You can find our pricing here https://thin.dev/pricing If you're not using the free plan, you're paying 10$ + (2$ * GB of data traffic). This is likely a bit cheaper than Firebase (but Firebase has many more pricing variables, so it's non trivial to compare) :)

I think you have to specify the use case.

I have an app that I built which has a couple hundred users. I pay just a couple dollars per month to use firebase firestore, authentication, cloud functions, storage, analytics, and crashlytics.

I’m sure thin.dev is very cool and I’m excited to check it out but I expect in the distribution of possible use cases, thin pricing is cheaper than firestore or real-time database in a vanishingly small number of them.

Thanks for your honest feedback.

Our pricing still might change a bit in the future. I'm with you that with a couple hundred users it shouldn't cost more than 5-10$ to host this app.

The Thin Pro plan already includes 5GB for free, so we might increase these 5GB to a bit more.
