Plan your infrastructure on evidence, not marketing.
Hosting, databases and the infrastructure between them, read from what providers publish — dated, sourced, and never paid for. Plan what your next project needs, or check what you already have.
Find infrastructure for what you're building.
Pick everything your project is made of and needs. The list below narrows to providers that document support for everything picked — nothing here is a guess at what a provider can do. Need the whole stack, not just where it runs? Plan every layer, with a starting-cost floor →

| Provider | Category | Documented fit | Entry paid plan | Free tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alibaba Cloud | VPS & cloud | $4/month for SAS 2vCPU 0.5GiB (2 vCPUs, 0.5 GiB memory, 20 GiB system disk, up to 200 Mbit/s), the cheapest Simple Application Server card on the product page; its Buy Now link opens the China (Hong Kong) region. The same page shows a one-time $9.9/year offer on SAS 2vCPU 1GiB in Singapore (resellers excluded, no coupons) and states no renewal price for it. | No | |
| AWS Amplify | Frontend & serverless | No monthly minimum — Amplify Hosting is billed per unit. A representative month for one small app, priced at Amplify's published rates: 100 build minutes ($1.00), 5 GB stored ($0.11), 100 GB served ($15.00), with SSR requests inside the free 500,000 — about $16.11. Our arithmetic on Amplify's rates, not a price Amplify quotes, and it moves with traffic: egress is 93% of it. Recorded without a magnitude for that reason. | No | |
| Azure Container Apps | App platforms | Not documented | Yes | |
| Civo | VPS & cloud | $5.43/month ($0.007440/hour) for the xSmall Standard compute instance: 1 core, 1 GB RAM, 25GB NVMe, with free and unlimited data transfer. A standing hourly list price in US dollars; no introductory or promotional rate. The smallest Kubernetes node (Standard Extra Small: 1 GB, 1 core, 30GB NVMe) costs the same $5.43/month, and the Kubernetes control plane is free, so a one-node cluster is $5.43/month. | No | |
| Cloudflare Pages | Frontend & serverless | $5 / month account minimum | Yes | |
| Cloudflare Workers | Frontend & serverless | $5/month minimum charge for an account on the Workers Paid plan, which covers Workers, Pages Functions, Workers KV, Hyperdrive and Durable Objects usage. | Yes | |
| Cloudways | Managed hosting | $11/month for the cheapest Cloudways Flexible server, as the pricing page's FAQ states. The plan cards open on DigitalOcean Basic with the Premium (NVMe) option, where the 1 GB Micro server is $14/month ($0.0208/hour). Servers are billed hourly. | No | |
| Contabo | VPS & cloud | €5.50/month for Cloud VPS 4 (4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 100 GB SSD) on a one-month term, with no setup fee, in the European Union region, which the configurator lists as free; the United Kingdom region adds €1.05/month on this plan. The same plan is €4.68/month on a 12-month term and €4.40/month on a 24-month term, the rate Contabo's plan pages headline. Converted for comparison at the ECB reference rate of 1 EUR = 1.1367 USD (2026-09-24, api.frankfurter.dev), which puts the one-month price at about $6.25/month. Contabo shows USD only client-side, with the VAT of the visitor's detected tax country added, so the EUR figure from the order configurator is used; the conversion is ours and moves with the rate. | Not documented | |
| Deno Deploy | Frontend & serverless | $20/month for Pro. Builder is $200/month for subhosting; Enterprise is custom. | Yes | |
| DigitalOcean | VPS & cloud | $4.00 | Yes | |
| DigitalOcean App Platform | App platforms | $5.00 per month for the smallest container: 1 shared vCPU, 512 MiB of RAM and 50 GiB of bandwidth. | Yes | |
| DreamHost | Mass-market | $10.99/month on renewal for Web Hosting Launch, the cheapest shared plan. The advertised $2.89 is a first-year rate on an annual prepay. | No | |
| Fly.io | App platforms | Not documented | No | |
| Flywheel | Managed hosting | $25/month for Starter, billed $300 a year with two months free. Monthly billing is offered at a higher rate. | No | |
| Google Cloud | VPS & cloud | No plan fee; compute is pay-as-you-go. The smallest predefined machine type, e2-micro (2 shared-core vCPUs, 1 GiB), is $0.008376428 an hour on demand in Iowa (us-central1), the region the price list shows first; committed-use discounts lower it. | Yes | |
| Google Cloud Run | App platforms | No plan fee and no minimum commitment. Cloud Run bills per vCPU-second, GiB-second and request once the monthly free allowance is used, so there is no entry price to compare, only a rate card. Recorded without a magnitude for that reason. | Yes | |
