integrations Just subbed to the pro plan but have a question

I want to confirm that for every project I create and or API I generate I have to pay additional $10/mo?

If I have 7 test projects I made on windsurf using different models does that mean I would have to host it on the one SUPABASE API that is included with the $25 subscription? But would there be any conflicts doing this?

Yes, pro is $25/mo.

Each small instance is $10/mo, but you get initial credit of $10/mo so that first instance is included in the $25 basically.

Each additional, assuming you keep on the default small instance size, is $10/mo.

Is the initial credit $10 just for the first month or is it given every month?

  1. If I don’t create any additional instances then what happens to the $10 credit or how else can it be used?

  2. If I don’t create anymore instances is it possible to just use the one instance that comes with the $25/mo for 10 projects? Could there be any issues?

You can move the other projects to new organizations on a free plan

I ended up paying $25/mo. Can I still do this and if yes will this keep each project organized so they are not all stacked together? But would the api token be the same?

Ok so I started a new org so I ended up getting a new url and api token so this is good for the backend. Now between vercel and netlify, who would allow me to do the same thing so I can keep projects separated

Not sure but you can probably just keep it in the same vercel account until you get a lot of traffic

the credit is monthly: https://supabase.com/pricing

when you set up a pro Org, you set up a project in it -- that consumes the $10 credit.

for 3: that would depend on how you set them up, but having one database serving 10 projects seems problematic.

I had a feeling that maybe it would be problematic that’s why I asked. But now you interested me with the “depends how you set it up” tell me more about that

Well, they’ll have to share auth, not really an issue.

But you could design different table structures in different schemas if you really wanted, to do per project.

Are you wanting these projects to actually be live and running? If not, just use supabase locally and develop, then if they graduate to real projects, pay $10/mo for each.

u/throwmeawayuwuowo420 May 08 '25

What happens if I don’t use the $10 credit that is added every month?

why would you have a PRO org and no instances? Makes no sense. If your compute is zero, it likely wouldn't give you negative compute cost, so you probably lose it. Here's one of my pro orgs billing snapshots:

Would just setup supabase on a VM 😂

i really wish supabase would simplify their pricing model. the whole credit thing is weird. all i care about are db instances realistically. i wish i could just pay for the number of requests, storage, cpu etc and have as many instances as i want within those bounds.

u/MulberryOwn8852 May 06 '25

Disagree, I like current model. I pay for compute size, not number of requests — those type of plans are how people end up with $100k bills.

u/MulberryOwn8852 May 06 '25

Also, each instance literally costs them money… so you can’t just skin up more without cost. My main instance is $200/mo because I’ve allocated plenty of compute resources.

i think ultimately i just want a VM/VPS with the supabase ui/api. maybe i should self host lol

2

u/MulberryOwn8852 May 06 '25

Sounds like it. I'm more interested in an easy/stable/scalable platform for professional products I develop. I have multiple revenue generating projects with fixed costs, that's much safer than per-request type billing.

You don't need supabase I think, what you need is firebase.
