It's a real Postgres database, so I'm never boxed in. I can write proper queries when I need real answers, not just what a limited tool allows. Row-level security lets me scope access properly (I built a read-only role for our Metabase reporting layer, and separate scoped roles for different schemas) without maintaining a separate auth/permissions service. The dual-schema support has also been valuable for keeping staging and core data cleanly separated in one project rather than spinning up multiple databases. Combined with the dashboard for direct table/data inspection, it's made verifying data quality mid-build (checking a contractor's work against source data) fast instead of a multi-tool ordeal.

Some permission setups aren't obvious. Granting proper access for certain schemas took trial-and-error to get right. Row-level security rules also weren't straightforward to configure correctly the first time. Documentation could be clearer on these edge cases, so I ended up relying on testing things directly to confirm they actually worked. 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.

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.

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. 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.

The Supabase UX is excellent for someone who is relatively new to databases and user authentication management. It is also easy for me to integrate with AI agents and coding tools that simplify my workflows or enable faster debugging. For the price - it's one of the best values for database management as well. I don't have a tremendous amount of traffic to my app, but it handles the requests for 2FA and logins very smoothly. I haven't needed any support yet from the Supabase team, but the UI looks like it would be simple to set up a request when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far I haven't found anything I don't like. It's been relatively easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The table editor UI is awesome, it literally feels like using an online spreadsheet but automatically gives you working REST APIs for your tables. For college hardware projects where we hook up microcontrollers like the ESP8266 or ESP32 to log real-time data from various sensors, Supabase is an absolute lifesaver. The free tier is incredibly generous for students building prototypes. The best part is the real-time data streaming feature; we can see our live sensor logs updating on a web interface instantly without messing around with complicated web socket code from scratch.

The platform dashboard can take a long time to load properly if the college hostel Wi-Fi network is lagging. Also, while the documentation for JavaScript or web frameworks is solid, finding direct, official documentation or simple code examples for C++ or Arduino to push data directly from a microcontroller can be quite annoying. We usually have to rely on third-party GitHub libraries or write raw HTTP requests, which takes extra time to debug during tight project deadlines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Supabase is how easy it is to get started without a lot of setup. It combines a database, authentication, storage, and APIs in one place, which saves a lot of time during development. The dashboard feels clean and straightforward, the documentation is genuinely helpful, and overall it works really well for quickly building, testing, and iterating on applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I don’t like is that some of the more advanced features can take a bit of time to understand, especially if you’re new to the platform. The free tier also comes with a few limitations when you’re working on larger projects, and occasional delays when starting a project can interrupt development. Aside from those issues, my overall experience has been smooth and easy to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Supabase is how easy it is to get started. I was able to create a project in just a few minutes, and the dashboard is clean and simple to navigate. Managing the database, authentication, and storage from one place makes development much easier. I also like that it uses PostgreSQL, so working with the database feels familiar. The documentation is clear, which helped me understand features without spending a lot of time searching for answers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I don't like is that some useful features are only available on the paid plans, so the free tier can feel a bit limiting as a project grows. At times, the dashboard can also take a few extra seconds to load, especially when switching between sections. Other than that, I haven't run into any major issues, and my overall experience has been positive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
