FastYoke vs Supabase
Supabase ships a Postgres-native backend toolkit — database, auth, storage, realtime, functions. FastYoke ships a multi-tenant operational platform with workflow, RBAC, audit, and the app surface on top. Same problem space, different products.
What Supabase is good for
- Postgres-native power. Real Postgres with full SQL, extensions, row-level security, and a polished dashboard. If you know Postgres, you know Supabase.
- Backend-as-a-service breadth. Auth, storage, realtime via logical replication, Edge Functions, vector — five well-integrated services behind one project, generous free tier.
- Bring-your-own frontend, anywhere. Their typed clients ship for Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Flutter, mobile. You build the UI; Supabase backs it.
What FastYoke is good for
- Per-tenant isolation by architecture. Every workspace gets its own per-tenant SQLite database. Supabase is one Postgres per project; multi-tenant scoping is RLS policies you author yourself.
- App surface ships with the backend. Schema-driven entities, forms, jobs, FSM workflows, dashboards — built-in, configurable, multi-tenant-safe. With Supabase you bring all of that.
- Batteries-included compliance. A 68-permission catalog, four system roles, custom roles, append-only role-change audit log on every tier. Supabase ships auth and RLS; the roles + permissions + audit story is yours to assemble.

When to choose which
Choose Supabase when…
- you want real Postgres
- you're building a custom-UI app and need a typed-client backend
- row-level security covers your isolation model
- you have engineers comfortable writing SQL
- the free tier is the right place to start
Choose FastYoke when…
- shipping a multi-tenant platform
- you want the app surface (entities, forms, FSM, dashboards) shipped with the backend
- per-tenant data isolation as architecture, not policy
- RBAC and audit on every tier
- SQLite-per-tenant fits the workload better than one shared Postgres
| Dimension | Supabase | FastYoke |
|---|---|---|
| Primary use case | Backend-as-a-service for app developers — database, auth, storage, realtime, functions behind a typed client. | Multi-tenant operational platforms — workflow, RBAC, audit, schema-driven app surface out of the box. |
| Multi-tenancy | One Postgres per project; multi-tenant isolation via row-level security policies you write. | Per-tenant SQLite, tenant-scoped queries enforced platform-wide, isolation is the architecture. |
| Permissions / RBAC | Auth roles + RLS for data access; application-level permission model is yours to build. | 68-permission catalog, four system roles, custom roles, role-change audit log — shipped on every tier. |
| Audit log | pgaudit available; dashboard access logs on higher tiers. | Append-only role-change + admin-override ledgers, exposed at /tenant/audit/role-changes — every tier. |
| Workflow primitive | Database triggers, Edge Functions, pg_cron — primitives you compose into a workflow. | Strict FSM engine with guards, transitions, event ledger — same shape every tenant. |
| Database model | Postgres with row-level security, real SQL, extensions (pgvector, pgaudit, etc.) — the standard. | Per-tenant SQLite with WAL + strict foreign keys; one DB file per tenant; bounded by the platform, not the user. |
| Built-in app surface | None — Supabase is backend-only; you build the UI in your framework of choice. | Schema-driven entities, forms, jobs, dashboards, FSM-Designer, Page Designer — all configurable, multi-tenant-safe. |
| Pricing model | Free; Pro $25/mo + usage; Team ~$599/mo (Team seat + typical usage); Enterprise contact-sales. Rates per supabase.com/pricing, June 2026. | $180/month flat for Team (5 admin users, 3 tenants, Advanced App Builder, 1M transitions). Per-month base + metered overages on Enterprise / ISV. |
