The closest all-in-one match to Supabase that you can also run on your own servers, at the same $25 a month for Pro in the cloud, but you work through its APIs rather than with a Postgres database.
What it is
Appwrite is an open-source backend platform: authentication, databases (TablesDB by default, plus DocumentsDB and VectorsDB), file storage, serverless functions, messaging (email, SMS and push), realtime and Sites for hosting websites, all in one project. You can self-host it with Docker for free or use Appwrite Cloud. Cloud Free: 2 projects, 75,000 monthly active users, 1 database, 1 bucket and 2 functions per project, 5 GB bandwidth, 2 GB storage and 750,000 function executions, and free projects pause after a week of inactivity. Pro costs $25 a month with 200,000 monthly active users, 2 TB bandwidth, 150 GB storage, 3.5 million executions, no pausing and $10 of database compute credit; extra projects are $15 and dedicated database compute runs from $10 a month (1 core, 1 GB) up to $4,099.

Best for
- Teams that want a full backend they can self-host
- Web and mobile apps that need auth, files, functions and hosting together
- Leaving Supabase without giving up an all-in-one backend
What we like
- Open source and self-hostable with Docker, so you can leave the cloud
- Auth, databases, storage, functions, messaging and hosting in one project
- Free cloud plan includes 75,000 monthly active users
What to watch
- Not Postgres: you query through Appwrite's APIs and SDKs, so SQL and pg tools do not carry over
- Self-hosting means running upgrades, backups and scaling yourself
- Free cloud projects pause after a week of inactivity, like Supabase
- Smaller community and fewer tutorials than Firebase or Supabase
