What the free tier is really good for
The free plan is generous for learning, prototypes and apps built with tools like Lovable. The catch for businesses is pausing: a free project with no activity for a week is paused, and you are limited to two active projects. A paused database means a broken app for the next customer. Anything customers depend on belongs on Pro.
Compute: the part people miss
Each Pro project runs on a compute instance. Pro includes $10 of compute credit a month, which covers one Micro instance. A second project, or a bigger instance for more traffic, is billed on top. So two production projects on Pro cost about $25 + $10 = $35 a month before other usage. Upgrade compute only when database CPU or memory graphs show you need it.
Overage prices on Pro and Team
| Resource | Included | Beyond that |
|---|---|---|
| Database disk | 8 GB per project | $0.125 per GB |
| Monthly active users | 100,000 | $0.00325 per MAU |
| File storage | 100 GB | $0.0213 per GB |
| Egress | 250 GB | $0.09 per GB |
| Cached egress | 250 GB | $0.03 per GB |
Pro includes a spend cap you can keep on to block unexpected overage charges — useful while you learn your usage pattern.
Example monthly bills
| App | Plan | Approximate cost |
|---|---|---|
| Prototype or student project | Free | $0 |
| Small business booking app, 2,000 users | Pro, one project | $25 |
| Startup app plus staging project | Pro, two projects | $35 + usage |
| Image-heavy marketplace, heavy egress | Pro with overages | $25 + storage and egress |
Keeping your Supabase bill low
Practical steps for small teams.
You'll need: Supabase dashboard access
Keep the spend cap on
Until you understand your usage, it prevents surprise overage bills.
Compress and resize images
Storage and egress drop sharply when images are served at the right size.
Use a CDN for public files
Cached egress is cheaper than uncached.
Clean up old data and logs
Archive or delete tables you no longer need.
Delete idle projects
Each Pro project uses compute, even if nobody visits.
Supabase vs alternatives on price
Firebase charges per read, write and download on its pay-as-you-go plan, which suits some apps and surprises others — see Supabase vs Firebase. A self-managed Postgres or MySQL database on a VPS can be cheaper at scale but needs maintenance. For many Indian business apps, Supabase Pro’s $25 is predictable and enough for years.
Paying from India
Supabase bills in US dollars per organisation to a card. Use a card enabled for international payments and add GST details in billing if you need them for your accounts.
Need a Supabase app built or rescued?
Kode Studio in Gachibowli, Hyderabad builds web apps on Supabase and PHP/MySQL, reviews row-level security on AI-built projects, and moves apps to Pro safely. Custom web apps start from ₹34,499.
When should you move from Free to Pro?
Upgrade the day real customers start depending on the app. The free tier is technically capable of running a small production app, but the weekly pause rule and the lack of backups you can rely on make it risky for a business. A booking system that is paused on a Monday morning loses bookings and trust.
Other signs it is time: your database is approaching 500 MB, you need more than two active projects (for example, a separate staging copy), image uploads are eating into the 1 GB storage, or you need daily backups. Pro also lets you scale compute when traffic grows. For most small Indian businesses, Pro at $25 a month stays sufficient for a long time — the database limits are generous for typical customer, order and booking data. Keep an eye on egress if you serve many images or videos directly from Supabase storage.
Supabase and AI app builders
Tools like Lovable and Bolt often create a Supabase project for you behind the scenes. That is convenient, but check two things before launch: that row-level security policies stop users from reading each other’s data, and which Supabase account and plan the project actually lives in. We regularly find production apps still running on a free project owned by someone’s personal email address — move it into a company-owned organisation on Pro before customers arrive.
