Organization-based Billing, Project Transfers, Team Plan

31 Aug 2023 · 13 minute read

Supabase is updating its billing system with organization-based billing, project transfers, and a self-serve Team Plan. Changes include an extra 1GB of egress on the Free Plan and more generous quotas overall.

Moving from project-based to org-based billing

Previously, each project had an individual subscription, plan and add-ons. Now subscriptions move to the organization level. Each organization has a single subscription with a single plan (Free, Pro, Team or Enterprise). Project add-ons such as compute upgrades, custom domains, and PITR are still configured per project.

Quota/Features per organization

Quotas and features are granted across your entire organization. Usage is summed across all projects in a single monthly invoice. Upgrading to a paid plan unlocks benefits for all projects in that organization.

You can create multiple organizations on different plans. For example, two Pro Plan organizations at $25 each with one project each provides the same quotas as today, but additional databases cost $0.01344/hour (roughly $10/month).

Free Plan

An extra 1GB of egress is included for free, unified across your organization.

Usage Item	Old plan	New plan
Egress	4GB (2GB Database + 2GB Storage)	5GB across Database + Storage
Database Space	500MB	500MB
Storage Space	1GB	1GB
Monthly Active Users	50,000 MAU	50,000 MAU
Edge Function Invocations	500K	500K
Edge Function Count	10	10
Realtime Message Count	2 million	2 million
Realtime Peak Connections	200	200

Users currently running 2 free projects must create a new "Free org" and transfer one project into it before the end of October.

No more upfront payments for databases

Compute billing moves from upfront monthly payments to hourly usage. Changing compute no longer triggers immediate charges. Only active instances count towards compute usage; paused projects do not.

Unified Egress

Egress quotas are now unified across all services (Storage, Realtime, Auth, Database). You get a total quota (e.g., 250GB on Pro Plan) usable for anything, with a breakdown available on the usage page.

Fewer invoices

Each organization receives a single invoice instead of one per project. Launching new projects, removing old ones, and upgrading/downgrading compute no longer triggers additional invoices.

Project Transfers

Projects can now be transferred between organizations without manual migration via pgdump or CLI.

Self-Serve Team Plan

The Team Plan is now fully self-serve. Users can upgrade or downgrade organizations to/from the Team Plan. Benefits include:

• Additional organization member roles
• Daily backups stored for 14 days
• Standardised Security Questionnaire
• SSO for Supabase Dashboard
• Priority email support & SLAs
• 28-day log retention
• SOC2 Certifications
• HIPAA add-on capability

Customer Migration Plan

Starting 4 September 2023, all new organizations use Organization-based Billing. Existing customers will be migrated over a few weeks. Self-serve migration is available starting the first week of September.

Glimpse into the future

Upcoming features include:

• Improved usage stats with near real-time data and deeper drill-down
• More cost control with fine-grained control replacing the current spend cap
• Usage and budget monitoring with configurable alerts

FAQs

What happens to the 2 Free Plan projects?
The 2 free project limit remains. You can have two Free Plan organizations with one project each.

What happens to the spend cap?
The spend cap is now organization-level. Fine-grained cost control tools are in development.

Am I going to pay a different amount?
Most customers will pay less due to more free egress and cheaper multi-project pricing on Pro Plan within a single organization.

Does the migration come with any downtime?
No service disruptions occur during migration.
