I am creating a mini social network on Next.js for the Sierra Club Wilderness Travel Course. I am looking for suggestions on a service like supabase. Before I put a ton of work adding a certain service into my site, I'd love to know if people have also tried AppWrite, Convex, PocketBase, or others please.
The features I am looking to implement are: Auth, Database, file storage, and Chat (so probably some sort of realtime ability). One main consideration is because I am creating the site for a non-profit, they have little money to spend, so I'm doing it for free but they also can't spend a ton monthly. I don't anticipate having more than 1000 MAU's so our main considerations are a cheap or free plan that covers the features mentioned and hopefully a great api and developer docs for me. Thanks for your feedback 🙂

I ended up going with convex and I'm really pleased. There needs to be a bigger community around it cause it's hard to find detailed tutorials but the content they have on their own site is pretty great.
