Too expensive for what it offers. Plenty of open-source alternatives.

80/100 · ship

Hasura-powered GraphQL over Postgres with auth and storage. The GraphQL-first approach is powerful for complex data needs.

Skeptic

Solid execution. Does what it promises and the DX is clean.

If you want GraphQL, Nhost is the best BaaS option. Hasura's automatic GraphQL from Postgres is genuinely useful.

Interesting concept but the execution isn't there yet. Give it 6 months.

GraphQL adoption has plateaued. tRPC and REST are simpler for most use cases. Nhost's bet on GraphQL is risky.
