Why this score: A complete open-source backend (Postgres, GraphQL, auth, storage, functions) with unlimited users on every plan and a self-host option, about 9.4k GitHub stars. AI app builders and coding agents default to Supabase far more often, and GraphQL is one more thing to learn, so it scores below Supabase and Appwrite.
