Hey everyone 👋

I’m currently building a crypto Saas and I’m at a decision point regarding the backend setup.

Right now, my stack includes Lovable + Vercel, and I’ve been exploring two options for handling the database:

Using Lovable Cloud as the database (fully integrated, simpler workflow)

Using Supabase (more control, dedicated backend, scalable)

I’d love to get your feedback based on real experience 🙏

👉 For those who’ve used both:

Which one do you recommend for a SaaS project?

Any limitations or issues with Lovable Cloud?

Is Supabase worth the extra setup/complexity in the long run?

If you're building a serious SaaS, I would lean towards Supabase. More control and scalability matter a lot once users start growing. Lovable Cloud is good for speed, but can feel limiting later.

Same support inbox, one difference. Left keeps a human on every send. Right lets the AI send on its own once the draft confidence passes 90, refunds and cancellations excluded.

I built both in Relay this week and I still cannot decide.

Would you flip that switch for your own customers, and at what number?

I'd flip it per topic, not per score. A 90 on a question the AI has answered hundreds of times is safe. A 90 on a question it has never seen is still a guess. Can Relay set a different threshold per topic?
