Tenviq vs Supastarter

Both are serious B2B starters. The split is mostly about your database and auth preferences.

The decision, in two lists

One of these should describe your project.

Pick Supastarter if

  • your entire stack is already anchored around Supabase
  • you want row-level security policies as your primary authorization layer
  • you value Supabase's hosted auth, storage, and realtime out of the box
  • you like Drizzle as your ORM and do not need Prisma tooling

Pick Tenviq if

  • you want Prisma's schema ergonomics and migration workflow
  • you prefer authorization handled in application code, not SQL policies
  • you want the freedom to host Postgres anywhere (Neon, Supabase, RDS, self-host)
  • you want better-auth's flexibility for B2B flows (orgs, 2FA, OAuth linking)
