Moving from Firebase to Supabase

The Postgres backend that scales with your business.

Supabase gives you everything Firebase can't: a real SQL database, row-level security, built-in auth, edge functions, and predictable pricing—all on an open-source foundation.

Whether you're building mobile apps, SaaS tools, or AI-native products, Supabase helps you move fast without hitting Firebase's scaling and complexity ceilings.

Migrating to Supabase meant that we could instantly fix our Auth problems and save money. Just being on Supabase alone gives us confidence we can deliver on whatever users need in the future.

Why companies moved to Supabase from Firebase

Build secure, scalable applications using a developer platform built for dependability.

  • Build fast and with confidence

    Supabase helps you go from prototype to production with built-in auth, real-time data, and observability. No setup or backend boilerplate required.

  • Everything your application stack needs

    Supabase includes auth, storage, edge functions, realtime, and vector search—fully integrated and ready to use. Avoid stitching together multiple Firebase products or paying for separate services.

  • Scalable, dependable, Postgres-native

    Supabase runs on standard Postgres with full SQL support, ACID transactions, PITR, high availability, and native support for complex queries and joins. Ideal for apps that outgrow NoSQL constraints.

  • Migrate from Firebase with ease

    Supabase offers open-source tools for migrating Firebase Auth, Firestore data, and Cloud Storage. Move incrementally or all at once—no need to rewrite your entire app.
