ONVIX vs
Supabase.

Supabase is the open-source Firebase alternative with Postgres under the hood. But usage-based pricing, egress fees, and limited compute mean surprise bills as you scale. ONVIX gives you five backend services — deploy, database, auth, storage, and email — with flat pricing and a free tier on everything.

The shift
01

Usage-based pricing punishes growth

Supabase charges for bandwidth, storage egress, and auth MAUs. A viral launch means unexpected charges. ONVIX has flat monthly pricing — your bill is predictable regardless of traffic.

02

Postgres is powerful, but heavy

PostgreSQL is enterprise-grade, which means complex connection management, pooling configurations, and more resource consumption. ONVIX uses managed SQLite — lightweight, fast, zero-config.

03

Still missing email and deployment

Supabase gives you database, auth, and storage — but no email hosting and no app deployment. You still need separate services to complete your stack. ONVIX bundles all five.
