I've used supabase before, and it's cool, rlly cool, but I don't know sql and previously i vibe coded the sql.

Also i have a question; if I host my own db with postgres or whatever , it will be hosted on my pc right? So there'll be no 'pro plan' needed or whatever

Based on your title
there is no best "db", it depends on usecase + personal preference
based on your question, yes, you can host your own db, and there's no such thing as any plans, but once you run out of resources, you'll have to manually update your db
and handle downtimes incase any
I love using relational db's with nextjs but as the previous response said, it depends on your usecase. I love postgres but then i love mongodb if i didn't have a strong need for relationships.
Y'all have any good no-sql suggestions? Im down to learn sql for supabase tho, also if I make some money with my app (hopefully possible with free tier of supabase), i can handle supabase pro costs
