FAQs

Where is my data stored when using Rowy?

Your data is stored on your own Firebase/Firestore database within your Google Cloud Platform project. Rowy does not store your data, ensuring you retain complete ownership and control, including choice of region for GDPR compliance.

What are the cloud costs associated with using Rowy?

Rowy itself has free and paid tiers, but you will incur costs on your own GCP project based on your usage of Firestore, Cloud Functions, and Cloud Run. Rowy is serverless, so there are no ongoing server costs directly from Rowy.

Can I self-host Rowy?

Yes, Rowy is open-source and can be self-hosted. This provides flexibility for users who prefer to manage their own infrastructure, alongside the cloud-hosted managed version.
