Supabase review

A free tier is available, so a project can be built before any spend. Paid plans start at $25, which sits below the site median of €5.83. Storage is charged separately, so a first bill usually carries more than the entry figure.

Storage is billed at $0.021, and that charge sits alongside the plan rather than inside it. A project holding a growing amount of data will feel it sooner than one that keeps usage light, so it belongs in a budget next to the plan fee.

The engine on offer is PostgreSQL, and that is the database the platform is built around. Teams committed to another engine will not find a second option here and would need a different provider. PostgreSQL-first shops get the shortest path from an existing schema to a hosted database.

Backups are taken daily under Daily backups stored for 7 days, so there is a recovery point for each day of that window. Recovery beyond that window is not part of what the retention covers. Teams with strict recovery requirements should plan their own copies before signing up.

Support runs on email, help centre and community, so an urgent issue goes through email rather than live chat. Teams that need a faster response should check what a paid plan adds before relying on support during an incident. Documentation and community answers cover the everyday cases.

Supabase starts at $25. RisingWave starts lower at $0.23, UCloud sits at $0.96 and Vultr is the highest of these at $2.50. On entry price alone, RisingWave is the cheapest of the alternatives, which matters for a first trial rather than a long contract.

The contracting entity is SUPABASE PTE. LTD., named in the service terms. That is the name procurement, legal and finance teams match against their own vendor records before signing. A team that needs a particular jurisdiction in the contract should confirm the entity matches its own policy.
