🔐 Faable Authvs Supabase Auth

Faable Auth vs Supabase Auth

Short answer: Faable Auth and Supabase Auth are both managed authentication services, but Supabase Auth is designed as part of the Supabase backend (Postgres + APIs), while Faable Auth is a standalone, multi-tenant OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect identity server you can put in front of any stack. Faable Auth is hosted 100% in Europe under GDPR, offers first-class enterprise SSO/SAML and machine-to-machine tokens, and is bundled with Faable Deploy — without requiring you to adopt a specific database.

Competitor capabilities and tiers change frequently — confirm current details on each vendor’s own pricing and docs.

When Faable Auth is the better fit

  • You want identity independent of your database. Faable Auth sits in front of any backend; you’re not adopting Postgres + RLS to get auth.
  • You’re building multi-tenant B2B SaaS and want multi-tenancy, SSO, and M2M without extra plumbing.
  • You need European data sovereignty under GDPR.
  • You want auth and hosting together via Faable Deploy in one subscription.

When Supabase Auth might fit better

  • You’re already building on Supabase (Postgres, storage, edge functions) and want auth tightly integrated with row-level security in the same database.
  • You want the all-in-one Supabase developer experience for a single-tenant app.
