Google Cloud Run vs Supabase

Head-to-head, indicative as of Oct 2026. Prices change — always confirm on the vendor page.

Verdict

Quick read: pick Google Cloud Run if your workload is any container without rewrite; gpu jobs available and its pricing model fits your traffic shape; pick Supabase if you need postgres, auth, storage without a backend team. For anything latency-sensitive at the edge, cold start row is the tiebreaker.
