What is the difference between the open source and paid versions?

How is Volca hosted?

How much does it cost to host a project using Volca?
With the default configuration, the AWS cost is around $12 per month for each environment (production, staging etc.) but it can increase if you have a large number of users.
Who built Volca?
Volca was built by Oskar and Karl, two full stack developers with a combined programming experience of 20 years. They have worked on everything from fast growing apps to huge enterprise systems and all of their learnings have been poured into the development of Volca.
Why did you build Volca?
After building software products for the last 10 years, we noticed that there is a huge startup time when building something from scratch. So we took all the components that we kept rebuilding for each project and put them into a single template that anyone can use to kick start their development.
What is a SaaS Boilerplate or Starter Kit?
A SaaS (software as a service) boilerplate or starter kit is a pre-built framework that provides a basic structure for developing a software as a service (SaaS) application. It typically includes common components and functionalities that are needed for building a SaaS application, such as user management, authentication, payment processing, and deployment tools. This allows developers to quickly and easily create a SaaS application without having to start from scratch. By using a SaaS boilerplate, developers can save time and resources, and focus on building the unique features and functionality of their SaaS application.