| Heroku | App platforms | $5 per month (Eco dynos plan, 1000 dyno hours shared across the account) | Not documented | |
| Hetzner | VPS & cloud | €5.99/month for the CX23 (2 vCPU, 4 GB, 40 GB NVMe), including a primary IPv4 address, or €0.0096/hour. The ARM CAX11 with identical specs is €6.49. Converted for comparison at the ECB reference rate of 1 EUR = 1.1622 USD (2026-09-04, api.frankfurter.dev), which puts the CX23 at about $6.96/month. Hetzner publishes no USD price; the conversion is ours and moves with the rate. | Not documented | |
| Hostinger | Mass-market | $10.99/month on renewal (Premium plan) | No | |
| Hostinger VPS | VPS & cloud | $11.99/month on renewal for KVM 1, on a two-year term. The advertised $6.49 is an introductory rate for the first term only. | No | |
| IONOS VPS | VPS & cloud | $6/month for VPS S+ (1 vCore, 2 GB RAM, 60 GB NVMe), the regular price the plan card shows struck through. The advertised $2/month applies for the first 3 months of a 1-year term; the page does not state a renewal price in words. | No | |
| Kamatera | VPS & cloud | $4/month for the Basic preset server: 1 vCPU of Type A – Availability (a non-dedicated CPU thread), 1 GB RAM, 20 GB NVMe SSD and 5 TB of traffic. It is a standing monthly price with no contract; no promotional or introductory rate is shown. The preset is priced once, beside a selector of all 21 data centres, and the page does not say the price varies by location. | No | |
| Kinsta | Managed hosting | $35/month for the entry single-site plan (first month $0, then $35/month); $30/month if paid annually. | No | |
| Koyeb | App platforms | $29/month for Pro, plus compute. The plan fee buys team and support features; compute is billed separately per second. | Yes | |
| Leaseweb | VPS & cloud | €4.99/month excluding VAT for Leaseweb VPS 1 (4 vCPU, 6 GiB, 100 GB NVMe, 30 TB traffic) in Amsterdam: the monthly base price before any contract-term discount, with a €0.00 set-up fee. The configurator defaults to a 1-year contract at 10% off, which brings it to €4.49. Converted for comparison at the ECB reference rate of 1 EUR = 1.1403 USD (2026-09-25, api.frankfurter.dev), which puts it at about $5.69/month. The conversion is ours and moves with the rate. | No | |
| Linode (Akamai Cloud) | VPS & cloud | $5.00/month for g6-nanode-1, the Nanode 1GB shared-CPU plan. Two regions are priced above it: $6.00 in Jakarta and $7.00 in São Paulo. | No | |
| netcup | VPS & cloud | €2.21/month for VPS pico G11.5s (1 vCore, 1 GB RAM, 30 GB SSD, IPv4 + IPv6), on a 12-month minimum contract billed per 12 months, with a €0.00 set-up fee. Limited to one per customer and hosted in Nuremberg only. The €2.21 includes 19% German VAT, which the site shows by default; its country selector lists 0% VAT for United States customers. Converted for comparison at the ECB reference rate of 1 EUR = 1.1367 USD (2026-09-24, api.frankfurter.dev), which puts it at about $2.51/month including that VAT. netcup publishes no USD price; the conversion is ours and moves with the rate. | Not documented | |
| Netlify | Frontend & serverless | $9/month for 1,000 credits/month | Yes | |
| Nhost | App platforms | $25/month for Pro is a plan fee that includes $15 of compute credits, not the cost of a running project — compute is metered on top. Team is $599/month on the same basis. | Yes | |
| Oracle Cloud | VPS & cloud | No plan fee; compute is pay-as-you-go. The lowest published per-OCPU rate is the Arm Ampere A1 shape (VM.Standard.A1.Flex): $0.01 per OCPU-hour plus $0.0015 per GB of memory per hour. The price list prices the first 3,000 OCPU-hours and 18,000 GB-hours a month at $0; Oracle's Always Free docs state 1,500 and 9,000. The price list notes that on Arm shapes an OCPU equates to a vCPU. | Yes | |
| OVHcloud | VPS & cloud | $5.35/month for VPS-1 (2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 40 GB NVMe) with no commitment, excluding tax, on OVHcloud's US storefront. The VPS page's headline 'Starting at $4.54/month' is the 12-month-commitment price; a 6-month commitment is $5.08/month. No installation fee. The same USD prices apply to US, European, Canadian and Asia-Pacific data centers in the US catalog. | Not documented | |
| Pressable | Managed hosting | $20.83/month for Signature 1, billed $250 a year. Monthly billing is offered at a higher rate; the yearly plan advertises two months free. | No | |
