An OCR checkbox is easy to overinterpret. I see it next to a PDF extractor and assume it will recognize the page again when the existing text is broken. That assumption deserves a test.

How to Sync Billing Data to Supabase (Stripe, QuickBooks, Xero & Paddle)

Sync Stripe, QuickBooks, Xero or Paddle into Supabase Postgres in about 5 minutes. Auto-created tables, scheduled syncs, and the RLS step most guides skip. By Ilshaad Kheerdali · 5 October 2026 Supabase is where a lot of small SaaS teams keep their application database, so it is the obvious place to put billing data too.

Annual vs Monthly Subscriptions: Which Should Your App Lead With?

Once you have decided to charge, the next decision arrives quickly: what billing periods do you offer, and which one do you put front and centre on the paywall? The 2026 data leans strongly in one direction. Annual subscribers retain dramatically better than monthly ones through their first year, with median first-year retention for yearly plans landing roughly in the 20 to 40% range against roughly 6 to 14% for monthly. Annual plans also tend to generate meaningfully more revenue per user, with one large analysis of tens of millions of subscribers putting the gap around 50 to 60%. And the sub
