Supabase vs Firebase for a web app with logins

A web app with logins on Supabase or on Firebase (Firestore and Firebase Authentication): monthly cost as you grow and where each free tier ends.

Updated · prices from each provider's own page

Supabase gives you a hosted Postgres database with logins and file storage in one service. Firebase is Google's pair of products for the same job: Firestore, a document database with a daily free quota and pay-per-read and write pricing, and Firebase Authentication, free up to 50,000 monthly active users. The two stacks below share the same domain, hosting and email, so the difference is the database and logins.

At growing, about 1,000 people a month
