This comparison only makes sense once the division of labour is clear: Netlify runs the frontend and the build pipeline, Supabase runs the Postgres database, auth and storage behind it.
TL;DR
Netlify charges for build and deploy capacity: Free at $0 with 300 credits a month, Personal at $9 with 1,000 credits and one member, Pro at $20 with unlimited members, and extra credits at $5 per 500 or $10 per 1,500. Supabase charges for a database: Free at $0 with 50,000 monthly active users, 500 MB of disk and 5 GB egress, Pro from $25 a month with 100,000 users, 8 GB disk, 250 GB egress and $10 of compute credit, Team from $599. The two are bought together more often than against each other — one serves the site, the other serves the data — but both bills land on the same invoice cycle.
Netlify's pricing page runs a four-rung ladder. Free costs $0 forever with a 300-credit monthly allowance, any framework, deploy previews and custom domains with SSL. Personal is $9 a month for one member with 1,000 credits a month and priority email support. Pro is $20 a month with unlimited members, described as the best value for teams. Credits are the meter: additional packs cost $5 per 500 or $10 per 1,500, extra concurrent build slots are listed at $40 each and Agent Runner slots at $15 each. The feature list covers deploy from Git, CLI or drag and drop, one-click rollbacks, serverless functions, file storage, built-in identity, an AI Gateway for connecting to models, automatic HTTPS and DDoS protection, and a global edge network with a stated 99.99% uptime.
Supabase's pricing page is a database ladder. Free includes unlimited API requests, 50,000 monthly active users, a 500 MB database on shared CPU with 500 MB of RAM, 5 GB of egress, 5 GB cached egress and 1 GB of file storage, with community support and the caveat that free projects pause after a week of inactivity. Pro is $25 a month, first project included with additional projects from $10, and carries 100,000 monthly active users (then $0.00325 each), 8 GB of disk per project (then $0.125 per GB), 250 GB of egress (then $0.09 per GB), 100 GB of file storage, daily backups with seven-day retention, email support and $10 of compute credits. Team starts at $599 a month with SOC 2 and ISO 27001 controls, SSO and backup controls. The product itself is a full Postgres database that the vendor describes as 100% portable, with auth and row level security, storage, edge functions, realtime and vector search.

Pick Netlify if
Git pushes become production URLs, rollbacks are one click, and the free plan already runs 300 credits a month — the payment covers builds, edge delivery and serverless functions. Supabase solves a different question: where the rows live.
Pick Supabase if
A real Postgres database with row level security auth, storage, realtime and vectors arrives at $25 a month including $10 of compute credit, and the whole thing stays portable because it is Postgres. Netlify would hand the same job to a set of primitives instead.
We collected no independent reviews, ratings or user quotations for Netlify or Supabase in this run; uptime, portability and compliance claims are the vendors' own. Prices were read from netlify.com/pricing and supabase.com/pricing on the date shown above.
Not directly. Netlify hosts and deploys the frontend: builds, edge delivery, functions and previews. Supabase provides the database, auth, storage, realtime and edge functions behind it. Teams commonly run both, and the combined bill is what this page compares.
Both are free. Netlify's Free plan runs 300 credits a month with previews and SSL domains; Supabase's Free plan carries 50,000 monthly active users, 500 MB of database and 5 GB of egress, with the caveat that idle free projects pause after a week.
Netlify Personal is $9 a month for one member with 1,000 credits, while Netlify Pro is $20 for unlimited members. Supabase Pro is $25 a month and includes $10 of compute credit, 8 GB of disk and 250 GB of egress.
With credits: 300 a month on Free, 1,000 on Personal, and additional packs at $5 per 500 credits or $10 per 1,500. Extra concurrent build slots cost $40 each and Agent Runner slots $15 each.
By monthly active users ($0.00325 each past 100,000 on Pro), disk ($0.125 per GB past 8 GB), egress ($0.09 per GB past 250 GB) and compute, with $10 of compute credits included on Pro.
Supabase publishes no static hosting product. Its plans are a Postgres database with auth, storage, edge functions and realtime, so a site still needs a host such as Netlify in front of it.
