About

Firebase Authentication is a backend authentication service that enables applications to sign in users using email and password, third-party identity providers, email links, and phone numbers.

It offers sign-in with services such as Google, Facebook, Apple, and GitHub, provides ready-made UI components and SDKs for web, iOS, Android, and Unity, supports anonymous accounts, and includes phone and multi-factor authentication if used with Identity Platform.

Supabase is an open-source backend-as-a-service platform based on PostgreSQL.

It provides a hosted Postgres database with RESTful and GraphQL APIs, built-in authentication, secure file storage, support for edge functions written in TypeScript with global deployment, role-based access control, and row-level security.
