• Supabase Alternatives 🔄 in 2025 😼

  Parse deserves mention primarily for its historical significance as the precursor that inspired the entire backend-as-a-service space. Founded in 2011, Parse pioneered many concepts that we now take for granted in modern BaaS platforms. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• The 2024 Web Hosting Report

  Backend as a Service (BaaS) goes back to early 2010’s with companies like Parse and Firebase. These products integrated everything a backend provides to a webapp in a single, integrated package that makes it easier to get started and enables you to offload some of the devops maintenance work to someone else. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Free online DB for production app

  You can try https://parseplatform.org/, it is self-hosted if you need. And also there are a number of cloud services with compatible API, like https://www.back4app.com/ It has dart-friendly generated API client, much simpler than firebase and is built on top of postgresql and mongodb.

• Supabase Series B

  Not to crash the party or anything. Supabase is great and all but in terms of feature completeness and getting actual products built, it doesn't come close to Parse[0]. Same with Appwrite. Both of these are very popular but they either lack essential features or have them behind a subscription wall. For example, the OSS version of Supabase (last I checked) doesn't include the edge functions which are really... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Parse Server or AppWrite

  I was regular user of Parse and after it became open-source I have built around 5-6 projects using Parse, two of them is with Flutter, but that's 1-2 years ago, and back then their Flutter SDK was a bit weak and unofficial, but currently Flutter SDK became official and I am about to start a new project, now I am considering another option AppWrite. Anyone used both and let me know how AppWrite compares to Parse?... Source: almost 3 years ago

• Analytics solution

  Firebase is probably the easiest choice. If you don't want Google in the mix, there's no reason you can't fire up a virtual machine in the cloud that collects statistics for $6/month. If you've never done backend work it'll take a while, though. There's also Parse, AppWrite, Vapor, etc, to make it easier. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Usage or cost limit: does anyone know if it is planned to let users set them up?

  Thanks for the reply. The best bet so far look like keeping on going on with Parse then. Source: about 3 years ago

• Anyone tried AceBase?

  Downside of acebase is that you cant use OR operators for every filter chains are logically AND. If you haven't heard of Parse it might interest you but the cloud hosted is more expensive. As opposite of you, I might play supabase somethiles. Source: over 3 years ago

• Announcing a new Appwrite Release - a step closer to becoming a complete OSS Firebase Alternative
