#5 - Supabase vs. Firebase

In this episode, the host compares Supabase and Firebase, ultimately advocating for Firebase. They discuss starting with Supabase due to its appealing UI and integration with Bolt.new but highlight significant drawbacks like issues with user deletion, complex database migrations, and a less responsive support team. The key criticism of Supabase is its pricing model, charging per project which could become expensive for multiple applications. In contrast, Firebase is praised for its cost-effectiveness, with no charges until usage exceeds generous free thresholds, seamless integration with Google services, and an overall easier, more reliable experience for founders scaling their businesses.
