supabase.io Reviews 7

I had no prior knowledge of databases, yet Supabase made it incredibly easy for me to bring my platform to life 😊 . The interface is intuitive, the setup is straightforward, and everything just works. My platform has handled a large number of users without any issues for an entire year. Supabase has been reliable, efficient, and perfect for someone like me who started with zero database experience ❤️.

🚨 WATCH OUT: Supabase Pro Experience (2/5 ⭐⭐)
The Backup Scam That Started It All
I upgraded to Pro because I wanted to back up some database changes. Their backup is trash - I felt scammed as I couldn't just back up a migration like I thought. I had to back up to a midnight random backup or pay $100! (4 times subscription) to be able to do what I thought I could...
Can't Even Downgrade
Then I couldn't even downgrade. They told me I had to delete my projects until I had one (because of their rules). Anyways, I kept the subscription...
The Hidden $10 Per Project Charge
Today I'm creating a new project and this message caught my eye: "you will pay 10 dollars for every project on Pro." I was like what, I didn't know that! It turned out I had 3 projects - those trashy MVP projects I couldn't pause because of being "PRO." They were charging me $10 a month for those! So from their advertised $25 a month it jumped to $55 a month!
Solution Buried in Troubleshooting Docs
The immediate solution was buried in their troubleshooting docs: create a new free org and move my MVPs there...
Their AI is Trash Too
Just to finish my comments, their AI is so trashy:

Hallucinates a lot: buttons, functionalities, code, everything
Gives wrong solutions 50% of the time
You can't copy text from chat

Final Thoughts
So far my experience with Supabase is 2/5... I read it was expensive but this is not expensive - this is abusive, scummy, ripoff. Definitely taking advantage of you, especially when they partner with Bolt.new (an amazing, lovely site for vibe coders and new people) and newcomers get welcomed like this by Supabase corporate greed.
I'd say we and Bolt deserve better database providers. Best wishes for y'all!

Its a really idea, poorly executed.

I upgraded my project to PRO and bought a aws vps through them. Then after returning from lunch, my project was nowhere to be found, nor was the vps.

I contacted support, they said they had no records of my previous purchase. So, I bought another pro subscription and aws vps.

Suddenly after being charged again, both my original purchases showed up, but instead of being attached to the app I was working on, both the new and original purchases showed up unattached to anything.

When I tried to add my application, it said I needed to purchase a pro subscription again...

Supabase is the best provider of backend services I've ever come across. Storage buckets, databases, multiple ways to implement auth, full access to cron jobs and postgres functions and a very well-crafted web UI.
Their free tier has very generous ingress/egress with a couple caveats, but if you don't like it either pay or self-host- the options and docs are easily accessible.

This is the worst service you could ever deal with. It suddenly stops for a long time, and you can't log into your account or upload your files. Don't use this service; it's better to use Firebase. Choosing this platform was a bad decision, and there’s no warning or apology email to customers. This is not good.

Excelente herramienta y muy fácil de integrar.
