builder costs alongside the database, hosting and ongoing operation.

Builder tokens or credits are not comparable units. Model use, domains, authentication, hosting, backups and maintenance can remain additional costs after a prototype is built.

These entries include alternatives. The stack uses only the options you add.
