why would i use this instead of just paying Hasura?

in other words: what’s your moat?

Just paying Hasura gets you just Hasura (at least before Neon it used to)

NHost gets you Hasura, the underlying postgres db, pre-configured auth with JWTs, blob storage, functions and a client-side library to get all of that working together with nearly zero configuration.

edit: also, Hasura's cheapest offering ($100 / month) is still prohibitively expensive for indie projects (That's just Hasura - you would have to add database costs, auth costs and blob storage costs to that $100).

Just to add to the comment: you also have backups, automatic logs on all services, raw access to postgres (you can do whatever you want with it), custom integration with stripe, plus specific dashboard for users, database, and storage.

It's freaking crazy

Here's an image that illustrate it well: https://i.imgur.com/5Zn8tfS.png (from our website).

We also provide SDKs in JS, TS, React, Next.js, and Vue: https://docs.nhost.io/reference/javascript
