Hosting cost calculator
A Supabase Pro + Vercel Pro stack next to PocketBase Cloud's flat plans: the monthly bill, and a calculator for your own stack. Published list rates, no invented usage profile.
Three subscriptions, or one flat $10.
Each covers part of the job. That is why you pay all three.

Published list rates, linked above and read 27 August 2026. The stack total covers Supabase Pro (one project, then $10 per extra project compute), Vercel Pro, Supabase egress past the included 250 GB, and — when you add a backend — one Render Starter service at $7, since Vercel Pro covers functions rather than a persistent container. Netlify is not in the total: its billing is credit-based, and a site count does not convert without inventing a usage profile. Vercel's own on-demand rates vary by region and are not modelled here, so the stack figure is conservative.
Both sides are priced at the paid tiers a production app needs, so the stack starts at $45 while PocketBase Cloud tops out at $25 — the flat plans come out lower at every setting on this page. PocketBase Cloud also has a Free plan for a single instance, capped at 500 API requests an hour, which is not modelled above. Plan prices come from thepricing page.
Put your whole stack on one flat plan.
