Supero vs Supabase

Postgres with authentication, storage, realtime and edge functions around it. Open source, and genuinely self-hostable.

Where Supabase wins

Portability, and it is not close. If the deciding factor is "can I take the whole thing and run it myself with no vendor in the loop", Supabase wins and you should take it. It is also the better choice if you want to write the application layer yourself.

Where Supero is different

Supabase gives you Postgres and RLS and leaves the governance model to you — you write the policies, the tenant boundary, the field masking and the transactional flows. Supero ships those as the platform. You are trading portability for not writing that layer.

What you can take out of Supabase

You keep: Postgres plus your own application code. The strongest exit position of any platform in this comparison, and we are not going to pretend otherwise.

Still calls home: Nothing you cannot run yourself. That is the point of it.

What you can take out of Supero

You keep: Readable Python and JavaScript source as a tarball, or pushed to a GitHub/Bitbucket repo you own with secrets stripped — plus your data, plus an optional Enterprise self-host.

The catch: One-way. Source leaves; edits do not flow back. And the governance layer runs on our runtime unless you take the Enterprise on-premise build.

Choose Supabase if

You want to own the whole stack and are happy to build the multi-tenancy and access model.

Choose Supero if

You would rather not write the isolation model, field-permission enforcement and saga compensation yourself — and can accept a runtime dependency in exchange.

What Supero enforces that you would otherwise write

Logical isolation enforced at the query planner — tenancy is the record’s address (domain → project → tenant → record), not a column somebody has to remember to filter on. Physical isolation via self-host.
Role-based access at object AND field level, plus per-owner record scoping stamped server-side from the authenticated caller.
22 transactional services — cart, order, payment authorize/capture/refund/void, two-phase inventory reserve/commit, booking, subscriptions with dunning, multi-signer e-signature, multi-step approval, a double-entry loyalty ledger — with saga compensation enforced centrally and invalid transitions returning 409.
PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle and MongoDB; Snowflake, Databricks, ClickHouse, BigQuery, Redshift and Microsoft Fabric; plus REST, CSV/S3/GCS/SFTP and webhooks. Per table: copy-in, live read-only, or live read-write.

On compliance, so it is not buried: Designed for SOC 2 and HIPAA controls. Not certified, and no BAA.
