Supabase vs Pressable
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Supabase and Pressable — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Supabase vs Pressable: at a glance
What is Supabase?
Supabase is closing its most-exploited default: tables stop being public unless you say so.
The last month is dominated by tightening defaults rather than adding surface. New tables in the public schema will no longer be auto-exposed to the Data and GraphQL APIs, pg_graphql stops being enabled by default, and the OAuth token endpoint is being corrected to return 200 per OAuth 2.1. Alongside that, custom OAuth/OIDC providers landed for Auth and an RLS Tester entered preview.
What is Pressable?
Pressable is shipping near-daily, and MCP is being maintained as a peer surface to its API.
Six feature releases in five days. Two add bulk operations — installing and deleting themes, installing and activating or deactivating plugins across sites. The others cover AI Assistant collaborator management, WordPress beta version selection, global MCP token revocation, and site creator attributes exposed across the dashboard, the API and MCP together. Entry bodies are empty in the feed, so scope has to be read from titles.

Supabase is closing its most-exploited default: tables stop being public unless you say so.
◆ Current state
The last month is dominated by tightening defaults rather than adding surface. New tables in the public schema will no longer be auto-exposed to the Data and GraphQL APIs, pg_graphql stops being enabled by default, and the OAuth token endpoint is being corrected to return 200 per OAuth 2.1. Alongside that, custom OAuth/OIDC providers landed for Auth and an RLS Tester entered preview.
◆ Where it's heading
Supabase is paying down the security cost of its own convenience. Auto-exposing every public-schema table made the product fast to start with and easy to misconfigure; the fix is explicit Postgres grants, staged over six months from new projects in April to all existing projects on October 30. The RLS Tester is the same theme from the other side — the auto-exposure default only worked if row-level security was correct, and until now there was no way to check.
◆ Prediction
Expect the remaining rollout dates to hold and more of the developer experience to be rebuilt around explicit grants, with the RLS Tester graduating from preview as it becomes the tool people need to verify the new model. The October cutover for existing projects is the moment where this stops being an announcement and starts breaking things.
Pressable
5.0INFRA · APIS
Pressable is shipping near-daily, and MCP is being maintained as a peer surface to its API.
◆ Current state
Six feature releases in five days. Two add bulk operations — installing and deleting themes, installing and activating or deactivating plugins across sites. The others cover AI Assistant collaborator management, WordPress beta version selection, global MCP token revocation, and site creator attributes exposed across the dashboard, the API and MCP together. Entry bodies are empty in the feed, so scope has to be read from titles.
◆ Where it's heading
Two things stand out. Bulk operations across themes and plugins are what a host ships when customers manage fleets of sites rather than one, and they are the prerequisite for an agent doing the same work. Separately, MCP is not being treated as an add-on: new attributes ship to dashboard, API and MCP in the same release, and MCP tokens got a global revocation control — which is a host acknowledging that agent credentials need their own kill switch.
◆ Prediction
Expect more surfaces to ship to dashboard, API and MCP simultaneously, and further agent-credential controls alongside the AI Assistant work.
