MongoDB Atlas vs Supabase

Same category, different tradeoffs. Pick from the published entry price and the limits below.

MongoDB Atlas

Managed document database with a free shared tier

Free M0, then paid

Strengths

M0 is a real free cluster for prototypes
Dedicated tiers cover production

Limits

A real bill splits compute, storage, and backup
Document modeling is a poor fit for relational workloads

Vendor pricing Alternatives

Supabase

Postgres plus auth, storage, and a data API

Free tier, Pro from $25/mo

Strengths

Auth and storage sit next to the database
The free project is enough for a prototype

Limits

Pro is a platform fee, then usage on top
It is more than a database if you only need Postgres
