🚨 WATCH OUT
🚨 WATCH OUT: Supabase Pro Experience (2/5 ⭐⭐)
The Backup Scam That Started It All
I upgraded to Pro because I wanted to back up some database changes. Their backup is trash - I felt scammed as I couldn't just back up a migration like I thought. I had to back up to a midnight random backup or pay $100! (4 times subscription) to be able to do what I thought I could...
Can't Even Downgrade
Then I couldn't even downgrade. They told me I had to delete my projects until I had one (because of their rules). Anyways, I kept the subscription...
The Hidden $10 Per Project Charge
Today I'm creating a new project and this message caught my eye: "you will pay 10 dollars for every project on Pro." I was like what, I didn't know that! It turned out I had 3 projects - those trashy MVP projects I couldn't pause because of being "PRO." They were charging me $10 a month for those! So from their advertised $25 a month it jumped to $55 a month!
Solution Buried in Troubleshooting Docs
The immediate solution was buried in their troubleshooting docs: create a new free org and move my MVPs there...
Their AI is Trash Too
Just to finish my comments, their AI is so trashy:
Hallucinates a lot: buttons, functionalities, code, everything
Gives wrong solutions 50% of the time
You can't copy text from chat
Final Thoughts
So far my experience with Supabase is 2/5... I read it was expensive but this is not expensive - this is abusive, scummy, ripoff. Definitely taking advantage of you, especially when they partner with Bolt.new (an amazing, lovely site for vibe coders and new people) and newcomers get welcomed like this by Supabase corporate greed.
I'd say we and Bolt deserve better database providers. Best wishes for y'all!
