Val Town is winding down
Steve KrouseNov 10, 2026
Dear Val Town community,
We’ve made the difficult decision to wind down Val Town.
You took a big leap of faith to build on us. We thank you for your trust, and we’re sorry we can’t continue to serve you.
The bad news about our business – that we couldn’t compete in the cloud computing space – is good news for you migrating off: there are many wonderful hosting providers you can migrate to, and today’s LLMs are great at these types of migrations. We have guides for migrating to Cloudflare, Vercel, Netlify, and Render. Please reach out if you need help at support@val.town or on Discord.
We are pausing billing today, and will continue servicing existing subscriptions for free. If you pre-paid for our annual plan, we will issue you a partial refund.
Here’s the timeline on our wind-down:
ServiceEnd of life date
New signups and plan upgradesNov 10, 2026 (today)
Read-only mode (not including sqlite and blob storage)Dec 10, 2026

Thank you, the members of the Val Town team, for giving it your all over the past four years. Thank you Tom, Jackson, Charlie, Pete, Potluck, Charmaine, Max, Andre, Sophie, Wolf, Justin, Rodrigo and JP. It was an honor.
Thank you, Dan Levine, for being the best investor I could’ve asked for. Thank you, my other investors, for your trust, support, and capital.
Thank you, our customers and users, for building on us with passion and creativity.
Steve Krouse
