Best Supabase Alternatives in 2026
These are the 5 closest tools to Supabase that we track, ordered by what they cost to start. Each entry says how its pricing differs from Supabase's — based on the numbers we hold, not on who pays us. We do not publish a quality score, because we do not have one we can stand behind. The cheapest verified option is Caddy at Free.
Why people leave Supabase
- New Platform: Some features (like Edge Functions) are still in a beta phase.
- Ecosystem: Does not yet have as massive an 'Extensions' market as Firebase.
- Self-Hosting: Setting it up on your own server is not as easy as the cloud version.
These are the drawbacks listed in our own Supabase review — not complaints we invented for this page.
