Prowler vs Supabase
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Prowler and Supabase — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Prowler vs Supabase: at a glance
What is Prowler?
Prowler's assistant decides what to do with findings; the patches keep the scanner honest
Prowler is shipping a minor release roughly weekly with patches filling the gaps. The agentic layer, Lighthouse, has moved from explaining findings to acting on them, with named skills attached to individual findings and every write path bound to the asking user's RBAC. Alongside that, 5.39.1 fixes an install path that had been quietly broken: 5.38.0 declared a cryptography floor its own dependencies capped below, so pip install prowler silently resolved back to 5.37.1.
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.

◆ Current state
Prowler is shipping a minor release roughly weekly with patches filling the gaps. The agentic layer, Lighthouse, has moved from explaining findings to acting on them, with named skills attached to individual findings and every write path bound to the asking user's RBAC. Alongside that, 5.39.1 fixes an install path that had been quietly broken: 5.38.0 declared a cryptography floor its own dependencies capped below, so pip install prowler silently resolved back to 5.37.1.
◆ Where it's heading
Two tracks run in parallel and rarely overlap. The minor releases push the commercial agentic surface forward — triage skills, page context, the MCP tool set — while the patches defend the parts everyone uses: dependency resolution, container CVEs, and check correctness. That second track matters more than its version numbers suggest, because a security scanner reporting PASS when an API call failed is worse than one that errors. 5.39.1 fixes exactly that in the ECS task-definition checks, and makes the SES public-access check evaluate every identity policy rather than stopping at the first.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next minor to extend Lighthouse skills to groups of findings rather than one at a time, with patch releases continuing to absorb Trivy and base-image CVE churn.
Supabase

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.
