Find the best databases for your workload
Start with the priced options, then check capabilities, limits and commitments. We do not score qualities we have not measured.
What this comparison covers
One database without replication or embedded sync. D1 and Turso use SQLite-compatible engines; Supabase uses PostgreSQL. These are cost alternatives, not interchangeable runtimes. Supabase models one Micro instance; its performance is not inferred from row counts.
