We've shipped two production Forge apps and they connect to real Supabase data on first generation. Horizons reviewers describe burning 30+ credits before getting Supabase auth wired correctly — and credits keep burning on every fix attempt.
Upload a CSV. Forge infers the schema (text, number, date, currency, foreign-keys), provisions a real Supabase table, and generates a working CRUD UI around it. Horizons starts from a blank prompt.
Forge's templates are restaurant-shaped, contractor-shaped, salon-shaped — built around the actual jobs those operators do. Horizons gives you a website builder that happens to do apps.

Switching from Hostinger Horizons? Free tier first, no card needed.
Start freeHostinger launched a native backend in February 2026 (auth, DB, file storage), de-emphasising Supabase. The fix is too new to have meaningful review evidence yet — public reviews from January through April 2026 still describe broken app generation. Forge's Supabase data layer has been live for over a year and ships persistent apps reliably.
If your Horizons app uses Supabase, the data is already in your Supabase project — Forge can read from it directly. If it's on Horizons' new native backend, export your data as CSV and upload to Forge; the schema is inferred automatically.
Generated apps export to your own hosting (Vercel, Netlify, anywhere). Pro tier wires up custom domains via Vercel's API. The trade-off: you own the deployment instead of renting it from us. Coming soon: optional `*.forge.app` subdomain hosting on Free.
Horizons Explorer is $6.99/mo (30 credits). Forge Pro is £7/mo (100 credits). Roughly the same price; Forge gives you 3.3× more credits, and each Forge edit costs 0.25 credit while Horizons charges full freight per fix. That ratio is why reviewers report Horizons running out fast.
