Supabase vs. Keycloak
Supabase
Supabase is the open-source alternative to Firebase. Like Firebase, it's a complete app development platform with user authentication, cloud functions, APIs, Postgres database, storage, vector embeddings, and other features. Supabase projects come with PostgreSQL's policy engine for fine-grained user access rules. It has social login integrations with Google, Facebook, GitHub, Azure (Microsoft), Gitlab, Twitter, Discord, and many more. They offer a customizable authentication component for React. Phone login and MFA can be added through third-party SMS providers such as Twilio or Bird. The free tier comes with 50,000 monthly active users. The Pro plan, at $25/month, comes with 100,000 MAUs and $0.00325/MAU beyond that.
Keycloak
Keycloak is an open source identity and access management solution. It supports Keycloak single-sign-on and OpenID Connect or SAML 2.0 Identity Providers (Google, Facebook, GitHub etc).

Frequently Asked Questions
Supabase and Keycloak serve slightly different purposes, which could affect your decision based on your needs. Supabase is a comprehensive app development platform that provides not only user authentication but also a Postgres database, storage, and other features. It is particularly strong in social login integrations and offers a customizable authentication component for React. Keycloak, on the other hand, is an open-source identity and access management solution focused on single-sign-on and supports protocols like OpenID Connect and SAML 2.0. If you need an all-in-one development platform, Supabase might be better. However, if your focus is on robust identity and access management, Keycloak could be more suitable.
Supabase offers a free tier with 50,000 monthly active users and a Pro plan at $25/month for 100,000 MAUs, with additional users costing $0.00325 each. Keycloak is open-source and free to use, but you may incur costs related to hosting and maintaining the service yourself. If you are looking for a managed service with predictable costs, Supabase might be the more cost-effective option. If you have the resources to manage your own infrastructure, Keycloak could be more economical in the long run.
