Manage Branching usage
What you are charged for
Each Preview branch is a separate environment with all Supabase services (Database, Auth, Storage, etc.). You're charged for usage within that environment—such as Compute, Disk Size, Egress, and Storage—just like the project you branched from.
Usage by Preview branches counts toward your subscription plan's quota.
How charges are calculated
Refer to individual usage items for details on how charges are calculated. Branching charges are the sum of all these items.
Usage on your invoice
Compute incurred by Preview branches is shown as "Branching Compute Hours" on your invoice. Other usage items are not shown separately for branches and are rolled up into the project.
Pricing
There is no fixed fee for a Preview branch. You only pay for the usage it incurs. With Compute costs of $0.01344 per hour, a branch running on Micro Compute size starts at $0.32 per day.
Billing examples
The project has a Preview branch "XYZ", that runs for 30 hours, incurring Compute and Egress costs. Disk Size usage remains within the 8 GB included in the subscription plan, so no additional charges apply.

- Delete Preview branches that are no longer in use
- Check whether your persistent branches need to be defined as persistent, or if they can be ephemeral instead. Persistent branches will remain active even after the underlying PR is closed.
