Supabase Startup Program
Supabase no longer runs a startup credits program. The free tier is still live, and these are the providers that do still fund early-stage teams.
This program no longer exists
Supabase no longer publishes a startup program. As of September 3, 2026 supabase.com/startups returns a 404, there is no application form on any Supabase-owned page, and the credit amounts still circulating on deal sites contradict each other and could not be verified. The Supabase free tier is unaffected and still live.

Keep the cost down without a program
Vendors often drop startup offers once they move upmarket to enterprise buyers. These still work for an early team.
- Keep using Supabase's free tier, which is still live, until you hit its limits.
- Use credits from Neon, MongoDB or Cloudflare programs in this directory for a different backend.
- Pay monthly while you validate the product and move to annual only if you keep Supabase.
- Self-host Supabase, which is open source, if you have an engineer who can run it.
- Use credits from AWS Activate, Google for Startups or Microsoft for Startups for managed Postgres on those clouds.
About
Supabase does not run a startup credits program anymore. As of September 3, 2026 there is no application form, no published credit amount, and no eligibility criteria on any Supabase-owned page. The supabase.com/startups URL returns a 404.
Deal aggregators still list this program, usually as six months of the Team plan free or as $3,000 in credits over twelve months. Those two figures contradict each other, neither links to a working application, and neither could be verified against a Supabase page. A listing on a perks roundup is not evidence that a program exists.
The part most early-stage teams actually wanted is unaffected: the Supabase free tier is still live. It gives you 500 MB of Postgres, 50,000 monthly active auth users, 1 GB of file storage, and 5 GB of egress across two projects. Two limits matter in practice. A free project pauses after a week without traffic, and the first paid tier starts at $25 per month. If you are pre-launch, the free tier is still the cheapest way to run Supabase.
So the useful question is no longer how to get Supabase credits. It is which piece of Supabase you need, and which provider funds that piece. Postgres has Neon. Auth has Auth0 and MojoAuth, both with free tiers around 25,000 monthly active users and both running real startup programs. Object storage has Cloudflare R2, which charges nothing for egress. Firebase is the closest thing to a whole-platform swap.
One thing worth knowing before you rip anything out: Supabase officially supports third-party auth providers, including Auth0. You can keep Supabase Postgres, your row level security policies, Storage, and Realtime, and change only who issues the JWT. That is usually a far smaller migration than moving the database.
Frequently asked about Supabase Startup Program
Is Supabase Startup Program still available?
Supabase no longer publishes a startup program. As of September 3, 2026 supabase.com/startups returns a 404, there is no application form on any Supabase-owned page, and the credit amounts still circulating on deal sites contradict each other and could not be verified. The Supabase free tier is unaffected and still live.
What should startups use instead of Supabase Startup Program?
The closest live options are neon-startups, auth0-startups, mojoauth-startup, cloudflare-for-startups. Each one is listed with its current terms and application link on this page.
Why is this page still published if the program ended?
Because founders still search for it. Removing the page would send them to third-party sites that are still republishing the old terms as if they were current. Keeping it, with the offer stripped out, is the only way to correct the record at the place people actually look.
How can I tell whether a startup credit program is still live?
Open the provider's own startup or partner page and look for a working application form with stated eligibility and credit amounts. Aggregator sites routinely keep listings up for years after a program ends, so a deal roundup is not evidence that the program exists.
