The best part about using Xano is the combination of low cost and speed to market. Plus, because of the way that Xano is designed with no code, we have been able to iterate on our product rather quickly.

Why Build with Xano?
Ease of use
Xano requires no code, enabling anyone to build scalable, world-class software regardless of their development experience. Supabase requires code.
Xano is an all-in-one backend tool, so you don’t have to develop your server and custom APIs outside of the platform. Supabase only comes with a database and limited business logic functionality that requires coding. This means in many cases you have to use other platforms for business logic and server configuration.
Security & Scalability
Xano offers advanced scalability features and enterprise level certifications. This includes branching and merging so you can iteratively improve your application, NoSQL for large data sets, dedicated resources, and compliance with ISO 27001, and more.
Supabase does not offer these features, making it more difficult to scale and secure your app.

Benefits
No-code api builderFixed pricingLoad balancing and auto-scaleSimply put, Supabase is a real-time database, whereas Xano provides the entire backend. With Xano, not only do you get a flexible PostgreSQL database, but also, an easy-to-use no-code environment for creating complex business logic and a DevOps partner to scale your application.
Limitations
Coding knowledge requiredUsage-based pricingLimited scaling optionsSupabase is an open-source database, including features like authentication and storage. Although it provides some basic CRUD APIs, you will need to spin up more complex API endpoints, CRON jobs, and the rest of your business logic with code.
