FAQs

How much does it cost?

FAQ dropdown icon

Core Engine functionality is free forever.

Upgrade to pro for $19/month to access more capable models, lift usage caps, and export your code.

How extensible is it? Can I leave?

FAQ dropdown icon

Your Engine project is built around a managed SQL database. If you like, you can connect directly to this database and do whatever you want with it.

Your API code lives in your own GitHub account (pro plan only) so you can easily make any changes you like or deploy it with another service.

What can I build with Engine?

FAQ dropdown icon

Anything you could normally build with code. You have direct access to a managed database and total control over your backend code and database migrations in GitHub (pro plan only).

For even the most complex projects, it usually makes sense to let Engine handle the majority of your stack.

Can I use Engine on my existing stack?
