Hello,
I’m trying to build a website using Anvil with monthly subscription.
However, I still do not understand the policy behind Anvil.
So after building the website, I will run it on my host server. Then, maybe later after two years , I will modify or improve the website but without using Anvil.
The question here :
Should I keep subscribe to Anvil paying monthly fees after finish my website?
If I cancel the subscription, will ads return to the website, and will I be unable to modify my website outside the Anvil platform?
Thanks
Once you’ve built your app using Anvil’s online IDE and deployed it to your own server, there will be no ads and you’ll have full control over the files. If you cancel your Anvil subscription, you can still use the Anvil IDE to edit and run your app under the free plan—however, it will come with some limitations: fewer resources, slower performance, and an ad banner will appear on your app.
The ad banner only appears when the app is run from Anvil’s servers. If you download the source code and run it on your own server, there will be no ads, regardless of your subscription status.
You can also edit the source code outside of Anvil using any text editor or IDE like PyCharm or VS Code. Editing forms is easier within the Anvil IDE, but for Python code, there’s no meaningful difference.
