Supabase vs. Italki
Supabase
Supabase is the open-source alternative to Firebase. Like Firebase, it's a complete app development platform with user authentication, cloud functions, APIs, Postgres database, storage, vector embeddings, and other features. Supabase projects come with PostgreSQL's policy engine for fine-grained user access rules. It has social login integrations with Google, Facebook, GitHub, Azure (Microsoft), Gitlab, Twitter, Discord, and many more. They offer a customizable authentication component for React. Phone login and MFA can be added through third-party SMS providers such as Twilio or Bird. The free tier comes with 50,000 monthly active users. The Pro plan, at $25/month, comes with 100,000 MAUs and $0.00325/MAU beyond that.
Italki
Italki is a platform connecting language teachers, mostly native speakers, with students. You can book, pay, and schedule your classes directly through their website. The classes are one on one, just you and the teacher, and conducted over a video call. I used Italki successfully before going to Thailand for the first time. My wife who is Thai gave me an Italki gift card. There are plenty of teachers to chose from and the rates are affordable. You'll pay anywhere from $10 to about $20 for a class.
