Supabase vs Neon: Serverless Postgres Compared for 2026 (NL)
Supabase and Neon both offer serverless PostgreSQL. But they serve very different purposes in the no-code and startup stack.
Vergelijking: Supabase vs Neon
| Criterium | Supabase | Neon |
|---|---|---|
| Core Product | Full BaaS (DB + Auth + Storage + Edge) | Serverless PostgreSQL database only |
| Authentication | Built-in (email, OAuth, magic link) | None (bring your own) |
| Storage | S3-compatible file storage | None |
| Realtime | WebSocket subscriptions | None |
| Edge Functions | Deno-based edge functions | None |
| Branching | Not available | Database branching (unique feature) |
| WeWeb Integration | Native connector | Manual via PostgREST or Xano |
| Free Tier | 2 projects, 500MB DB | 10GB storage, unlimited projects |
Ons oordeel
Supabase is the complete backend platform. Auth, database, storage, realtime, edge functions, one tool handles it all. For no-code stacks (WeWeb, FlutterFlow), Supabase has native connectors that make integration trivial.
Neon is a pure database product with an innovative branching feature (like git branches, but for your DB schema). It's compelling for teams who want serverless Postgres with great DX, but need to bring their own auth, storage, and API layer.
For 95% of startup use cases, Supabase is the right choice. Neon is interesting for teams with specific database-branching workflows or existing auth infrastructure.
