The short answer
The registry records Appwrite as a possible interpretation of APPWRITE CHARGE. This descriptor-to-company association has not passed claim-level evidence review. Compare the exact line, amount and posted status with your own receipt or account activity; the name alone cannot confirm the merchant or whether you authorized the payment.
The notes below are unreviewed registry explanations, not confirmation of merchant identity, authorization or current policy. Claim-level source review is pending for this entry.
Why am I being charged by Appwrite?
Unreviewed registry note: An entry showing APPWRITE CHARGE on your bank or credit card statement is an authentic bill from Appwrite for backend cloud hosting services. Appwrite provides a managed backend-as-a-service platform that software developers use to manage user authentication, databases, serverless functions, and file storage for mobile or web applications.
Unreviewed registry note: This charge appears each month based on your selected organization tier, such as the Pro plan starting around $15 per month, plus any metered resource usage that exceeded base allowances. Common triggers include active projects hosting live user data, outbound bandwidth consumption, storage overages, or team member seat fees. Many developers set up an Appwrite Cloud project for a trial build or hackathon, attach a credit card, and forget to pause or delete the hosted resources after testing finishes.
Unreviewed registry note: To investigate this cost, log into your cloud console at appwrite.io and select your organization settings to open the billing dashboard. The billing section itemizes monthly fees and displays project-level breakdown charts for storage, bandwidth, and function execution. If you or your engineering team no longer run apps on the platform, delete unused projects or delete the organization to end recurring charges. You can also reach out through support on appwrite.io to ask questions about unexpected usage charges.

How to stop Appwrite billing
Unreviewed registry note: To prevent future charges, you must shut down all active cloud projects and downgrade your organization plan. Merely logging out of your console without deleting hosted databases or functions leaves cloud infrastructure running, which generates ongoing resource fees.
Unreviewed registry note: Review the organization billing tab to pinpoint which specific service incurred fees on your latest invoice. Once you remove all paid services or scale down to free tier limits, future invoices will reflect a zero balance. Check your saved payment methods to confirm recurring auto-debit permissions are disabled.
What happens if I delete my account?
Unreviewed registry note: Deleting the account stops new usage, but you may still be responsible for charges incurred prior to the deletion date.
Is there a free tier available?
Unreviewed registry note: Many providers offer a free tier, but only for specific services within strict usage limits. Check the pricing page.
