Compare
Da8a vs Nhost
Nhost and Da8a both build a backend around Postgres with auth, storage and functions. The biggest difference is the API style and the client library.
| Topic | Da8a | Nhost |
|---|---|---|
| API | Auto-generated REST API, used through supabase-js | GraphQL API powered by Hasura |
| Client | @supabase/supabase-js | Nhost SDK and GraphQL clients |
| Access control | Row Level Security policies in SQL | Hasura permission rules |
| Functions | Deno edge functions with secrets | Serverless functions in Node.js |
| Where it runs | A dedicated server of your own, managed for you | Nhost’s cloud, or open-source Nhost self-hosted and run by you |
| Pricing model | A flat price per server | Plan tiers plus usage; see Nhost’s pricing page |
This page describes general differences, not every feature. Nhost changes over time; check its own documentation for current details.
Da8a may suit you better if…
- You want REST and supabase-js rather than GraphQL
- You want access rules as SQL policies next to your data
- You prefer a flat price per server, managed for you
