Questions about pricing #1173
-
Hi! I have a few questions regarding the recent announcements with regards to supabase pricing. Before getting on with it – massive kudos on the big updates, really happy to see all the great progress you're making! The free tier is generous, which is great for getting started and not worrying about costs when just trying to get a project off the ground. The Pro tier is very generous, at $25 / month it's a no brainer even for projects with modest of runways. The PAYG tier is where things start to get confusing to me. In the email you sent out the pricing TL;DR was:
That last bit which I've emphasized doesn't seem to match what's on the pricing page, or I'm just confused by the latter. The above statement suggests that the PAYG tier is the same as Pro, except for when you reach usage levels above what's given in the Pro tier, but I can't see this reflected on the pricing page. Is it correct to assume that PAYG means Pro + extra usage costs, or is PAYG $25 / month + usage starting from zero? So to match the Pro tier in terms of storage and transfer limits, the actual cost for PAYG is aproximatly $42 / month? Also, when the alpha came to a close and the beta was announced, the following commitments were made:
If I recall correctly we signed up during the tail end of the alpha (late november) so presumably we are eligible for the 2 year Pro tier credit, but when does this come into effect? Has that already started or does it come into effect when we sign up for the Pro or PAYG tier? I can't see anything in the dashboard to suggest there's credit available. Finally, how do you sign up for PAYG? I can only see "Upgrade to Pro" in the dashboard, do you first have to upgrade to Pro in order to go to the PAYG tier? (For the record, we won't need PAYG just yet, just curious.) |

Thanks for the questions @mstade. Also before I begin it might be helpful to point out this blog post for anyone who missed it: https://supabase.io/blog/2021/03/29/pricing
As with our docs, it seems we could improve our pricing page a lot. It's hard to get everything right first time, so we'll adjust the language on the pricing page to make this clearer: PAYG is $25 / month + usage starting from zero. e.g.: it's not "overage"
If you are an early sign up, please reach out to beta@supabase.io and we'll add the credits to your account. When we announced the Credits scheme, we weren't planning to offer a free tier at all, so just take note that the credits are also on top of the Free Tier :)
Also reach out to beta@supabase.io for now. As with everything we're doing, we shipped billing very early so we haven't finished the "self-serve usage" yet. We should have it finished in a month or so |
