For agencies

Ten client apps. One $20 compute. Margin intact.

Stop multiplying subscriptions per client. Host the portfolio on dedicated computes at a flat price, share whole projects with developers, and hand over backups — not mysteries.

Consolidate client hosting Read the docs

One compute · many clients

The agency math

10 client apps (Pro): $20/mo
10 apps × per-project vendors: ~$100+/mo
Extra seats for developers: None
Per-request overages: None

Compare ~$115/mo for ten Supabase projects or per-site WordPress fees. PBC Pro pays for the compute, not per project.

How client work runs

A project per client, a team per project

Share the project

Organizations

Create an organization, share whole client projects with developers. No invite-accept dance; access is immediate.

Ship frontend + backend + DB

pbc deploy

Static frontends, PocketBase APIs and Node/Deno/Bun backends live together with per-resource logs and metrics.

Hand over or retain

pb_data.zip

Custom domains per resource with auto-SSL. Exit is a stock backup zip plus DNS change — write it into the SOW.

Why agencies consolidate here

Margin you can forecast

Flat compute pricing per region. Adding client #11 does not renegotiate the hosting line.

Client isolation without chaos

Each client gets its own project, containers and SQLite files — rootless Podman, separate system users, per-resource credentials.

Logs and metrics per resource

Real-time log streaming and CPU/memory/disk graphs on Pro. Debug client incidents without SSH.

Security posture you can quote

HTTPS everywhere, encrypted env vars, listed subprocessors. And stated plainly: no SOC 2 / BAA yet.

Honest fit check

Good fit

Portfolios of SMB client apps, portals, bookings, internal tools
Teams that want one vendor, one CLI and CI deploys per client
Fixed-bid work where variable hosting would eat margin

Not the fit

Enterprise procurement requiring SOC 2, ISO 27001, BAA or 24/7 SLA
Per-push preview URLs and global edge — keep Vercel for those frontends
