## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-30 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Searched. "Agency" splits into two very different buying patterns here, so I've ordered by the one I'd bet you're in - many client projects, each small-to-medium, that you need to provision fast and hand off or bill through. Here's what I'd actually name:
> 
> **1. Neon** - my default recommendation for agencies right now. Serverless Postgres with scale-to-zero, so the 12 client projects nobody has touched in three months cost you almost nothing in compute. Project-per-client is a documented, API-drivable pattern (1,000 projects per org on Scale), and separate projects mean no chance of cross-client data leakage - which matters when you're signing DPAs. Copy-on-write branching gives every client a staging DB for near-zero storage. Prices dropped hard after the Databricks acquisition (storage $1.75 → $0.35/GB-month). ([neon.com](https://neon.com/use-cases/database-per-tenant), [selfhost.dev](https://selfhost.dev/blog/managed-postgresql-comparison-2026/))
> 
> **2. Supabase** - pick this when the client work is "build the whole app," not just the DB. Auth, storage, realtime, and edge functions come bundled, which kills a chunk of your build hours. Pro is $25/mo per project with an SLA on nat
