# European Supabase alternatives in 2026

Last updated: 2026-11-10

**Nhost**, a Swedish company, gives you Postgres with a GraphQL API, sign-in, file storage and functions in one product, which makes it a close match for Supabase. If you want Supabase itself, **self-host it on a European server** such as Hetzner. If you only need the database, **Clever Cloud**, **Scaleway** and **Aiven** run managed Postgres from France and Finland.

Supabase does offer six European regions, including Frankfurt and Paris. The company you sign with, though, is Supabase Pte. Ltd. in Singapore, with terms under California law.

## European backend options at a glance

| Platform | Company | What you get | Starts at | Main gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nhost | Sweden | Postgres, GraphQL, Auth, Storage, Functions | Free, then from $25 a month | Not a drop-in for supabase-js |
| Self-hosted Supabase | Your own server | The open-source Supabase stack | Hetzner lists servers from €5.49 a month excl. VAT, but its cheapest plans showed as unavailable on 10 November 2026 | You run backups, patching and uptime |
| Appwrite | Not stated, terms under Israeli law | Databases, Auth, Storage, Functions | Free, dedicated databases from $10 a month | Different API from Supabase |
| Clever Cloud | France | Managed PostgreSQL | Not stated, priced with a calculator | Database only |
| Scaleway | France | Managed PostgreSQL and MySQL | Not stated | Database only |
| Aiven | Helsinki, Finland | Managed PostgreSQL on several clouds | Free, then $5 a month | Free and Developer plans can't pick a region |
| Eurobase | Warsaw, Poland | App hosting that calls your Supabase project | Free, then €10 a month + VAT | No managed Postgres or Auth of its own |

Prices are from each provider's own page, checked on 10 November 2026.

## What to check before you switch

- **Which parts of Supabase you use.** A project that only uses Postgres can move to any managed database. One that relies on Auth, Storage, Realtime and Row Level Security needs a full backend or a self-hosted Supabase.
- **The contracting company, not only the region.** A Frankfurt region run by a company outside the EU may not satisfy a contract that asks for an EU provider. Read [EU region vs EU company](/i/eu-region-vs-eu-company-cloud-act).
- **Client code.** Nhost and Appwrite have their own SDKs. Moving from `supabase-js` means rewriting data access and sign-in calls.
- **Backups and point-in-time recovery.** Check who takes them and how far back you can restore. On a self-hosted stack, the answer is you.
- **Region choice on cheap plans.** Some free tiers place your database for you. Confirm the region before you load real data.

## 1. Nhost

Nhost is run by Nhost AB, a private company in Sweden. Each project gets a dedicated Postgres instance with a Hasura GraphQL API, realtime subscriptions, role-based permissions, user sign-in with OAuth, magic links and 2FA, file storage with image transformation, and serverless functions. Its documentation builds project URLs from a region such as `eu-central-1`.

- **Best for:** teams who want the Supabase bundle from a European company and are happy to work through GraphQL.
- **Price:** Starter is $0 a month with a 1 GB database, one project, and a pause after a week of inactivity. Pro starts at $25 a month with a 10 GB database and point-in-time recovery.
- **What it lacks:** a REST API in the style of PostgREST and compatibility with `supabase-js`.

## 2. Self-hosted Supabase on a European server

Supabase is open source, and its documentation recommends Docker Compose for running it yourself. You keep the same client libraries and the same Postgres, on a server in the country you choose. Hetzner, a German host, lists cloud servers from €5.49 a month excl. VAT for its CPX02 in Helsinki, or €6.49 in Falkenstein or Nuremberg. On 10 November 2026 its cheapest plans showed as unavailable to order, so check what you can actually buy.

- **Best for:** teams already on Supabase who need their data with a European host and have someone to run servers.
- **Price:** the software is free. You pay for the server and its storage.
- **What it lacks:** branching, managed backups, point-in-time recovery and the Management API, according to Supabase. Studio shows a single project. Support comes from the community, and provisioning, patching, backups, scaling and monitoring are your job.

## 3. Appwrite

Appwrite is an open-source backend with databases, Auth, Storage, Functions, Realtime and messaging. Its cloud has a Frankfurt region. Its terms are governed by the laws of Israel and don't name the company or its country.

