Supabase for startups: the free tier, not a credit program

Free tier + startup planDeveloper Tools
Claim this deal
Quick answer

Supabase doesn't currently run a startup credits program — the old $300 credit offer has ended and isn't listed on their site any more. What early-stage teams get instead is a genuinely usable free tier: a Postgres database with auth, storage, realtime and edge functions, with no application and no equity. You upgrade to Pro when you outgrow it.

About this offer

Supabase used to give startups $300 in credits. That program has ended — the old link is dead and no replacement is listed. The reason Supabase still belongs on this list is its free tier, which is more generous than most: a full Postgres database with authentication, file storage, realtime subscriptions and edge functions, enough to run a real product in front of real users. There is nothing to apply for.

Below is how to get started. Terms are set by Supabase and can change, so always confirm the current ones on their official page.

How to claim Supabase

1
Start a project on the free tier

Sign up and create a project — no application, no eligibility check and no card required. You get a Postgres database with auth, storage, realtime and edge functions from the start.

2
Check the free tier's limits

The free plan caps database size, bandwidth, monthly active users and storage, and pauses projects left idle. Supabase's pricing page lists the current numbers, and they're worth reading before you build on them.

3
Upgrade when you outgrow it

Pro removes the pause, raises the limits and adds daily backups, billed per project per month. You can move a free project onto Pro without migrating anything.

4
Ask your accelerator about credits

Supabase has no public credit program, but accelerators and VC platforms sometimes bundle infrastructure credits. If you're in a program, check its perks list — that's the only route to Supabase credits we can point to today.

Frequently asked questions

Does Supabase have a startup program?

Not currently. Supabase previously offered $300 in credits through a startup program, but that page has been taken down and no replacement offer is published. Their startups page now markets the platform itself rather than a credit program.

What do startups get from Supabase instead?

The free tier, which is unusually complete: a Postgres database, authentication, file storage, realtime subscriptions and edge functions. It's enough to launch and run a product, with no application and no equity given up.

What are the free tier's main limits?

Database size, bandwidth, storage and monthly active users are all capped, and projects that sit idle get paused until you open them again. Supabase publishes the current figures on its pricing page — check there rather than trusting a number in an article.

Can I still get Supabase credits anywhere?

Sometimes, indirectly. Accelerators, incubators and VC perk platforms occasionally include infrastructure credits that cover Supabase. There's no public application you can make on your own.
