Building a new startup and need to pick a backend-as-a-service. Which one has better:

  • Real-time features
  • Auth system
  • Free tier for hobby projects

Would love to hear from people who actually used them in production!

as a student i used all three for different class projects:

  • supabase – easiest to start, love the sql editor
  • firebase – auth was easiest but no sql = pain
  • appwrite – setup was confusing but self-hosting was cool

if you’re just starting: supabase 👍

Full breakdown from a startup founder:

Supabase: My top pick. PostgreSQL under the hood, great docs, active community, generous free tier.

Firebase: Google’s got this. Great if you want Google ecosystem integration. But getting pricey.

Appwrite: Open-source alternative. Self-hosting is a big plus. But smaller community.

My recommendation: Supabase for most indie projects.
