Supabase Pricing Calculator

How Supabase pricing works in 2026

Supabase Pro costs $25/month and bundles far more than just a database: Auth (50,000 MAU included), Storage (100 GB included), Edge Functions (2M invocations included), Realtime (200 concurrent connections included), and the Postgres database with Row Level Security. This is a Backend-as-a-Service platform, not a pure database — comparing it against database-only providers requires accounting for the additional services you would otherwise pay for separately.

The Pro plan includes a $10/month compute credit, which covers one Micro instance (2-core ARM, 1 GB RAM). Upgrading to a larger compute tier costs the difference: Small ($15/mo) = $5 extra, Medium ($60/mo) = $50 extra, Large ($110/mo) = $100 extra.

Supabase compute tiers

Supabase compute is provisioned as dedicated instances, not serverless. The Micro instance (1 GB RAM) handles most early-stage SaaS workloads. Upgrade to Small (2 GB) for 10K+ concurrent connections, Medium (4 GB) for compute-intensive queries, and Large (8 GB) for high-throughput production databases. Unlike Neon, Supabase compute does not scale to zero on the Pro plan — you pay for the instance 24/7.

Supabase pricing examples

Early SaaS (Micro compute, minimal usage): $25/month base (compute credit covers Micro) + minimal storage and egress = $25/month.

Growing SaaS (Small compute, 20 GB storage, 300 GB egress): $25 base + $5 compute extra (Small $15 − $10 credit) + $1.50 storage overage + $4.50 egress overage = $36/month.

Scale (Medium compute, 50 GB storage, 1 TB egress): $25 base + $50 compute extra (Medium $60 − $10 credit) + $5.25 storage overage + $67.50 egress overage = $148/month.

What makes Supabase different

Supabase's strongest advantage is the bundled services. Auth alone would cost $20–30/month on Clerk or Auth0 at 10K+ MAU. Storage with CDN costs $5–15/month on S3 + CloudFront. Edge Functions replace a separate serverless layer. If you need all these services, Supabase's $25/month base is exceptional value compared to assembling them individually.

MakerKit ships with first-class Supabase integration: Row Level Security policies, typed Supabase clients, server and client hooks, and Auth integration are all built in. If you use MakerKit, Supabase is the path of least resistance.

How this calculator works

The calculator selects the nearest Supabase compute tier based on your target RAM, subtracts the $10 compute credit from the tier cost, then adds storage overage (above 8 GB) and egress overage (above 250 GB). Auth, Storage, Edge Functions, and Realtime usage are not modeled — the included quotas cover most early-stage SaaS workloads.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Supabase Pro cost per month?

The base price is $25/month. Most early-stage SaaS apps stay at $25/month because the Micro compute tier is covered by the included credit, and storage and egress quotas are generous. A growing SaaS with a larger compute tier typically runs $30–60/month.

Does Supabase have a free plan?

Yes. The Free plan includes 500 MB database storage, 50,000 MAU, 5 GB egress, and 500 MB file storage — no credit card required. Free projects auto-pause after 1 week of inactivity. The Pro plan removes pausing and adds significantly higher limits.

Supabase vs Neon — which should I choose?

Choose Supabase if you need a full BaaS (Auth, Storage, Realtime) and want everything in one platform. Choose Neon if you need pure serverless Postgres with scale-to-zero and are comfortable managing Auth and Storage separately. For MakerKit projects, Supabase is the recommended choice because of first-class integration.

Does Supabase support Row Level Security?

Yes — RLS is a core feature. Supabase makes it easy to define per-row access policies in SQL, and the Supabase client automatically attaches the authenticated user's JWT when making queries. MakerKit uses RLS extensively to enforce multi-tenant data isolation.