| RackNerd | VPS & cloud | $17.99/month for the 1 GB KVM plan (2 vCore, 50 GB SSD), the cheapest plan billed monthly. A 512 MB plan (1 vCore, 30 GB SSD) is sold for $26.99 a year, annual billing only. | No | |
| Railway | App platforms | $5 / month (Hobby) | Yes | |
| Render | App platforms | Not documented | Yes | |
| SiteGround | Mass-market | $17.99/month on renewal ($3.99/mo intro, prepaid 12 months) | No | |
| UpCloud | VPS & cloud | $3.5/month for the cheapest Starter plan: 1 CPU core, 1 GB memory and 10 GB of standard SSD storage, at UpCloud's USD 'Global price', the same in every location. Billed by the starting hour up to 28 days a month; prices exclude local taxes. The 1 GB plan is limited to 5 concurrent deployments per customer. A standing list price; no introductory or promotional rate is shown. | No | |
| Vercel | Frontend & serverless | $20 per developer seat / month (Pro) | Yes | |
| Vultr | VPS & cloud | $2.50/month for vc2-1c-0.5gb-v6: 1 vCPU, 512 MB memory, 10 GB SSD, 512 GB bandwidth, IPv6 only — and available in two of Vultr's 33 regions, Newark and Atlanta. The first plan offered nearly everywhere is vc2-1c-1gb at $5.00, in 31 of them. | Not documented | |
| WP Engine | Managed hosting | Starting at $28.00/month for the Managed Hosting Platform, quoted in USD; $336.00 if billed annually. On 14 September 2026 the same URL also served a euro-priced variant at €25.60/month, to roughly one request in eight; thirty consecutive samples on 15 September returned only the dollar-priced body, so that behaviour is recorded as observed and not as current. | No | |
| Zeabur | App platforms | $5/month for the Dev plan, with the first 14 days free. The fee buys platform features; the server services run on is bought separately at its own fixed monthly price, or brought by the user. | Yes |
Places to run your project, not what it stores its data in or how it signs a user in — every other layer your project might need is below, collapsed until you need it.
Storing what your project produces?
Object storage is a separate decision from where your app runs, and egress is the sharpest line between the providers documented here — free to serve back out for most of them, and a real per-GB charge from the hyperscalers in the set, which is the one column below actually worth comparing.See the full list →
| Provider | Category | Documented fit | Egress over allowance | Free tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amazon S3 | Object storage | $0.09 per GB for the first 10 TB a month out to the internet, after a free 100 GB aggregated globally. It falls to $0.085 above 10 TB, $0.07 above 50 TB and $0.05 above 150 TB. This is AWS's outbound data transfer rate rather than an S3-specific one — the charge that R2, Wasabi and Tigris do not levy at all. | Yes | |
| Azure Blob Storage | Object storage | First 100 GB a month free, then $0.087 per GB over Microsoft's global egress meter, falling to $0.083 above 10 TB. | No | |
| Backblaze B2 | Object storage | Free up to three times your stored capacity each month on the $6.95/TB tier; unlimited free egress on the $15/TB tier. Egress beyond the 3x allowance is chargeable. | Yes | |
| Bunny Storage | Object storage | Free to Bunny's own CDN, and no API fees or API egress charges. Bunny prices storage by replication rather than by transfer. | Not documented | |
| Cloudflare R2 | Object storage | Free. Cloudflare charges nothing for egress to the internet on any storage class; Infrequent Access adds a $0.01/GB retrieval fee instead. | Yes | |
| IDrive e2 | Object storage | Free up to three times your active storage volume each month — the same shape as Backblaze B2's allowance rather than the unconditional free egress R2 and Wasabi advertise. | Not documented | |
| Storj | Object storage | $7 per TB, the same rate as storage — reduced from $20 per TB on the Standard tier. Storj charges for egress where R2, Wasabi and Tigris do not, but at a tenth of what S3 charges. | Not documented | |
| Tigris | Object storage | None, on every storage class. Tigris states it does not charge "for regional data transfer, region-to-region data transfer, or data transfer out to the internet (egress)". The $0.01–$0.03 per GB that appears beside it on the pricing table is Data Retrieval — a separate line from Data Storage and request charges, billed for reading out of the Infrequent Access and Archive Instant Retrieval classes, and not a transfer charge. | Yes | |
| Wasabi | Object storage | None. Wasabi charges for capacity only, with no egress or API request fees. | No |
Need somewhere to put your data?
