Sure, Supabase utilizes PostgREST as its underlying technology, granting you unrestricted access to your assigned database. Unlike AppWrite, there are no limitations imposed on writing custom functions in SQL, which can be subsequently referenced through the API. AppWrite, on the other hand, confines you to using edge functions for any required customizations. Additionally, it appears that AppWrite employs a NoSQL database, at least in the user-provided information. In terms of authentication capabilities, Supabase outshines AppWrite by offering robust options for configuring any OAuth Provider, facilitating seamless logins. While my knowledge is based on the free plan, differences in the paid plans might exist.
