Supabase is recommended when: WEB SAAS / SQL / AI. PostgreSQL, full SQL, pgvector, transparent pricing, open source.

KEY CAPABILITIES

• PostgreSQL — full SQL (JOINs, CTEs, window functions), row-level security, no lock-in. • Predictable tiers ($25/mo Pro); ~40-60% cheaper at production scale (~$619/mo vs ~$1,050/mo). • Native pgvector extension for vector search without extra services. • Good SDKs but fewer (no C++/Unity/Java); no built-in push/analytics/crash.