- **Best for:** apps that want a full backend with a Frankfurt region and don't need the Supabase API.
- **Price:** a free plan, which freezes the project when you reach a limit. Dedicated databases start at $10 a month per database for 1 core and 1 GB of memory.
- **What it lacks:** a Supabase-compatible API. Its default database is TablesDB, with PostgreSQL listed among the options.

## 4. Clever Cloud PostgreSQL

Clever Cloud hosts its platform in datacenters it operates in France. Its PostgreSQL service supports versions 14 to 18, takes a backup every night by default with one-click restores, and can add up to two read replicas through support. Clever Cloud says the data is hosted in France and not subject to the Cloud Act.

- **Best for:** apps that need only Postgres, ideally next to an app also hosted on Clever Cloud.
- **Price:** by plan size, estimated with its calculator. New accounts get free credits with no card.
- **What it lacks:** Auth, Storage and an instant API. You build those in your app.

## 5. Scaleway Managed Databases

Scaleway is a French cloud provider. Its Managed Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL handles provisioning and configuration, with automatic backups, a high-availability mode, read replicas and encryption at rest.

- **Best for:** teams already on Scaleway who want a plain managed Postgres in the same account.
- **What it lacks:** Auth, Storage and an instant API.

## 6. Aiven for PostgreSQL

Aiven is headquartered in Helsinki, Finland, and runs PostgreSQL on clouds such as AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, DigitalOcean, OVH and UpCloud. It lists automatic failover, point-in-time recovery and more than 50 extensions.

- **Best for:** teams who want a European company managing Postgres on the cloud they already use.
- **Price:** Free at $0 and Developer at $5 a month. Startup starts at $75 a month.
- **What it lacks:** region choice on Free and Developer, so a European location isn't guaranteed there. Pick Hobbyist or higher for that. It's a database, not a backend.

## 7. Eurobase, next to Supabase

Eurobase isn't a Supabase replacement. It hosts the app, and your app keeps using a Supabase project for its database, sign-in, files and Edge Functions. Eurobase runs apps on European infrastructure, so create the Supabase project in a European region; the [Eurobase + Supabase guide](/docs/supabase) shows how to connect it.

What works depends on how your app runs. A Worker reaches Supabase over HTTPS, with `supabase-js` for data, Auth, Storage and Edge Functions, but can't open a Postgres connection. A container can also use Prisma, Drizzle, pg or psycopg through the Supabase pooler.

- **Best for:** hosting a Next.js, Nuxt or other web app in Europe while the data stays in Supabase.
- **Price:** a Free plan, then Starter at €10 and Pro at €20 a month + VAT for the workspace.
- **What it lacks:** managed Postgres, MySQL or Redis of its own. The Supabase company question above still applies to your data.

## How to choose

- Pick **Nhost** if you want the whole backend from an EU company and can adapt your client code.
- Pick **self-hosted Supabase** if you want to keep your code and can operate a server.
- Pick **Clever Cloud**, **Scaleway** or **Aiven** if Postgres is all you use and you'll handle sign-in another way.
- Pick **Appwrite** if a Frankfurt region is enough and its API suits a new project.
- Add **Eurobase** for the app itself, with Supabase or any of the databases above behind it.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does Supabase have servers in the EU?

Yes. It lists Ireland, London, Paris, Frankfurt, Zurich and Stockholm, plus a general Europe option that picks one for you. Choose a named region if you have residency rules. The contracting company is in Singapore.

### Is there a European company like Supabase?

Nhost, from Sweden, bundles Postgres, a GraphQL API, sign-in, storage and functions in one product. It's the nearest in scope among the options here.

### Can I run Supabase myself in Europe?

Yes. Supabase publishes a Docker Compose setup you can run on a European server. Branching, managed backups and point-in-time recovery aren't included, so plan those yourself.

### Can I use Supabase with an app hosted on Eurobase?

Yes. Workers use `supabase-js` over HTTPS, and containers can also connect through the Supabase pooler. The direct connection isn't reachable from Eurobase because it's IPv6 only.

### What's the simplest European managed Postgres?

If you only need a database, Clever Cloud and Scaleway both manage PostgreSQL in France, and Aiven runs it from Finland on several clouds. None of them adds Auth or Storage.
