Add sign-in and a database to your app

When you extend your exported app with accounts, logins or stored data: three providers compared and the keys you need.

  1. Extension: sign-in & database

    With the provider

    Time: ≈ 15 minutesCost: free plan, then from about $25 a month

    1. Your Geckify app runs without it. You only need it once you or a developer extend the code with accounts, logins or stored data.
    2. Create a Supabase project (free plan) and copy the project URL plus the publishable key.
    3. Store both as environment variables at your host — never in the code.
    Commands to copy
    VITE_SUPABASE_URL=https://<project>.supabase.co
    VITE_SUPABASE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=<publishable-key>
    VITE_STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=pk_live_<...>
    RESEND_API_KEY=re_<...>

    Three reputable providers — your choice

    • Supabase

      Free: 2 projects, 500 MB database, 50,000 users a month

      Then: Pro $25 a month

      pauses after 1 week without activity; Frankfurt region available
    • Firebase

      Free: sign-in for 50,000 users a month, 1 GiB database, no card

      Then: Blaze: pay as you go

      sign-in runs only in US data centres; file storage needs Blaze
    • Appwrite

      Free: 2 projects, 75,000 users a month

      Then: Pro from $25 a month

      Frankfurt region; pauses after 7 days without Console activity
    As of 23 Sep 2026; prices may change. Geckify earns nothing from any of these recommendations.
