PocketBase
Free alternative to: Firebase
License: MIT
Free terms: Free MIT-licensed; single ~15MB executable, zero dependencies.
What it does
Single-executable Go backend with embedded SQLite, built-in auth, file storage, realtime subscriptions, and an admin dashboard.
Heads-up: License confirmed MIT (pocketbase/pocketbase). The README explicitly says you're free to offer it as a paid service. Mostly solo-maintained, so feature velocity is gated by the maintainer's roadmap — fine for the directory, worth one line of context.
Get it
The project lives with its maintainers — we don't distribute it and we can't provide support for it.
