Supabase

Supabase is an open-source Firebase alternative: Postgres, Auth, Storage, and Edge Functions as a BaaS. The homepage nav showed 108K GitHub stars; github.com/supabase/supabase had 108,083 stars, license Apache-2.0.

Compare PostgreSQL if you wanted the raw engine, Neon if you wanted another hosted Postgres, and Pinecone if you wanted a dedicated vector service.

Key Features

Shipped BaaS, not a preview: Live pricing includes file storage (Free 1 GB, Pro 100 GB then $0.0213/GB), Auth MAU, egress, and compute add-ons. Do not say Storage/Functions are unfinished.
Free has pause rules: Free is $0 with 50k MAU, 500 MB database, 5 GB egress, 1 GB file storage. Projects pause after 1 week of inactivity. Limit of 2 active projects.
Pro starts at $25: First project included, extra projects from $10/mo. Paid plans include $10/mo compute credits for one Micro instance.
Team is $599: SOC2 and ISO 27001, SSO, HIPAA add-on, longer backups. Enterprise is contact.

Use Cases

People who will stay on Free $0 and can live with pause-after-a-week.
People who will pay Pro $25 for a production project plus compute credits.
Teams that need Team $599 for SSO and longer retention.

Limitation: Compute sizes from Micro $10 to 16XL $3,730 are hourly add-ons. Confirm the calculator; do not treat $25 as unlimited Postgres.

If a leftover blog still says Storage is in development, treat this table as the source.

Getting Started

Open supabase.com/pricing and start on Free only if you accept the pause rule.
Confirm compute credits before you assume $25 includes a Large instance.
Confirm Neon if you wanted another hosted Postgres.
Do not paste "storage still in development" into a deck.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Storage and Functions still unfinished?

No. The live pricing table meters file storage and lists Edge/compute add-ons.

Is it still only $0?

Free exists. Production rows start at Pro $25.

Same as Pinecone?

No. Supabase is Postgres BaaS. Pinecone is a dedicated vector service.

Alternatives

PostgreSQL: The engine Supabase hosts.
Neon: Another hosted Postgres.
Pinecone: Managed vector DB, not a BaaS.

Tips

Quote Free $0 / Pro from $25 / Team from $599.
Call out the Free pause rule.
Confirm compute add-ons before you treat $25 as the whole bill.

Conclusion

Supabase is a priced Postgres BaaS with Free, Pro from $25, and Team from $599, not an unfinished Firebase clone. Start at supabase.com/pricing, then decide whether Neon already covers the database you need.
