How much does Supabase cost, and what are the free plan limits?

Supabase plans and free tier limits checked in November 2026: database size, users, storage, egress, project pausing, and what changes when you move to Pro.

Supabase's free plan allows two active projects, each with a 500 MB database, 50,000 monthly active users, 1 GB of file storage and 5 GB of egress, and free projects pause after a week of inactivity. Pro starts at 25 dollars a month with 100,000 monthly active users, 8 GB disk, 250 GB egress, daily backups and no pausing.

The plans

Supabase's pricing page on 9 November 2026:

  • Free: 0 dollars, up to 2 active projects.
  • Pro: from 25 dollars a month, first project included, extra projects from 10 dollars a month.
  • Team: from 599 dollars a month, for organizations needing compliance and access controls.
  • Enterprise: custom.

Free plan limits

  • Database: 500 MB per project.
  • Monthly active users: 50,000.
  • File storage: 1 GB.
  • Egress: 5 GB, plus 5 GB of cached egress.
  • Projects pause after one week of inactivity. The pausing rule is the one that surprises people: a demo or side project with no traffic for a week goes to sleep and must be restored.

What Pro adds

  • 10 dollars of compute credits each month, enough for one Micro instance.
  • 100,000 monthly active users included, then 0.00325 dollars each.
  • 8 GB disk per project, then 0.125 dollars per GB.
  • 250 GB egress, then 0.09 dollars per GB.
  • 100 GB file storage.
  • Daily backups kept for 7 days, and 7 days of logs.
  • No pausing, and a spend cap that is on by default.

When to move off the free plan

  • Real users depend on the app: pausing and the lack of backups are not acceptable in production.
  • You need backups or longer log retention.
  • Your database or storage approaches the limits.
  • You need more than two projects.

Turning off the spend cap on Pro allows usage to grow past the included amounts. Keep it on until you know your usage pattern.

Keeping costs down

  • Index the columns you filter on, so queries use less compute.
  • Serve large files through a CDN, so egress is cached.
  • Remove unused projects and old storage objects.
  • Watch the usage page in the first month after launch.

What a scan can and cannot tell you

WebAuditOS sees your site from outside: response times, HTTPS and errors, which show when a paused or overloaded backend breaks pages.

It cannot see your Supabase plan, usage or limits.

A free project that paused shows up as errors on every page that loads data. If a launch demo suddenly fails after a quiet week, check the project status first.

Short answers

Is Supabase free? Yes, for two small projects with limits.

Why did my Supabase project pause? Free projects pause after a week without activity.

How much is Supabase Pro? From 25 dollars a month, plus usage beyond the included amounts.

Does the free plan include backups? Daily backups are listed for Pro, not Free.

The checks this maps to

Every check named here runs on every scan, on every plan - what a plan changes is how many pages are crawled, how long the history is kept and what you can do with the result. These are the ids the findings carry, so you can match a line in a report to the explanation above.
