SimpleBackups alternative for Supabase
Claims checked against vendor documentation on 10 August 2026.
The short answer
SimpleBackups and ReviveDB both back up more than the database: Postgres, Storage objects, Edge Functions and configuration. If writing backups to a bucket you own is the deciding factor, SimpleBackups does that and ReviveDB does not. If you want every database backup automatically restored into a separate PostgreSQL instance and checked, without configuring storage yourself, that is what ReviveDB adds.
Choose SimpleBackups when
Backups must land in infrastructure you control.
- Writes to your own S3, R2, Hetzner or one of many other destinations.
- Covers far more than Supabase: servers, other databases, SaaS tools.
- From 49 dollars per month excluding VAT, so it costs more at small scale.
Choose ReviveDB when
Supabase is what you need protected, and you want the backup verified.
- Every database backup is restored into isolated PostgreSQL and checked against a capture-time inventory.
- European storage by default, with no bucket to configure.
- Connects through Supabase OAuth, so your production password is never stored.
- From 9 euro per month, VAT included.

- 1Supabase does not expose every project setting to OAuth applications, so no third-party tool can capture all of it. ReviveDB scores this partial because it captures the settings Supabase does expose, never copies secret values, and lists whatever it could not capture as named manual steps in the recovery report. A tool claiming full configuration coverage is working within the same platform limit.
- 2Restore-tested means the database dump is restored into an isolated PostgreSQL instance and compared against a capture-time inventory, on every backup. For ReviveDB this covers the database. Storage object bytes and Edge Function bundles are verified by SHA-256 hash instead. Where a vendor does not document a restore test, this is recorded as not documented rather than as an absence.
