### How much does it cost?

|
|

### How do I host Supabase?
|

Supabase is an amalgamation of open source tools. Some of these tools are made by Supabase (like our [Realtime Server](https://github.com/supabase/realtime)), some we support directly (like [PostgREST](http://postgrest.org/en/v7.0.0/)), and some are third-party tools (like [KonSupabase is an amalgamation open sourceg](https://github.com/Kong/kong)).
|
|
|
|
All of the tools we use in Supabase are MIT, Apache 2.0, or PostgreSQL licensed. This is one of the requirements to be considered for the Supabase stack.

|
|
### How can you be a Firebase alternative if you're built with a relational database?
|
|
|
|
We started Supabase because we love the functionality of Firebase, but we personally experienced the scaling issues that many others experienced. We chose Postgres because it's well-trusted, with phenomenal scalability.
|
|
|
|
Our goal is to make Postgres as easy to use as Firebase, so that you no longer have to choose between usability and scalability.
|
|
We're sure that once you start using Postgres, you'll love it more than any other database.
|
|
|
|
### Do you support `[some other database]`?
|
|
|
|
We only support PostgreSQL. It's unlikely we'll ever move away from Postgres; however, you can [vote on a new database](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/discussions/6) if you want us to start development.
|
|
|
|
### Do you have a library for `[some other language]`?
|
|
|
|
We officially support [JavaScript](/docs/reference/javascript/installing) and [Dart](/docs/reference/dart/installing).
|
|
|
|
You can find community-supported libraries in our [GitHub Community](https://github.com/supabase-community), and you can also help us to identify the most popular languages by [voting for a new client library](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/discussions/5).
