Vue d'ensemble des tarifs de Supabase

Supabase propose un backend-as-a-service open source basé sur PostgreSQL, positionné comme une alternative conviviale pour les développeurs à Firebase.

Ce que j'aime :

• Base de données PostgreSQL dédiée pour chaque projet, prenant en charge les données relationnelles et le SQL avancé.

• APIs RESTful et GraphQL générées automatiquement en fonction du schéma de la base de données.

• Abonnements en temps réel pour les mises à jour de données en direct via websockets.

• Authentification intégrée avec prise en charge de l'email, OAuth, des liens magiques et JWT.

• API de stockage de fichiers intégrée avec les permissions de la base de données.

• Fonctions edge serverless pour la logique backend personnalisée.

• Prise en charge des extensions PostgreSQL, y compris la recherche en texte intégral et vectorielle.

• Code source ouvert avec des options d'auto-hébergement.

• Tableau de bord intuitif et bibliothèques clientes multilingues. Avis collecté par et hébergé sur G2.com.

La mise à l'échelle des charges de travail à forte écriture ou en temps réel peut nécessiter un réglage supplémentaire et le système de sauvegarde n'inclut pas les données de fichiers réelles, uniquement les métadonnées. Avis collecté par et hébergé sur G2.com.

Honestly, the biggest thing for us is Postgres as the source of truth, with RLS doing most of the auth work. We ship a React Native app on Expo, and instead of building a separate API layer plus auth middleware, row-level security policies handle about 90% of access control directly in the database. When we add a new table, we write the policy once and the client can query it via the JS SDK—no controllers, no DTOs, and no glue code.

Phone OTP auth was the other huge win. We’re India-first and phone-first, and Supabase Auth ships with phone OTP out of the box. You plug in an SMS provider and you’re basically done. It probably saved us around two weeks of building and maintaining our own auth flow.

The dashboard SQL editor sounds boring, but I use it 10x a day. When something looks off in prod, I open the editor, run a query, and fix a row. No SSH tunnel and no separate admin panel. Saved queries and history are genuinely useful when you’re debugging the same data shapes over and over.

Edge Functions in Deno have been great for webhook handlers and cron jobs. supabase functions serve gives you real local-to-prod parity, so the dev loop stays fast. And the local CLI stack (Postgres + Studio in Docker) means we never have to touch prod data while testing schema changes.

Pricing is the kicker: Postgres + auth + storage + edge functions on the Pro plan costs less than Firebase alone would for our usage. Avis collecté par et hébergé sur G2.com.

After running this in production, I’ve hit a few real pain points.

Cold starts on Edge Functions are noticeable. The first invocation after idle can take 800ms–1.5s, which is rough for user-facing endpoints. We’ve ended up keeping functions warm with a cron, but that feels more like a workaround than a real solution. The dashboard performance also drops once a table gets past a few hundred thousand rows. On our largest table, opening the table editor is sluggish enough that I usually switch to the SQL editor instead.

Support on the free/Pro tier is limited to community Discord and GitHub Discussions. That’s fine for general questions, but it’s slow when you run into something blocking in prod. Paid support is gated behind the Team plan, which is a steep jump from Pro. We’ve had a couple of incidents where I would’ve happily paid per incident for a direct response.

The Supabase AI assistant in Studio is hit-or-miss. For SQL, it’s decent for simple queries, but it hallucinates surprisingly often on schema-aware questions, suggesting columns or joins that don’t exist in our schema. In practice, Cursor + the Supabase MCP has been more useful day to day than the in-dashboard assistant.

The migrations workflow has rough edges too. The db diff sometimes generates noisy diffs that include things you didn’t change (like default value reformats or trigger reorderings), so you end up hand-editing migration files more than you should. Avis collecté par et hébergé sur G2.com.
