Sentiment score
5.6
Supabase excels in small to medium applications but requires optimization for larger scales; free tier benefits startups.
As our data volumes grow, we can expand resources without significant performance degradation.
SDE III at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
SingleStore's scalability is really nice, as the process model includes master aggregator and slave aggregators or child aggregators, making it very well scalable both vertically and horizontally.
Vice President, Research & Development at a computer software company with 11-50 employees
SingleStore's scalability is high and it can be used by any size of organization and can handle any needs of any organization.
Senior Software Engineer at Honeywell
As we move toward larger scales, such as multi-million vectors, it requires careful engineering to maintain predictable performance.
Product Engineer at a tech vendor with 11-50 employees
I have basically used it for small teams, not large teams that need to cover thousands of users.

8.2
SingleStore is praised for stability, handling large workloads with few downtimes, featuring appreciated redundancy for seamless operations.
Sentiment score
7.6
Supabase Vector is stable and reliable, with occasional downtime in India, mainly due to coding errors, not the platform.
It handles large workloads and maintains consistent performance very well overall.

Automation Specialist at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
 

Room For Improvement

SingleStore needs improved SQL features, documentation, training, error messaging, integrations, dashboards, migration, and monitoring for enhanced performance.
Supabase Vector needs improved documentation and support, better performance, scalability, indexing, and enhanced tool integration and language support.
Error handling needs attention. When it fails due to memory, it only indicates that but not exactly in which process it failed.
Senior Software Engineer at Honeywell
The data which is sent to DataDog sometimes does not match with the SingleStore dashboard.
Devops Engineer at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees
Better documentation for advanced use cases, especially where data volumes are very high and queries are frequent, would help us manage the feature more efficiently.
SDE III at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
Better query debugging tools and built-in evaluation toolkits for vector search would be incredibly helpful for developers.
Product Engineer at a tech vendor with 11-50 employees
If they could make the debugging process clearer to prevent the error messages, that will make development faster for web-coded apps.
Automation Specialist at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
For index optimization guidance, clearer instructions on when to use IVFFlat versus HNSW indexes would be helpful.
AI Solutions Lead at ADP
 

Setup Cost

SingleStore offers transparent pricing with cloud and bare-metal options, deemed cost-effective long-term, with free initial on-premises licenses.
Supabase provides flexible pricing with a free tier and paid plans, ensuring scalability and cost efficiency for various projects.
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it can be a bit expensive for startups.
Senior Software Engineer at Honeywell
The setup cost was surprisingly good, and our transfer to Helios was almost seamless, as far as databases go, and it was not expensive.
Vice President, Research & Development at a computer software company with 11-50 employees
It was amazing to be able to create all this technology for free, without the need to pay additional costs to use those technologies, apart from the embeddings ones from Google.
Co-Founder at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
For now, I think the pricing is perfect because every business person can afford it and a developer can afford that price.
Automation Specialist at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
I utilize the free tier, which includes a 500 MB database with vector support at no cost, allowing support for millions of embeddings.
AI Solutions Lead at ADP
 

Valuable Features

SingleStore excels with speed, scalability, and efficiency, offering robust data handling and seamless integration with multiple protocols.
Supabase Vector offers easy setup, cost-efficiency, PostgreSQL, SQL with vector search, improving database operations through streamlined, secure features.
SingleStore has impacted my organization positively by enabling us to run low-latency analytics and model-driven use cases at scale, which is quite difficult for OLAP and OLTP databases alone.
Senior Software Engineer at Honeywell
A very nice and useful feature is its compatibility with MySQL API, letting any system that can connect to MySQL also connect to SingleStore, thus solving many interoperability issues with different systems.
Vice President, Research & Development at a computer software company with 11-50 employees
The best features SingleStore offers in my experience are the excellent team support and the very good UI.
Devops Engineer at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees
We have Supabase basically as the host of most of our business relational database and user data, so since the client's applications are migrating to language model-empowered features, it is very useful, and we do not need to register for other database types.
Director at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
Supabase Vector is a managed service, so I do not need to worry about scaling the database and managing the infrastructure.
Senior Full Stack Engineer at a tech vendor with 11-50 employees
Supabase Vector has positively impacted my organization by significantly reducing our testing time.

Kelvin  Ben - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Software Engineer at Honeywell
Real-time analytics has transformed daily decisions and delivers fast dashboards from streaming data
The best features SingleStore offers include fast data recovery and data compression by 80 percent. Having the information in sheets helps me to process the information quickly. Simplicity in T-SQL is another aspect I appreciate. Data recovery and sheet-based processing help my team on a day-to-day basis by enabling us to handle information efficiently. I would like to add that the data compression by 80 percent helps us in an excellent way since we are very fast in obtaining the data for our dashboards and the compression of the information is great. SingleStore has impacted my organization positively by enabling us to run low-latency analytics and model-driven use cases at scale, which is quite difficult for OLAP and OLTP databases alone. It has been very helpful because our internal clients are happy to have the data and make data-driven decisions easily. Making decisions based on data within a two-hour delay to the transactional database is excellent since we went from twenty-four hours to two hours. I think the best contribution is decision-making with data that is close to reality. Reducing that delay from twenty-four hours to two hours has significantly affected my team and business outcomes by increasing productivity. We have been able to serve all our customers, and they are very happy. We can deliver to them on time.

Semantic search has transformed client sites and drives faster projects with higher conversions
Adapting to Supabase Vector was relatively smooth, but there was definitely a moderate learning curve at the start. The SQL foundation, REST API, documentation, and integration with all the AI tools made it easier. However, understanding embeddings, index types, similarity metrics, and how SQL and vector hybrid queries work, as well as the RLS policies for vectors, required some time to learn. I do not have many things to point out, but a couple of areas for improvement come to mind. For index optimization guidance, clearer instructions on when to use IVFFlat versus HNSW indexes would be helpful. Additionally, having a built-in embedding generation capability would simplify the workflow, as currently, I use external services such as OpenAI or Hugging Face for that purpose.
