WorkOS versus Supabase
Compare	WorkOS	Supabase
Verdict	Depends	Depends
Best for	B2B SaaS selling to enterprises	Developer teams wanting Postgres plus auth, APIs, and storage
Who it's not for	Apps with no enterprise customers . pure overkill	Non-technical teams wanting a no-code database
Privacy	No known public vulnerabilities found in the sources reviewed.^²	Strong on paper: SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA (with BAA), AES-256 at rest, TLS in transit, regular pen tests.¹⁰
Support quality	G2: very good docs and support	No support evidence reviewed
Public sentiment	A small but positive sample praising developer-friendliness, documentation, and support.^³	No independent user reviews were found in the sources reviewed.
Biggest gotcha	Guess: lock-in . once SSO and directory sync run through WorkOS, ripping it out means rework^¹	Shared responsibility model: misconfigured RLS policies or leaked API keys are your problem, not theirs.¹⁰
