BackupDrill Pricing 2026

BackupDrill is a freemium coding & development tool that offers 5 key features including Snapshots the database and Storage files together, which a Supabase restore does not, Scheduled restore drills into a temporary Postgres, verified against a checksummed manifest, Table-count, non-empty-table and sampled SHA-256 file checks with a graded report. BackupDrill exists because of a specific, verifiable gap in how Supabase backups work, and it leads with the gap rather than with the product. Restoring a Supabase database restores the storage.objects table — the metadata — but not the files those rows point at, which live in a separate object store. A restore therefore hands back pointers to files that no longer exist, and the official remedy, point-in-time recovery at $100 a month per project, still skips Storage files. BackupDrill snapshots the database and the Storage files together into a bucket you own on S3, R2 or Backblaze B2, using pg_dump plus a checksummed manifest, with bytes streaming through the service rather than landing on its disks. The genuinely differentiating half is the drill. On a schedule, a temporary Postgres instance restores the latest snapshot and verifies it against the manifest: archive checksum match, table count against the manifest, every populated table restored non-empty, sampled SHA-256 checks on Storage files, and optional application-level invariant checks run as a command. The output is a graded report carrying the measured restore time, and a failure or a snapshot that shrinks more than thirty per cent alerts within fifteen minutes. Setup asks only for the Session Pooler connection string — the plain postgres user, never the service_role key. The backup engine itself is MIT-licensed and installable as a CLI, so the tool can be audited or self-run rather than trusted as a black box.

✅ BackupDrill is a good choice if you need:

• •Snapshots the database and Storage files together, which a Supabase restore does not
• •Scheduled restore drills into a temporary Postgres, verified against a checksummed manifest
• •Table-count, non-empty-table and sampled SHA-256 file checks with a graded report
• •Alerts within 15 minutes on a failed drill or a 30% snapshot size drop
• •MIT-licensed CLI engine and writes to your own S3, R2 or B2 bucket

💡 Value Assessment

With a free tier available, BackupDrill is an easy recommendation for anyone looking to try coding & development tools without financial commitment. The paid plans offer good value for power users who need the additional features and higher usage limits.
