Fix title capitalization typo.
Use when should you use it? (lowercase “it”) for correct title casing.

| **Firebase** operates on a two-tier model: the **Spark (no-cost) plan** for getting started with no payment method required, and the **Blaze (pay-as-you-go) plan** which comes with $300 in free credit. The catch is that Blaze pricing scales across reads, writes, storage, bandwidth, and Cloud Functions invocations separately, making costs genuinely difficult to forecast as usage grows. Teams that hit scale without careful monitoring have been caught off guard by Firebase bills. | ||
|
|
||
| **Supabase** positions itself around predictable, flat-rate tiers. The **Free plan** ($0/month) supports 50K monthly active users, 500MB database storage, and 5GB egress, suitable for side projects and prototypes. The **Pro plan** starts at **$25/month**, covering 100K MAUs, 8GB disk, and 250GB egress with clear overage rates. For teams needing SOC2, HIPAA, SSO, and 14-day backups, the **Team plan** starts at **$599/month**. Enterprise pricing is custom. | ||
|
|
||
| **Appwrite** mirrors Supabase's entry pricing with a **Free plan** ($0/month) offering 75K MAUs, 5GB bandwidth, 2GB storage, and 750K function executions. The **Pro plan** starts at **$25/month** and significantly increases limits, covering 200K MAUs, 2TB bandwidth, 150GB storage, and 3.5M executions, along with organization roles and daily backups. **Enterprise** is custom, adding SOC-2, HIPAA, SSO, and bring-your-own-cloud options. | ||

Add source links or an “as of” note for pricing claims.
These plan limits/prices are volatile; without source attribution or an explicit “as of March 30, 2026” note, this section can become stale quickly.

Greptile SummaryThis PR adds three new marketing blog posts (hackathon guide, BaaS explainer, and a Firebase/Supabase/Appwrite comparison) along with their cover images and cache entries. The posts are well-structured, use the correct frontmatter conventions, and reference valid author/category identifiers already in the codebase. Issues found:
Confidence Score: 3/5Safe to merge after addressing the pricing table accuracy issue, which would immediately become incorrect once the Scale plan launches. Two of the three issues are minor (a typo and off-topic copy), but the Appwrite Scale plan being listed as "Not available" in a comparison post is a factual inaccuracy that is directly contradicted by code already in the repo. Publishing this could mislead readers and require a quick follow-up correction the moment the Scale plan goes live. src/routes/blog/post/supabase-vs-firebase-vs-appwrite-choosing-the-right-backend-in-2026/+page.markdoc (pricing table accuracy) and src/routes/blog/post/baas-backend-as-a-service-explained-when-should-you-use-it/+page.markdoc (title typo) Important Files Changed

The word It is unexpectedly capitalized in the title. Since this is mid-sentence after a colon, it should be lowercase it to be grammatically consistent.

The pricing table marks Appwrite's Team/Scale tier as Not available, but the codebase (src/routes/pricing/+page.svelte and compare-plans.svelte) already defines a scale plan with detailed pricing, gated behind a SHOW_SCALE_PLAN feature flag. Once that flag is enabled and the Scale plan is publicly released, this comparison table will be immediately inaccurate and potentially misleading to readers. Consider replacing Not available with a note such as See appwrite.io/pricing or the actual plan price, so the blog post doesn't become stale the moment the plan launches.

Lines 128–130 describe the Appwrite open-source contribution workflow (pull request approvals, contribution guide), which is about contributing to Appwrite — not about using Appwrite to build a hackathon project. This content feels out of place in a post targeting hackathon participants, and could confuse readers who are trying to understand how to use the platform. Consider removing these lines or replacing them with content about how the open-source nature helps hackathon teams (e.g., full access to source code, self-hosting options, no paywalled features).
Note: If this suggestion doesn't match your team's coding style, reply to this and let me know. I'll remember it for next time!

Which guide are we talking about?

|
||
| 1. Create an Appwrite project | ||
| 2. Add authentication for user accounts | ||
| 3. Create database collections for application data |

We use tables, not collections

| # Why Hackathon Teams Choose Appwrite |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
There's some weird ordering here
Was this written with Surfer?
Also, case in headings needs to be fixed
|
|
||
| The BaaS market reflects this demand. It's projected to grow to $22 billion by 2032, driven by the continued push for faster development cycles and cloud-based scalability. | ||

| # When BaaS is the right choice |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
We need to make an enterprise case as well
| # When BaaS might not be the right fit | ||
|
|
||
| BaaS is powerful, but it's not the right answer for every use case. Teams with the following requirements may need more control than a standard BaaS platform offers: | ||
|
|
||
| - **Complex compliance requirements:** industries with strict data residency or regulatory constraints (healthcare, fintech) may need custom infrastructure | ||
| - **Specialized database performance:** high-scale systems with complex query optimization needs | ||
| - **Deeply custom architectures:** applications with unique microservices patterns that don't map to BaaS conventions | ||
| - **Extreme scale:** workloads that require fine-tuned infrastructure management at the infrastructure level | ||
|
|
||
| That said, this line has shifted significantly. Modern BaaS platforms, particularly open-source ones, now support self-hosted deployments, giving teams full infrastructure control while still benefiting from pre-built backend features. |

This may hurt our case
| # Common misconceptions about BaaS | ||
|
|
||
| **"BaaS is only for prototypes."** | ||
| Not anymore. Many production applications, including ones handling millions of users, run on BaaS platforms. Modern tools support scalable architectures, fine-grained permissions, and complex integrations. | ||
|
|
||
| **"You lose control of your backend."** | ||
| This was a fair criticism of early BaaS tools. Modern platforms provide serverless functions, custom logic, and extensive configuration options, and open-source platforms let you own the infrastructure entirely. | ||
|
|
||
| **"BaaS means vendor lock-in."** | ||
| It depends on the platform. Closed, proprietary BaaS solutions can create lock-in. But open-source BaaS platforms give teams the freedom to self-host, migrate, or extend the backend as needed. |

This feels wrongly ordered, should be before right/wrong fit sections
| With Appwrite, you get a complete backend foundation: | ||
|
|
||
| - Authentication with support for 30+ login methods | ||
| - Databases with real-time subscriptions and fine-grained permissions | ||
| - Cloud storage with file transformation support | ||
| - Serverless functions in any language | ||
| - Real-time APIs | ||
| - Role-based access control across every resource |

Can you separate this into a different PR?
