Common questions about Biscuit. The docs cover features in depth.

​
About Biscuit

Biscuit is an all-in-one platform that builds, tests, ships, and runs your website or app. You describe what you want, and Biscuit builds it with payments, emails, database, hosting, security, and operations included.Biscuit is:
  • Scalable: your app runs on infrastructure designed to scale to millions of users.
  • Secure by default: every table and row starts with clear rules for who can see or change it, shown in plain language so you don’t need to read code.
  • Fast & maintainable: every layer, from the app to the infrastructure, was designed for this platform. That lets Biscuit trace how your app works, improve it, and fix issues without sending you in circles.
You can go from idea to something people can use and pay for without wiring together separate tools or touching code.
People inside a company who need a tool built and don’t want to wait for engineering time. It’s also for the apps you build for yourself or your household, like a fitness tracker or a shared notes tool. You describe what you need, and Biscuit builds it, ships it, and keeps it running. You don’t need to be a developer.

​
Getting started

No. You describe what you want in plain English, and Biscuit builds, tests, and ships the product for you. To make changes, keep chatting with Biscuit. You don’t need to touch code.
An idea and a Google account to sign in. You don’t need a credit card or any setup. You sign-up, complete the onboarding, describe your idea and build your app.
You can usually get a first version live in 30 minutes to a couple of hours, depending on the idea. You can keep prompting Biscuit to change your tools after launching them.

​
Building your app

Almost any website or web app, from a simple landing page to a full production app. Most of what people build falls into three groups:
  • Tools for your team: CRMs, trackers, dashboards, applicant trackers, and approval flows. These are the things that usually live in a spreadsheet or are spread across too many apps. Each team keeps its tools in its own space, with control over who can use or edit them.
  • Apps for your customers: client portals, booking apps, forms, and marketplaces. Publish them to the web on your own domain, with sign-in, email and payments built in.
  • Websites: landing pages, marketing sites, event pages, and signup or lead forms. Publish to the web on your own domain, with analytics built in, so you can see visitors, where they came from and what they click. Night Shift agent also reports how your pages show up in search.
Check our examples and get started.
Biscuit runs on a mix of Cloudflare, Google Cloud, and self-hosted VMs. Payments are built into the platform and use Stripe under the hood. AI features use models from Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI. You don’t need to manage any of this yourself.
Yes. Biscuit is built as an integrated platform from the ground up, which means your website or app is built on infrastructure designed to scale with it. Because Biscuit understands how every part of your project works, we can run the right pieces in the right place and keep them reliable as usage grows.We’ve scaled products to millions of users before: Ives van Hoorne as co-founder of CodeSandbox, and Andreas Blixt as VP of Engineering at Framer. We built Biscuit to bring that kind of infrastructure to teams who don’t have it.
Every night, Biscuit checks your app for errors and looks at signals like analytics, signups, and recent changes. It starts the small, low-risk fixes on its own and queues everything else as tasks you can accept or dismiss. You get a briefing on the app Overview plus an email, and nothing reaches your live app until you publish it.
No. Biscuit is built as a fully integrated platform from the ground up, so the code is tied to Biscuit’s infrastructure. You make changes by chatting with Biscuit, not by editing the code directly.

​
Your app and data

You own what you build on Biscuit: your apps, your data, and your content. Biscuit keeps the license needed to host and run your app on the platform.
We designed Biscuit with security in mind from the start. For all data in your app, Biscuit explicitly defines who can see it, who can change it, and under which conditions. Those rules are visible in the product, so you can understand and adjust access without reading code. We also run extra checks to help prevent accidental data leaks. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and Stripe handles payment data. Biscuit is also working toward a SOC 2 Type 2 report, with the audit scheduled to start in late September 2026. The controls in place and the audit’s progress are on the Biscuit Trust Center.
Apps built on Biscuit are cookieless. We count unique visitors using a daily-rotating IP and user-agent hash that can’t track anyone across days or sites. We honor Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control browser signals; when either is sent, we skip the visitor count entirely.
Personal data is deleted or anonymized within 30 days, and project data may be kept in backups for a limited period after that. Pending earnings payouts are reviewed and processed within 90 days, subject to identity verification and any pending disputes.
