Scalable plans that
grow with you

Xano provides base CPU and memory that increases with each plan tier. If you require more than what’s included in the Essential plan, our Pro plan unlocks more CPU and Autoscale protection. This allows you to handle higher workloads without changing your application or architecture.

The CPU add-on also includes Autoscale Protection, which helps absorb short-term traffic spikes. For applications with sustained or unpredictable compute needs beyond these options, the Custom plan supports higher and more flexible scaling configurations.

Yes. Xano is built on cloud-native infrastructure and is designed to scale as your application grows. It runs on managed infrastructure with a PostgreSQL-based database that supports both vertical and horizontal scaling, depending on your workload and plan.

As demand increases, scaling is handled through plan-level resources and optional CPU add-ons, rather than requiring you to manage servers or DevOps tooling. This allows teams to increase capacity without re-architecting their backend or managing infrastructure directly.

Yes. You can export your database data directly from your Xano workspace using built-in export tools, with support for CSV and YAML formats. This allows you to retrieve your data at any time for backup, analysis, or migration purposes.

Depending on your plan, you may also have access to direct database connections, which enable programmatic or external access to your data using standard database tools.

You own your data. You retain full ownership of your data stored in Xano, including any data generated by your application or uploaded by your users, subject to your own agreements and policies. Xano does not claim ownership of customer data and processes it only to provide and operate the service.

Xano doesn’t build your application’s UI (pages, components, layouts, styling). What it does provide is the hosted backend—database, APIs, authentication/business logic, background tasks, and integrations—that your frontend connects to. You can use any frontend approach (custom code, low-code/no-code builders, mobile frameworks, etc.) and call your Xano APIs from there.

To make that connection straightforward, Xano can generate OpenAPI (Swagger) documentation for your APIs, which many frontend tools and IDEs can use to auto-generate clients/SDKs, import endpoints, or validate requests. Xano can also support static hosting for pre-built frontend assets.

Yes, you can migrate to Xano from another BaaS provider. Application data can be imported using built-in import tools (such as CSV or API-based imports). Xano also provides integrations and automations to help streamline the process of migrating from another BaaS provider.

Xano does not offer custom backend development services directly. However, Xano maintains a partner network of experienced agencies and developers who specialize in building backends on Xano.

Yes. Self-hosting Xano in your own cloud environment or on-premises is available on Custom plans. This option is typically used by organizations with specific security, compliance, or infrastructure requirements and is arranged directly with the Xano team.

Yes. Rate limiting applies to the Free plan. Essential plans and above are not subject to platform-enforced rate limits.

Yes. You can upgrade your plan at any time, and changes take effect immediately. Downgrades are also supported and typically take effect at the start of the next billing cycle. This allows you to scale your plan up or down as your application's needs change.

Yes. Xano is designed to work with a wide range of no-code and low-code frontend tools. Because Xano exposes standard REST APIs, it can connect to any frontend platform that supports HTTP requests.

Xano also provides OpenAPI (Swagger) documentation, which many frontend tools can import to automatically configure endpoints and data models. A list of commonly used integrations is available on the Connect page.
