Firebase is very expensive

I am at an intermediate level in Flutter and I’m developing a social media application. I need to use a backend for CRUD operations, authentication, and storing user data. I may also need to create a website for my application, so I require hosting as well.

During my learning with Flutter, I was using Firebase, but after calculating the costs I would incur, I’ve decided against using Firebase for my application, especially since the profits are likely to be low in the Middle East.

Now, I am looking for a way to:

• Perform CRUD operations
• Media storage
• Implement authentication (email & password, Google, Apple)
• Enable messaging within my app
• Implement phone number verification
