Supabase

Supabase is an open‑source backend‑as‑a‑service (BaaS) platform based in San Francisco, CA. It provides a hosted PostgreSQL database, user authentication, file storage, edge functions, and automatically generated APIs, positioned as an alternative to Firebase but built entirely on open standards and open source tools. Developers typically use Supabase to power web and mobile apps without having to manage their own servers or database infrastructure, and organizations can run multiple projects under a single billing account.

A Supabase charge usually appears on your bank or card statement when you (or someone with access to your card) create a project and move beyond the free tier, upgrade to a paid Pro plan, or incur usage-based charges (for example: database size, storage, or bandwidth over free limits). Charges are generally monthly subscriptions per project, sometimes grouped under an organization, and may be combined with overage or add‑on fees (e.g., additional database capacity, higher performance tiers). You might also see temporary authorization holds when you first add or update a card, or if you start on a trial or promotional credit period that later converts into a paid subscription.

To verify a Supabase charge, first log in at supabase.com, open your Organization in the dashboard, and check the Billing section for invoices, active subscriptions, and usage details that match the date and amount on your statement. Card statements usually show descriptors like “SUPABASE” or “SUPABASE* {organization or project name}.” If you still can’t reconcile the charge, contact Supabase via the in‑dashboard support form or their Help Center at supabase.com/docs/support; you may also find a “Billing” or “Manage payment method” link in emailed invoices that opens the Stripe customer portal to review or cancel subscriptions and download receipts. For unauthorized or mistaken charges, Supabase generally recommends contacting them first to review the account, then working with your bank if you suspect fraud.
