Which should you pick?

Google offers the larger headline amount ($2,000 (Start) to $350,000 (Scale AI) in Google Cloud credits usable on Firebase versus $300 via AWS Activate; YC/accelerator credits not published). Google accepts a wider range of funding stages, while Supabase is more targeted. Note that only Google is fully verified against its official page; double-check the other before relying on it. If you qualify for both, there is usually no reason not to apply to both; the programs are independent.
