Continue to About ↓- What it does
- Supabase is a hosted Postgres development platform: every project includes a full, portable Postgres database with optional integrated Authentication, Storage, Realtime, Edge Functions, vector embeddings, auto-generated REST and GraphQL APIs, Cron and Queues.
More detail
- It is built in the open and can also be self-hosted or run locally, so teams avoid lock-in while using one backend instead of stitching vendors together.
- Best for
- Developers, startups, AI app builders and enterprise teams that want a managed Postgres backend with auth, storage, realtime and edge functions integrated, and that can absorb usage-based overages.
- Pricing
- Organization billing: a plan subscription plus per-project compute billed hourly.
More detail
- Free is $0/mo with unlimited API requests, 50,000 MAU, 500 MB database, 1 GB file storage and 5 GB egress, but projects pause after 1 week of inactivity and only 2 active projects are allowed.
- Pro starts at $25/mo (fir
- Main limitation
- Buyers who need only a database at near-zero cost, or whose free-tier workloads are intermittent: the cheapest paid database path is $25/mo and Free projects pause after 7 days of inactivity with a 2-project cap.

About
- Supabase is a hosted Postgres development platform: every project includes a full, portable Postgres database with optional integrated Authentication, Storage, Realtime, Edge Functions, vector embeddings, auto-generated REST and GraphQL APIs, Cron and Queues.
- It is built in the open and can also be self-hosted or run locally, so teams avoid lock-in while using one backend instead of stitching vendors together.
What it helps with
- Needing a production-grade relational database without managing infrastructure
- Wanting auth, file storage, realtime sync and serverless functions from one integrated backend instead of several vendor
- Hand-writing CRUD endpoints instead of using auto-generated REST and GraphQL APIs
- Avoiding vendor lock-in while keeping a managed backend
- Adding user sign-ups and logins with Row Level Security-based authorization
- Storing and serving media files, including image transformations, alongside the database
- Building realtime and multiplayer-style data sync experiences
- Met needs for compliance such as SOC 2, ISO 27001 and HIPAA (with a BAA)
