Lovable Cloud to Supabase
Migration Cost (2026)
DIY migration is free. Professional migration starts at $300. Here's exactly what each costs — and why most founders choose professional.
Can You Migrate Lovable Cloud to Supabase for Free?
Yes — DIY migration costs $0. Supabase has a free tier and the migration process uses no paid tools. However, DIY migration requires significant engineering time:
- Database export & transform: 8–20 hours
- Auth user migration: 4–8 hours
- Storage migration & URL re-mapping: 2–6 hours
- Frontend SDK swap: 4–12 hours
- Testing & go-live: 8–16 hours
Total: 26–62 hours of engineering work (2–4 weeks part-time). At an average developer rate of $75/hour, that's $1,950–$4,650 in engineering cost — plus high risk of errors.

Migration Cost FAQs
Can I migrate Lovable Cloud to Supabase for free?
Yes. DIY migration uses only free tools — Supabase free tier, standard CLI tools, and custom scripts. The cost is your engineering time: typically 26–62 hours. Our professional service starts at $300 and saves you weeks of work.
What's included in the $300 Basic migration?
The Basic plan includes: full database migration with validation, auth user transfer (no password resets), storage CDN move with URL re-mapping, TypeScript type generation, and 7 days of post-migration support.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Every plan includes a rollback guarantee. If migration fails or your app has issues, we revert to Lovable Cloud at zero cost to you. You never pay for a failed migration.
Does the cost include Supabase subscription fees?
No — our migration fee covers the migration service only. Supabase subscription is separate: free tier for small apps, $25/month Pro for growing apps. This is typically 40–70% less than your current Lovable Cloud bill.
Are there any hidden fees after migration?
None. Our pricing is flat-rate and everything listed in the plan is included. The only ongoing cost is your Supabase subscription, which starts free and scales predictably.
