SaaS Sentinel vs Supapad

Q: How do pricing and access compare?

Supapad requires macOS 14.4 Sonoma or later and a hosted Supabase account. It offers seven days with everything unlocked, then one project remains free; Pro costs $19.99 paid once. SaaS Sentinel is available through early access by approval. SaaS Sentinel pricing: Not stated publicly

Supapad is strongest for Mac users who want to monitor multiple Supabase projects, retain local history and inspect databases without changing them. A buyer would pick SaaS Sentinel instead for customer-separated monitoring that combines application health, Lovable checks, operating costs and licence margins.

Supapad is a native Mac app focused on hosted Supabase projects across organisations, with monitoring data kept on the user's Mac. SaaS Sentinel organises monitoring around customers and their applications, covering Supabase alongside website availability, publishing, branding and financial reporting.
