Supabase Free Tier 2026

stable

Subtypes in Databases: relational — tables, rows and joins under SQL — Postgres, MySQL, SQLite family; vector — stores embeddings and answers similarity queries as its primary access path; backend_platform — bundles a database with auth, functions or storage as one product. We read that on 2026-08-31 from https://supabase.com/, where it says: “Build production-grade applications with a Postgres database, Authentication, instant APIs, Realtime, Functions, Storage and Vector embeddings.” How we use this.

Limits, pricing history, and 25 alternatives. Verified November 2026. Last updated 2026-11-02.

Supabase's free tier offers Postgres development platform: database, Auth, Storage, Realtime and Edge Functions… We rate it stable. All 3 records we hold were our own errors and have been withdrawn. Best for databases workloads — 25 alternatives available.

Free Tier Details

Postgres development platform: database, Auth, Storage, Realtime and Edge Functions. The Free plan is $0: unlimited API requests, 50,000 monthly active users, a 500 MB database on a shared CPU with 500 MB RAM, 5 GB egress plus 5 GB cached egress, 1 GB file storage, 500,000 Edge Function invocations, and Realtime with 200 concurrent connections and 2 million messages a month. Free projects are paused after 1 week of inactivity, with a limit of 2 active projects. Pro starts at $25 a month for the first project and includes $10 a month of compute credits, enough for one Micro instance.

Supabase runs its own MCP server. "By default the hosted Supabase MCP server uses dynamic client registration to authenticate with your Supabase org." (From https://supabase.com/docs/guides/getting-started/mcp, read 2026-10-20.) The endpoint is https://mcp.supabase.com/mcp, the transport is HTTP, and authentication uses OAuth with dynamic client registration, so no personal access token is needed.

We read that on 2026-11-02 from https://supabase.com/pricing, and our check recorded: the page names Supabase as "supabase" and states "$ 0" and "$ 25" and "$10" and "$ 10".

From supabase.com/pricing, read 2026-11-02:

Free Perfect for passion projects & simple websites. Start for Free $ 0 / month Get started with: Unlimited API requests 50,000 monthly active users 500 MB database size Shared CPU • 500 MB RAM 5 GB egress 5 GB cached egress 1 GB file storage Community support Free projects are paused after 1 week of inactivity. Limit of 2 active projects.

Supabase makes daily backups only for Pro, Team and Enterprise projects, so a free project has none, and Supabase recommends exporting it yourself with the CLI's db dump command. (From supabase.com/docs/guides/platform/backups, read 2026-10-05.)
A paused project can be restored from the dashboard for 1 year. After that, only its backup file and Storage objects can be downloaded. (From supabase.com/docs/guides/platform/upgrading, read 2026-10-05.)
Supabase notifies you when you exceed the Free Plan quota. Continued overuse brings restrictions that can include a read-only database, 402 responses to every API request, or paused projects. They lift when the quota refills next billing cycle or on upgrade to Pro. (From supabase.com/docs/guides/platform/billing-faq, read 2026-10-05.)
Supabase's Free Plan needs no credit card; paid plans require one on file. (From supabase.com/docs/guides/platform/get-set-up-for-billing, read 2026-10-22.)

When You'll Outgrow Supabase's Free Tier

Alternatives in Databases

How Supabase compares against every one of the 25 we list, not against a selection of them. A surface with room for every member of a tied set may rotate their order. A surface with room for only some of them names none of them, because which ones it named would be the claim, and a claim seeded on the date is not the one we serve tomorrow. How we decide this.

Cloudflare D1	Free SQLite at the edge — 5M rows read/day, 100K rows written/day, 5 GB total storage. Resets daily at midnight UTC On the Free plan, once the account reaches its daily read or write limit, D1 refuses queries and returns errors until the limits reset at 00:00 UTC; upgrading to Workers Paid removes the limits. (From developers.cloudflare.com/d1/platform/pricing, read 2026-10-20.) On the Free plan a single D1 database can hold at most 500 MB, and an account can have at most 10 databases, within the 5 GB account total. (From developers.cloudflare.com/d1/platform/limits, read 2026-10-20.) Cloudflare D1's free plan needs no credit card. (From cloudflare.com/developer-platform/products/d1, read 2026-10-22.) D1 usage past Free limits requires the Workers Paid plan. That plan has a minimum charge of $5 per month per account. (From developers.cloudflare.com/workers/platform/pricing, read 2026-10-29.) The Workers Paid plan includes 25 billion rows read, 50 million rows written, and 5 GB storage monthly. Rows read overage is $0.001 per million. Rows written overage is $1.00 per million.

Appwrite Cloud	Free Open-source BaaS — 75K MAU, 2 GB storage, 750K function executions/month, 5 GB bandwidth, 1 database, 1 bucket and 2 functions per project, 500K database reads and 250K writes a month. Limit of 2 projects. The Free plan's resources are shared across the account's 2 projects, which draw on one allowance. Paid plans give each project its own resources. (From appwrite.io/docs/advanced/billing/free, read 2026-10-11.) A Free project with no development activity in the Appwrite Console for 7 days is paused. User traffic does not prevent pausing. The project becomes inaccessible to users and stops running backups, cron jobs, and scheduled functions until reactivated in the Console. (From appwrite.io/changelog/entry/2026-02-20-1, read 2026-10-11.) Free projects are deleted after 90 days paused. (From appwrite.io/changelog/entry/2026-06-29, read 2026-10-05.) From October 19, 2026, cron schedules for functions on Appwrite Cloud need a paid plan. On the Free and Education plans, functions run only on an interval of 60 minutes or longer. Existing cron schedules become intervals close to how often they ran. (From appwrite.io/changelog/entry/2026-10-15-1, read 2026-10-19.) If a Free project reaches any resource limit, such as function executions or monthly active users, it freezes and the Console becomes read-only until the next billing cycle, or the owner upgrades to Pro or removes the resources over the limit. (From appwrite.io/pricing, read 2026-10-05.) From November 5, 2026, Appwrite Cloud deletes inactive function and site deployments more than 30 days old by default. A deployment's age counts from the day it was created. The active deployment and any deployment a custom domain points to are kept. On the Free plan, retention can be raised to at most 90 days and each function or site keeps at most its 100 newest inactive deployments. (From appwrite.io/blog/post/default-deployment-retention, read 2026-10-22.) On the Free plan, inactive deployments count toward the same 2 GB of storage as files and databases. (From appwrite.io/blog/post/default-deployment-retention, read 2026-10-22.) Pro starts at $25 a month. It includes one project with 2TB bandwidth, 150GB storage, 3.5M executions and 200K monthly active users. Each additional project costs $15. (From appwrite.io/pricing, read 2026-10-29.) Additional API bandwidth costs $15 per 100GB a month. Additional storage costs $2.8 per 100GB. Additional executions cost $2 per 1m. Additional users cost $3 per 1,000 users. Additional reads cost $0.060 per 100k and writes $0.10 per 100k. (From appwrite.io/pricing, read 2026-10-29.) On Pro, Appwrite automatically buys extra resources when an organization exceeds its limits. The budget cap limits how much it can scale.
