> Few Thousand!?! Sound very reasonable to me. Monetize just two of those users at $35 per month and your server costs are covered

That's one way to look at it, but compared to any other way to run a server, it's objectively terrible. You can serve that many users with a $5 box.

So put Supabase on a $5 box or build out your own replacement backend if your time is that cheap.

I think i mentioned this in my original reply- the app was already built and too integrated with supabase, it is hard to leave

It's open source, self host it. Or find some paying customers.
