How billing works

Learn how billing works in Supabase.


Our goal at Supabase is to provide a predictable billing system that grows with your project.

How billing is organized

The Supabase Platform has "organizations" and "projects". An organization may contain multiple projects. Each project is a dedicated Supabase instance with all of its sub-services including Storage, Auth, Functions and Realtime. For example:

  • Organization 1
    • Project 1 (Database, Auth, Storage, Functions, Realtime)
    • Project 2 (Database, Auth, Storage, Functions, Realtime)
  • Organization 2
    • Project 3 (Database, Auth, Storage, Functions, Realtime)

Each organization only has a single subscription with a single Plan (Free, Pro, Team or Enterprise). Project addons such as Compute, Custom Domains and PITR are still configured per project and are added to your organization subscription.

Billing: Current

Quotas and features

Quotas and features are applied to your entire organization, independent of how many projects you launch within that organization. For billing purposes, we sum the usage across all projects in a monthly invoice.

Upgrading your organization to a paid plan means that you unlock the benefits of the paid plan for all projects within that organization - for example, no projects in your "Pro" organization will be paused. See pricing page for details on all plans.

It is not possible to mix different plans inside a single organization. You cannot have one Pro Plan project and one Free Plan project inside a single organization. To have projects on different plans, you'll need to create different organizations. Also see Project Transfers in case you're looking to transfer a project to a different organization.

Usage-based billing for compute

Supabase provides a dedicated server and database for every project. By default, your instance runs on the Micro Compute instance. You can upgrade your compute size in your project settings.

You won't get an immediate charge upfront when changing compute, instead we'll bill you based on compute runtime hours when your billing cycle resets.

If you launch a second or third instance on your paid plan, we add the additional compute hours to the final invoice.

Free Plan

Supabase provides two "Free projects". Each project can run a Nano instance for free. This is a great way to get started with Supabase and try out the platform.

We count your total limit of 2 free projects across all organizations you're either an Owner or Administrator of. You could have two Free Plan organizations with one project each, or one Free Plan organization with two projects. Paused projects do not count towards your free project limit.

Compute credits

Paid plans come with $10 of Compute Credits to cover one Micro instance or parts of any other Compute Add-On.

Compute Credits are deducted from your Compute Usage. You can launch as many instances as you want on paid plans and we'll bill based on the compute hours. If you upgrade an instance for 24 hours, you'll only be billed for those 24 hours of additional compute. Compute hours are billed when you do plan up/downgrades (resets the billing cycle) or whenever your billing cycle resets once a month.

Compute Credits do not apply to other usage fees like egress, database size, ... They solely apply to Compute usage.

Additionally, Compute Credits are given to you not only for the first month but for every month while you are on a paid plan. Notice though, that they reset every month and do not accumulate, in case you're not running any projects.

Replicas

In case of deploying additional Read Replicas, each replica is a dedicated database that adds additional compute runtime hours.

Each replica incurs one compute hour on the given compute size. An example:

A primary database on XL compute and two read replicas on XL compute would incur ~2.190 XL compute hours (3x 730h) and cost ~$630/month.

Unified egress

Each organization receives a total egress quota (eg. 250GB on the Pro Plan) which can be used for anything - Storage, Realtime, Auth, Functions, Supavisor or Database.

Included egress quota

Each plan includes a quota for unified egress, which is applied to your entire organization.

Egress dashboards

You can see a breakdown of the different types of egress on your organization usage page.

Billing Examples

Here are some examples on how the Billing affects you.

Multiple Free Plan projects

Here are the quotas for the Free Plan:

Usage ItemFree Plan
Egress5GB across Database + Storage
Database Space500MB
Storage Space1GB
Monthly Active Users50,000 MAU
Edge Function Invocations500K
Edge Function Count25
Realtime Message Count2 million
Realtime Peak Connections200
Max of 2 free projects*

The quota applies to the entire organization, i.e. you can have a total of 5GB egress (sum of all projects egress combined).

* All active projects in Free Plan organizations where you're either an Owner or Administrator count towards your total limit of 2 free projects. Paused projects do not count towards your limit.

Multiple Pro Plan projects

While you only pay for the $25 Pro Plan once, launching additional projects at least incurs compute costs.

Invoice Breakdown

Pro Plan for Organization$25

Here's the quota for your entire organization:

Usage ItemQuota
Egress250GB included, then $0.09 per GB
Database Size8GB included, then $0.125 per GB
Storage Size100GB included, then $0.021 per GB
Monthly Active Users100K MAU included, then $0.00325 per MAU

Storage Images Transformed100 included, then $5 per 1000
Realtime Message Count5 million included, then $2.5 per million
Realtime Peak Connections500 included, then $10 per 1000

If you wish to keep the same quota for each project, you can separate your projects into three organizations on the Pro Plan each. You'd end up paying $25 for each project, so $75 instead of $45 in total, while getting more quota.
