Supabase pricing jump from free to pro tier

🧭 workproduct problemSingle report ●●●●● severity 3/5

A solo developer reports that Supabase's pricing structure lacks a middle tier, forcing a jump from a free plan to a $25/month Pro plan when egress limits are exceeded, which causes an immediate hard-fail of the application.

Who's affected: A solo builder running sqlquest.app

🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A 'pay-as-you-go' overage model for egress that allows apps to continue running without forcing a full tier upgrade.
  2. A 'Solo' tier priced at $5-10/month with scaled-down resource limits between the free and Pro tiers.
  3. A notification system that provides a soft warning before hitting hard limits to allow for optimization or billing adjustments.

“Instead of a soft warning or overage billing, the project hard-fails. Every API request returns 402.”
