Supabase review

Supabase ranks first because it gives app developers the most complete backend for the least setup and money. Each project is a full Postgres database with authentication, file storage, edge functions, realtime and cron jobs around it, so you can model data in SQL and still call it from client libraries. The free plan is generous for a production-grade stack: unlimited API requests, 50,000 monthly active users, a 500 MB database, 5 GB of egress and 1 GB of file storage. Pro starts at $25 a month and raises the allowances to 100,000 MAUs, 8 GB of disk per project, 250 GB of egress and 100 GB of file storage, with $10 of monthly compute credits that cover one Micro instance. The limits are clear: free projects pause after a week of inactivity, extra projects add compute charges, and SOC 2, SSO and the HIPAA add-on sit on the Team plan at $599 a month. Because the core is Postgres, leaving later is simpler than with proprietary data stores.
