What is Chevereto Cloud?

How does it compare to self-hosted Chevereto?

Chevereto Cloud removes the need to maintain your own server and provides seamless updates, decoupled storage and built-in privacy. All the flexibility of self-hosted Chevereto without the hassle. See our comparison page for more information.

Is there a trial to test it?

Yes. Your first app starts with a 14-day free trial, activated through a secure checkout with Paddle. The trial applies to your first app only; additional apps are billed from checkout.

What happens when the trial ends?

Your subscription starts automatically and the plan you chose at checkout is charged to the payment method you provided. The trial end date is shown in your app’s Subscription section, where you can also change plan or start the subscription earlier. During the trial, usage is limited and custom domains require an active subscription.

How does billing work?

Each app is an independent subscription, billed monthly or yearly. Payments are processed by Paddle, our Merchant of Record. Prices exclude tax; applicable taxes such as VAT or GST are added by Paddle at checkout.

Can I change my plan?

Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade, and switch between monthly and yearly billing, at any time from your app’s Subscription section. Plan changes are prorated and billed immediately.

How do I get receipts and invoices?

A receipt is generated automatically for every payment, and your payment history is in the Orders section. For a formal invoice, open the order and follow its transaction link to the Paddle customer portal. See the billing docs for details.

What are the different user roles?

Each app supports three roles: User, who can upload content; Manager, who can manage all content; and Admin, who can manage all content and app settings. Your plan includes a set number of accounts, with a limited number of them assignable as Admin or Manager.

How much storage and traffic do I get?

Storage depends on your external provider. Platform plans include app-side usage quotas, while delivery costs depend on your connected storage and/or content delivery network (CDN).

Can I use my own S3 bucket or external storage?

Yes. Chevereto supports AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Wasabi, and other S3-compatible services. You get complete control over storage, delivery, and compliance.

What file types and media sizes are supported?

AVIF, JPG, JPEG, PNG, BMP, GIF, WEBP, MOV, MP4, WEBM. Size limits depend on your storage setup and plan.

Can I use my own domain?

Yes, you can use your own custom domain with automatic SSL included. We also provide a free chevereto.app subdomain to all accounts when creating an app.

How is privacy handled?

Chevereto Cloud follows a privacy-first model and remotely connects to your own storage. We don’t scan or process your media.

Who owns the uploaded content?

You own the uploaded content. Chevereto Cloud does not claim ownership or use your content in any way.

How do I cancel or delete my account and data?

You can cancel anytime. Your app keeps running until the end of the billing period you already paid for, and after that the app and its data on our systems are deleted. Your files stay in your own storage. To keep your app database, request an export before cancelling. Deleting your account removes all data from our systems.

Can I export my application data?

Yes, upon request. Contact us before cancelling and we will coordinate the export of your app database so you can self-host Chevereto anywhere else. We are also planning to add self-service data export in a future update.
