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.
