# Neon vs Supabase for Next.js

Both are database batteries. A repo takes one of them, not both.

| | Neon | Supabase |
| --- | --- | --- |
| What it is | Serverless Postgres with copy-on-write database branching. It ships an HTTP driver for one-shot queries and a pooled connection for route handlers that need a session. It also adds a read-only db-inspector agent, and a Bash guard that keeps migrations off the pooler. | Postgres with auth, storage and realtime attached, plus a local stack you can run from the CLI. Pick it when you want one vendor for the database and the services around it. |
| Pricing | Free plan: up to 100 projects, each with 100 CU-hours a month and 0.5 GB of storage. Launch and Scale have no monthly minimum: you pay per CU-hour ($0.106 on Launch) plus $0.35 per GB-month of storage. | Free: 2 active projects, 500 MB database each, paused after a week idle. Pro is $25/month per organisation with $10 of compute credit, 8 GB disk per project, 7 days of daily backups and no pausing. Extra projects add compute cost. |
| Best for | Teams that want plain Postgres plus a throwaway database per pull request, running on Vercel or another serverless host where connections are scarce. | Teams that want one Postgres provider to also cover auth, storage and realtime. Also teams who want to run the real stack locally, not against a shared dev database. |
