Neon vs Supabase
Compare two Postgres platforms for app backends. Watch how each console handles a database, then try the same small schema in both before you commit a stack.

Watch both demos.

Demo: Supabase Vector Databases
Look for: Watch how Auth, tables and APIs sit next to Postgres in the dashboard, including any vector features shown.

The useful differences.
| Your question | Neon | Supabase |
|---|---|---|
| What is the core database? | Lakebase Postgres: a serverless database that the vendor describes as scaling and branching with your app. [1] | Every project is a full Postgres database, described as portable and extendable, with Row Level Security for data access. [2] |
| What else ships beside Postgres? | Neon lists managed auth, functions, object storage and an AI gateway alongside the database. [1] | Supabase lists Authentication, Edge Functions, Storage, Realtime, Vector embeddings and instant REST APIs as platform products. [2] |
| How do you copy data for development? | Neon documents instant copy-on-write database branching, with optional anonymisation and branches that can delete themselves. [1] | Supabase’s site emphasises dashboard Table and SQL editors plus instant APIs. Check its current branching or preview-database docs for your workflow. [2] |
Our take: start from the job — a branchable serverless database versus a batteries-included Postgres platform. The demos are walkthroughs, not load tests. Directory rank on DemoTV is still audience votes.
Make the comparison your own
Try the same task.
Create the same tiny schema (a table, a row, a read). Compare how auth and APIs attach, then try one branch or preview copy if the product offers it. Check restore and access rules yourself.
