Neon vs Supabase, side by side
FieldNeonSupabase
TierAS
Why this tierDatabase branches let agents test schema changes safely. That makes it an A-tier serverless Postgres choice.It is the default backend for vibe-coded apps, and many app builders integrate with it. Postgres, auth, storage and edge functions in one place make it S-tier.
Best for
  • Serverless Postgres
  • Letting agents test schema changes on database branches
  • Vibe-coded apps that need a backend
  • Postgres with auth, storage and edge functions
  • Pairing with app builders that integrate with it
Skip if
  • You want auth and storage bundled (see Supabase)
  • You don't need Postgres
  • You want a reactive TypeScript backend (see Convex)
  • You only need auth (see Clerk)
