Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What changed in Firebase's pricing and plan limits in this update? Firebase removed concurrent connection caps for Candle plan and above, defaulting to a 10,000 simultaneous connection limit per app (raisable on request with 24 hours notice). The free tier doubled to 100 concurrent users, 10 GB database bandwidth, and 1 GB database storage. A new $5/month Spark plan added custom domains without requiring a Candle upgrade, and paid plans saw resource limits increased up to 300% with lower overage fees. _Developers tracking pricing and plan changes for backend platforms like Firebase can follow updates like this on daily.dev._ ### How many simultaneous connections can a single Firebase app have by default? A single Firebase app is limited to 10,000 simultaneous connections by default, which is generally sufficient for applications with at least 100,000 daily active users. Firebase can scale beyond that limit, and users can contact support to permanently raise the cap with 24 hours notice. _Anyone scaling a Firebase-backed app can keep tabs on infrastructure limits like this via daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Medium](https://daily.dev/posts/medium-jvobby0wg) · Medium · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Introducing Firebase spend caps](https://daily.dev/posts/introducing-firebase-spend-caps-iygfnrfcv) · Firebase · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [AWS Introduces Flat-Rate Pricing to Eliminate Cloud Cost Overages](https://daily.dev/posts/aws-introduces-flat-rate-pricing-to-eliminate-cloud-cost-overages-vverqenlv) · InfoQ · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [No more QPS limits on Developer Plans](https://daily.dev/posts/no-more-qps-limits-on-developer-plans-genb9im5w) · Tinybird · 5 upvotes · 0 comments - [Unlimited Vercel Blob stores on every plan](https://daily.dev/posts/unlimited-vercel-blob-stores-on-every-plan-ovvzzf0i0) · Vercel · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#backend](https://daily.dev/tags/backend), [#firebase](https://daily.dev/tags/firebase) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/announcing-lower-simpler-pricing-m5ombgppj) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Announcing Lower, Simpler Pricing","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/announcing-lower-simpler-pricing-m5ombgppj","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/announcing-lower-simpler-pricing-m5ombgppj"},"datePublished":"2026-08-23T12:20:13.723Z","dateModified":"2026-08-23T12:32:23.234Z","description":"Firebase announced across-the-board price drops, including removing concurrent connection caps for Candle-tier plans and above (with a default 10,000...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/7ed721de96163685d26ab7e314be3ebc?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/7ed721de96163685d26ab7e314be3ebc?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Firebase","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Firebase","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--i395oqZH--/f_auto,q_auto/v1787487448/logos/firebase-blog?_a=BAMAMicg0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/firebase-blog"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/announcing-lower-simpler-pricing-m5ombgppj","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"backend,firebase","timeRequired":"PT2M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Firebase","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/firebase-blog"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Announcing Lower, Simpler Pricing"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/announcing-lower-simpler-pricing-m5ombgppj#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What changed in Firebase's pricing and plan limits in this update?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Firebase removed concurrent connection caps for Candle plan and above, defaulting to a 10,000 simultaneous connection limit per app (raisable on request with 24 hours notice).
