We started using Supabase while building our internal document management system for our startup. Think of it like a private GitHub, but for company documents where only admins can upload or edit files and everyone else has view access based on their role.

The biggest reason I like Supabase is that it let us build everything in one place. We ended up using pretty much all of its core features, from Auth and the PostgreSQL database to Storage and Row Level Security. Setting up authentication and permissions was way easier than I expected, and once we understood how RLS worked, managing different access levels became pretty straightforward.

Another thing that stood out was the pricing. As a small startup, we didn't want to spend a lot just to get a reliable backend running. Supabase gave us everything we needed without making us worry about infrastructure or database management, which let our team focus on building the actual product instead.

Our development team had five people working on it, and now around 8–12 people in the company use the system daily with different permission levels. So far it's been stable, easy to maintain, and honestly one of those tools that just stays out of your way and lets you build. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall, I haven't had any major issues with Supabase, but there are a couple of things that could be better.

The AI features and developer experience around them still feel like they're evolving. Since we're building more AI-powered internal tools now, I'd love to see tighter built-in integrations and workflows instead of having to connect multiple external services ourselves.

The onboarding is good if you already have some backend experience, but features like Row Level Security and writing access policies took us a while to fully understand. Better interactive guides or more real-world examples for common startup use cases would make the learning curve much smoother.

Support has been fine for us, but when you're on the lower-tier plans, getting quick answers isn't always possible. For a small team that's moving fast, even a little delay can slow things down. None of these are deal breakers, though—they're mostly things I'd like to see improved as the platform continues to grow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Supabase made it easy to spin up a full backend for a personal project splitting bills between roommates, without needing to manage a separate database server or write extensive backend code from scratch. The built-in PostgreSQL database combined with instant auto-generated APIs meant I could start reading and writing data almost immediately, and the authentication system handled user sign-up and login for roommates without needing to build that from scratch. Being open-source with a generous free tier made the ROI excellent for a side project with no budget, and the dashboard for managing tables and data made debugging straightforward without needing to write raw SQL for every check. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the more advanced Row Level Security policies took a bit of trial and error to configure correctly, especially when making sure roommates could only see their own expense data appropriately. Documentation covers common use cases well, but more niche configurations sometimes required digging through community forums or GitHub discussions to find clear answers. Free tier limits, like project pausing after inactivity, were occasionally inconvenient for a casually used side project that wasn't accessed daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the fact that Supabase is a SQL-based database, which makes it easy for me to query. The UI/UX is very simple, which I appreciate. They have lots of integrations with different products, which adds to its utility for me. Supabase is open source and free, with a very good free tier, which allows me to use it for most of my client apps without additional costs. It's quite easy to use, particularly since it integrates directly with FlutterFlow, and the initial setup was straightforward because it was just an API token-based integration.

I think Supabase should focus more on the analytics part where I can query the data and create analytical dashboards then and there. This would increase the utility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Supabase is that it gives you a real Postgres database with authentication, realtime, storage, and edge functions all in one place—without hiding the SQL underneath. You still keep full control through triggers, row-level security, and policies, so you’re never locked out of how things actually work. It also made it easy to ship features quickly, like handling secure user creation with an edge function instead of having to stand up a whole separate backend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike most is that security depends almost entirely on row-level security being configured correctly. The anon key is public by design, so if RLS policies are missing, incomplete, or misconfigured, your data can be exposed—and it’s easy to miss until it’s too late. I’d also appreciate clearer guardrails and more explicit warnings around this, along with a smoother, more straightforward way to manage environment secrets and multi-environment setups (dev/staging/prod).

Supabase has been the backbone of an internal lead-automation tool I built for our sales ops team. The combination of a Postgres database with instant REST/RLS-backed APIs meant I could ship features fast without hand-rolling a backend — row-level security policies made it easy to control per-row delete permissions, and the auto-generated APIs saved significant dev time. Real-time capabilities also made it simple to show live progress tracking to end users without building a separate websocket layer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Environment variable naming can get error-prone during deployment — small typos in variable names (especially copy-pasting between the Supabase dashboard and Vercel) have occasionally cost debugging time. A more guided setup flow for connecting env vars to hosting platforms like Vercel would help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Supabase is that it gives me most of the backend pieces I need in one place. Setting up a database, authentication, storage, and APIs is pretty straightforward, and I don't have to manage each services separately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main thing I dislike is that some parts can take a little time to understand when you're getting started. There are quite a few features and setting, so it can feel a bit overwhelming at first, especially when you haven't used supabase before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is an amazing backend AI software. It didn’t even take many minutes to set up my backend, and I like knowing I can still scale it or customize things later as the product grows. I’ve also integrated it with Lovable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I stuck with Supabase because it’s not that expensive. It includes backups and the usual maintenance, and the database is always up and running. I don’t pay based on usage; I pay a fixed price and get what I expect. I don’t have the time to manage my own setup, and it’s not needed for me. I’m super happy with them.

Getting a real Postgres database up and running, with auth and auto-generated APIs, takes minutes instead of days. I don’t have to stitch together separate services for login, storage, and the database—it’s all managed in one dashboard, and the realtime subscriptions work right out of the box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Edge Functions can have noticeable cold start delays, which is annoying for anything latency-sensitive. Documentation is solid for the basics but thins out fast once you're doing more advanced Postgres work like custom triggers or row-level security edge cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Supabase is how quickly it lets you go from an idea to a production-ready application. Having PostgreSQL, authentication, storage, real-time features, edge functions, and a clean API all in one platform eliminates a lot of the infrastructure work that usually slows development down.

The developer experience is excellent—the documentation is clear, the dashboard is intuitive, and integrating it with modern frameworks is straightforward. I also appreciate that it’s built on open-source technologies, so you’re not locked into a proprietary ecosystem.

Overall, Supabase has significantly reduced development time for my projects while providing a reliable, scalable backend that’s easy to manage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While my overall experience has been very positive, there are a few areas that could improve. Some advanced features still require digging through the documentation or community discussions, and debugging database policies (especially Row Level Security) can have a steeper learning curve than expected.

As projects become more complex, I’d also like to see even more built-in monitoring, performance insights, and administrative tools. That said, Supabase is evolving quickly, and many of these areas continue to improve with each release. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
