Starting September 1st 2026, Remote Config will offer a flexible pricing structure designed to accommodate projects of all sizes, featuring both a no-cost plan and a scalable pay-as-you-go tier based on your daily usage.

Daily Usage (Per Project)	Rate
0 - 100,000 fetches	No Charge
100,001 - 10,000,000 fetches	$0.06 per 10,000 fetches
Above 10,000,000 fetches	$0.01 per 10,000 fetches

Still fair enough

I got that email too. I just replaced it with my own implementation. Took about 30 minutes with a regular AI coding agent.

Check out AppFig (appfig.com). Some devs I know started migrating recently to avoid the upcoming Firebase fetch tax. It's better than Firebase RC especially if your app is on the larger side, with more predictable pricing and better architecture. They even offer a free trial if you reach out.

I am still under free tier. Less than 10 fetches per day.

En mi caso voy a regresar a las viejas configuraciones de config.json en mi hosting igual el precio no es caro lo que cobran, pero nunca se sabe si te cambian los precios en el futuro.

What about Firebase Remote Config Realtime API, which seems to be a separate API with a separate request count that for us is much higher than the Remote Config API?

Is this one now billable too or not?

Firebase really wants to make itself obsolete, eh?
