Supabase is a Postgres backend platform for developers. We are a MongoDB content platform with a dashboard your editors can use — your database, your bucket, your SMTP.
Supabase is the leading open-source backend-as-a-service: a full managed PostgreSQL database with instant APIs, authentication with a long list of OAuth providers, file storage, edge functions, and realtime subscriptions. It is developer-first — you work in SQL, row-level security policies and TypeScript — the free tier is genuinely generous, and the ecosystem is enormous. It is Apache-2 licensed and can be self-hosted, though nearly everyone uses the hosted cloud.
The first difference is that these products are often not solving the same problem: Supabase is a backend platform you build on with code, and there is no content editing experience for non-developers — the table editor is a developer tool, not an editorial workflow. EasySiteControl is a content platform: schemas with validation, records with history, media, forms and a dashboard an editor can be handed. The second difference is where things live. On Supabase's cloud, your Postgres runs on their infrastructure — it is your data, exportable at any time, but the database itself is a Supabase-managed instance on their account. With us, the database is a MongoDB on your account — Atlas, self-hosted, anywhere — alongside your own bucket and your own SMTP. Leaving is just pointing your apps at your own DB, because nothing needs to be migrated off our infrastructure in the first place.
| Supabase | EasySiteControl | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Backend platform — database, auth, functions, for developers | Content platform — schemas, records, media, forms, for teams |
| Where records live | Managed Postgres on Supabase's infrastructure (or self-host the stack) | Your own MongoDB — Atlas, self-hosted, anywhere |
| Database | PostgreSQL | MongoDB |
| Editor experience | Table editor — a developer tool | A content dashboard non-developers can use |
| End-user auth | Excellent — email, magic links, many OAuth providers | Auth schemas — registration, login, verification, reset |
| Custom API logic | Edge functions — TypeScript, deployed | Visual step canvas — assembled and test-run in the dashboard |
| Realtime | Built in | None |
| Cost shape | Free tier; Pro from ~$25/mo plus usage | Flat per project; you supply the infra |

No — and that is the heart of this comparison. Supabase is a backend platform: a managed Postgres with auth, storage and functions, built for developers writing code. It has no editorial interface for non-developers. EasySiteControl is a content platform with a dashboard your editors use. Plenty of teams could reasonably use both, for different layers of the same product.
Your data in Supabase is yours and exportable at any time — that is real, and better than most of the industry. But on the hosted cloud, the Postgres instance itself runs on Supabase's infrastructure under their account. With EasySiteControl the database is a MongoDB on your account, provisioned by you, that we connect to with credentials you can revoke. If the vendor disappears, your database does not.
No. Supabase is Postgres, deeply and deliberately — its APIs, row-level security and tooling are built on it. If your stack is MongoDB, Supabase means migrating to SQL. EasySiteControl connects to the MongoDB you already have.
Supabase's Pro plan starts around $25/month plus usage — egress, storage, active users — so costs track growth. EasySiteControl is a flat price per project, and you supply the database and bucket, so the growing bill is with your own providers at their rates. Which is cheaper depends entirely on your shape: a small prototype is cheaper on Supabase's free tier; a content-heavy site with real traffic tends to favour flat pricing.
The claims on our side of the table are documented, not asserted: start with the getting-started guide, see how schemas and the records API work, or how custom endpoints are built. The cost side is one page: pricing.
