GitHub vs Supabase pricing

Both of these are in Developer tool, and we read both pricing pages the same way, with the same reader. Everything below is what each page printed on the day we read it. Both pages read on 1 Sept 2026.

We check each page about once a day, so this is a daily reading, not a live feed. Prices are copied as printed, never converted and never averaged.

Tier by tier

Rows are lined up by position on each page, not by tier name, because the names never match across two vendors. Row 1 is the top tier on each page, row 2 the one under it. Where one page has fewer tiers than the other, the row is left blank rather than paired with something it is not.

The entry tier

GitHub is the cheaper of the two at the entry tier: $4/user/month on Team, against $25/month on Pro. That is $21 less, 84 percent below Supabase.

GitHub charges per person and Supabase charges for the whole account, so the two figures are not like for like. This is the cheapest paid monthly tier we can read on each page. Free tiers, quoted tiers and per-unit rates are left out, because none of those is a figure you can put next to another company's figure.

  • GitHub adds interactive pricing calculator to help customers estimate costs based on custom usage

    GitHub20 Aug 2026

    GitHub adds interactive pricing calculator to help customers estimate costs based on custom usage Why it matters: • Reduces friction in sales cycle by enabling self-service cost estimation before contacting sales, likely improving conversion rates for larger deals • Signals confidence in pricing model and transparency, positioning GitHub as more accessible than competitors with opaque enterprise pricing • Makes per-user/per-action pricing easier to understand, reducing objections from customers concerned about unpredictable costs at scale Positioning: - Added prominent link to interactive pricing calculator on main pricing page - Emphasizes self-service, transparent cost estimation as core value proposition What to do: • Audit your own pricing transparency-if you lack a calculator or cost estimator, build one immediately to match this UX standard • Analyze whether your pricing model is simpler or harder to understand than GitHub's calculator output; adjust positioning accordingly • Test customer perception: do prospects convert faster with transparent calculators vs. sales-gated pricing?

  • Supabase shifts usage limits FAQ from proactive notification focus to self-service usage tracking

    Supabase15 Aug 2026

    Supabase shifts usage limits FAQ from proactive notification focus to self-service usage tracking Why it matters: • Indicates Supabase is emphasizing user agency in monitoring consumption rather than platform-triggered alerts, suggesting confidence in dashboard instrumentation • May reflect customer feedback that self-service visibility matters more than automatic warnings for cost management • Could signal Supabase's intent to move users toward automated scaling or commitment-based pricing rather than hard usage caps Positioning & Messaging: - Removed FAQ question: 'Do I get a notification if I am approaching my usage limits?' - Added FAQ question: 'How can I track my usage?' - Shift from reactive notification model to proactive user-initiated tracking What to do: • Monitor Supabase's updated answer to the new FAQ question to understand their tracking/dashboard capabilities and whether this signals movement toward usage observability as a differentiator • Audit your own usage notification and tracking features-if you offer clearer alerts or more granular real-time limits, emphasize this in competitive positioning • Watch for follow-up pricing/plan changes that might accompany this messaging shift, as it could foreshadow a move toward consumption-based or tier-free pricing models

Both pages were read on 1 Sept 2026 by the same reader, so the figures above are two prices from one day rather than two prices from two moments. Prices are copied as printed, never converted and never averaged, and a vendor can change a page any time after we read it. Open both pricing pages before you act on any of this.
