Firebase Pricing - How Much Does Firebase Cost in 2024?
In this article, we will discuss Firebase pricing plans, limits, and exact pricing in $USD for each service under these plans.
Firebase Free (Spark) Plan
The Spark Plan is a completely free tier that offers a generous amount of resources to help you kick-start your app development journey. Ideal for developers who are just starting out or testing their applications, the Spark Plan provides access to several Firebase services with usage limits. Here's a summary of the main features and limits of the Spark Plan:
Realtime Database
1 GB of storage
100 simultaneous connections
10 GB/month data transfer (download)
Firestore
1 GiB of storage
50,000 reads per day
20,000 writes per day
20,000 deletes per day
Cloud Functions
125,000 invocations/month
40,000 GB-seconds/month
40,000 CPU-seconds/month
5 GB/month of outbound network data
Authentication
10,000 verifications/month for phone authentication
Unlimited for other authentication methods
Hosting
1 GB storage
10 GB/month data transfer (download)

20,000 upload operations/month
50,000 download operations/month
