Supabase vs Jackett
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Supabase and Jackett — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Supabase vs Jackett: at a glance
What is Supabase?
Supabase is closing its most-exploited default: tables stop being public unless you say so.
The last month is dominated by tightening defaults rather than adding surface. New tables in the public schema will no longer be auto-exposed to the Data and GraphQL APIs, pg_graphql stops being enabled by default, and the OAuth token endpoint is being corrected to return 200 per OAuth 2.1. Alongside that, custom OAuth/OIDC providers landed for Auth and an RLS Tester entered preview.
What is Jackett?
Jackett in pure tracker-maintenance mode, daily domain and category updates only
Jackett ships automated daily builds that consist almost entirely of tracker-library upkeep: domain alternatives, broken selectors, new categories for individual sites. The core indexer-proxy architecture is stable and unchanged. The only user-visible improvement in this window is hiding the API key on the dashboard.

Supabase is closing its most-exploited default: tables stop being public unless you say so.
◆ Current state
The last month is dominated by tightening defaults rather than adding surface. New tables in the public schema will no longer be auto-exposed to the Data and GraphQL APIs, pg_graphql stops being enabled by default, and the OAuth token endpoint is being corrected to return 200 per OAuth 2.1. Alongside that, custom OAuth/OIDC providers landed for Auth and an RLS Tester entered preview.
◆ Where it's heading
Supabase is paying down the security cost of its own convenience. Auto-exposing every public-schema table made the product fast to start with and easy to misconfigure; the fix is explicit Postgres grants, staged over six months from new projects in April to all existing projects on October 30. The RLS Tester is the same theme from the other side — the auto-exposure default only worked if row-level security was correct, and until now there was no way to check.
◆ Prediction
Expect the remaining rollout dates to hold and more of the developer experience to be rebuilt around explicit grants, with the RLS Tester graduating from preview as it becomes the tool people need to verify the new model. The October cutover for existing projects is the moment where this stops being an announcement and starts breaking things.
Jackett
5.0INFRA · APIS
Jackett in pure tracker-maintenance mode, daily domain and category updates only
◆ Current state
Jackett ships automated daily builds that consist almost entirely of tracker-library upkeep: domain alternatives, broken selectors, new categories for individual sites. The core indexer-proxy architecture is stable and unchanged. The only user-visible improvement in this window is hiding the API key on the dashboard.
◆ Where it's heading
The last 10 entries show no feature development — every commit is tracker registration data. Jackett's trajectory is entirely reactive to the torrent ecosystem: trackers move domains, change engines, and die; Jackett follows. There is no observable product initiative in this window.
◆ Prediction
The entries don't support a confident prediction about new feature direction. Daily tracker maintenance will continue as the primary output; any substantive change would come from outside this pattern.
