The Verdict
Supabase is built for developers and startups, with a focus on postgres-database and authentication. Typeform targets marketers and researchers and leads with conversational-forms and logic-jumps.
Both tools come in at similar price points ($25/mo for Supabase, $25/mo for Typeform), so pricing won't make the decision for you.
Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
Feature-wise, Supabase offers broader built-in capabilities (7 features vs 6), while Typeform takes a more focused approach — which can mean a simpler, faster onboarding experience.
Bottom line: Supabase has a slight overall edge — but if beautiful conversational ui matters most to you, Typeform may still be the right call.
