Convex vs Hasura

Our take

Pick Convex if typeScript app teams who will stay on Free $0 (1M function calls, 0.5 GB database, 1–6 developers) while they ship a prototype, then buy Professional at $25 per developer / month when they need 25M calls, log streaming, and daily backups. Pick Hasura if app teams who will stay on DDN Free at $0 (1 supergraph developer, 15-minute traces, unlimited models) or self-host v3, then move to DDN Base at $5
