You've outgrown the free tier and now you're weighing two low‑code back‑ends. Baserow charges per seat, while Supabase layers a flat‑rate plan with add‑ons that bite at the per‑GB and per‑GB‑egress level.
Seat‑by‑seat versus flat‑rate foundations
Baserow’s paid tiers are expressed as "per user" or "per seat" prices. The Premium plan is listed as $12/month per user and the Advanced plan as $22/month per user. Both include generous row limits, storage, and automation credits. There’s also a Free tier at $0 for anyone just testing the waters.
Supabase, by contrast, offers three named plans. The Free tier is $0/month. The Pro plan sits at $25/month, and the Team plan jumps to $599/month. Beyond those base fees, Supabase bills for extra compute ($10/month), point‑in‑time recovery ($100/month), database size ($0.12 per unit), branching ($0.01 per unit), and egress ($0.09 per unit). Those add‑ons are listed as "Not included in" the base plans, meaning they accrue on top of the plan price.
Where the money really goes
With Baserow, the headline per‑seat price already bundles the biggest cost drivers: rows, storage, and automation. You won’t see hidden per‑GB or per‑GB‑egress fees; the price you see is what you pay per user.
Supabase’s model is more granular. The base Pro or Team fee covers the platform, but any growth in database size, backup retention, or data egress adds line items at $0.12, $0.01, and $0.09 respectively. If you’re running a data‑heavy app, those incremental charges can quickly outpace the flat per‑seat model.
Who should pick which
If you prefer a simple, predictable cost per team member and your data volume stays within the generous limits of Baserow’s Premium or Advanced tiers, Baserow is the cleaner choice. It’s especially attractive for small to midsize teams that value built‑in automation credits without worrying about extra compute or egress.
If you need a more configurable backend, want the ability to add fine‑grained resources only when you need them, or are building a production‑grade app that will scale beyond the bundled limits, Supabase’s tiered plan plus add‑ons give you that flexibility—provided you monitor the extra line items.
