FAQ
›Is Supabase or Grafana Cloud cheaper?
Pricing varies by tier and usage; both vendors publish current rates on their websites.
›When should I pick Supabase over Grafana Cloud?

›Can I migrate from Supabase to Grafana Cloud later?
Most modern SaaS supports CSV/JSON export for the core data model. The migration cost is integration work — every Zapier workflow, every webhook URL, every API token has to be re-wired. Budget 2-4 weeks of engineering time for a non-trivial production migration.
