An S3-compatible object store built around zero egress fees versus a Postgres-bundled file store that lives next to your auth and database — pick based on where the rest of your stack already is.
Pick Cloudflare R2 when you serve a lot of public assets and egress fees would dominate the bill, or you're already building on Workers and want object storage co-located with your edge compute. Pick Supabase Storage when you're already on Supabase and want files in the same project as your Postgres rows and auth — row-level-style access policies, signed URLs, and image transforms wired in without integrating a separate vendor.