Managed databases split on a couple of real questions: whether you can branch a database the way you branch a git repo, and whether read replicas exist for scaling reads separately from writes.See the full list →
| Provider | Category | Documented fit | Entry paid plan | Free tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aiven | Managed database | $5 a month for Developer — one VM, 1 CPU, 1 GB RAM, 8 GB storage, with no choice of cloud or region and no connection pooling. The first plan that behaves like a production service is Startup at $75 a month or $0.10 an hour, which is where the uptime SLA and multi-CPU sizing begin; Hobbyist sits between them at $12. | Yes | |
| Amazon Aurora | Managed database | No plan fee and no minimum commitment — Aurora charges for what you use. AWS's own worked example prices serverless compute at $0.12 per ACU-hour on Aurora Standard in US East (N. Virginia), and the smallest capacity you can set is 0.5 ACUs; storage and I/O are billed separately. | No | |
| Amazon RDS | Managed database | $0.016 per DB instance-hour on-demand for db.t4g.micro, the smallest DB instance class — RDS for MySQL, Single-AZ, US East (N. Virginia). No plan fee or minimum: instance-hours, storage and backups are billed separately. Cheapest of the 216 on-demand rates in this feed; db.t3.micro is next at $0.017. | No | |
| Crunchy Bridge | Managed database | $9 a month for Hobby-0 — 2 cores, 512 MB, AWS only. Crunchy says the Hobby tier runs on lower-quality infrastructure, has no PgBouncer and is not intended for production; the first production tier is Standard-4 at $70 a month for 1 core and 4 GB. There is no free plan. | Not documented | |
| Firebase | Managed database | No plan fee and no stated minimum: Blaze is pay-as-you-go, billed to a linked Cloud Billing account (which requires a payment method) only for usage above the no-cost quotas, which Blaze keeps. Cloud Functions is the stated exception that can charge within quota. Recorded without a magnitude because there is no entry price, only a rate card. | Yes | |
| Neo4j | Managed database | $65/GB/month (minimum 1GB cluster) on AuraDB Professional, or $0.09/hour ($65.70/month for 1GB) metered hourly. 14-day free trial available. | Yes | |
| Neon | Managed database | No fixed monthly fee. Launch is usage-based — Neon's own worked example puts typical spend at $15/month for intermittent load on 1 GB — so there is no entry price to compare, only a rate card. Recorded without a magnitude because a vendor's spend estimate is not a price. | Yes | |
| Nile | Managed database | $15/month for Pro, which carries a production SLA. Scale is $350/month. | Yes | |
| PlanetScale | Managed database | $5/month for a single-node Postgres database on network-attached storage; PlanetScale Metal with local NVMe starts at $50/month | No | |
| Prisma Postgres | Managed database | $10/month for Starter. Pro is $49 and Business $129, each including a larger request allowance. | Yes | |
| ScaleGrid | Managed database | Dedicated Hosting starts at $10/month for Redis; $13/month PostgreSQL, $18/month MongoDB, $23/month MySQL, all-inclusive of machine, disk and network costs. From the Dedicated Hosting Plans doc; the live /pricing/ calculator quotes higher figures (see notes). | No | |
| Supabase | Managed database | $25/month for Pro, including the first project and $10/mo of compute credits — enough to cover one Micro instance, so this runs a small project rather than being a fee on top of it. Additional projects from $10/mo. | Yes | |
| TigerData | Managed database | Compute starts at $30/month on Performance, billed hourly, with storage charged separately. Scale starts at $36/month. | Yes | |
| Turso | Managed database | $4.99/month for Developer, the cheapest paid plan. Scaler is $24.92 and Pro $416.58. | Yes |
Watching for what breaks in production?
Error tracking splits on two real questions: whether session replay exists alongside error capture, and whether you can self-host it instead of sending your data to someone else.See the full list →
| Provider | Category | Documented fit | Entry paid plan | Free tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Axiom | Observability | $25/month platform fee for Cloud, plus usage, with no minimum commitment. The plan carries an always-free allowance of 1 TB loaded, 100 GB-hours of query compute and 100 GB stored. | Yes | |
| Better Stack | Observability | From $29/month, or $34/month depending on the plan selected; Better Stack advertises both figures as starting prices on the same page. | Yes | |
| Datadog | Observability | $15 per host per month for Infrastructure Pro, the entry paid product. Datadog prices per product rather than per plan, so this is one meter of many rather than a platform fee. | Yes | |
| Elastic Cloud | Observability | Elastic Cloud Hosted Standard, cheapest of four subscription tiers: as low as $99 per month for a production config of 120 GB storage across 2 zones. Gold $114, Platinum $131, Enterprise $184 per month on the same config basis. Serverless is metered, no plan fee. | No | |
| GlitchTip | Observability | $15/month for the 100,000 event plan; $50 for 500,000 and $250 for 3 million | Yes | |
| Grafana Cloud | Observability | $19/month platform fee for Pro, which includes 10,000 active series before usage billing starts. | Yes | |
| OpenObserve | Observability | No minimum: Cloud Professional is pay-as-you-go from $0.50 per GB ingested plus $0.01 per GB queried, billed monthly with no upfront commitment. | No | |
| Sentry | Observability | $26/month for Team, the cheapest paid plan | Yes | |
| SigNoz | Observability | $49/month for Teams, and the $49 is usage credit rather than a fee on top — SigNoz bills against it before charging more. | No |
Calling a model from your app?
LLM APIs are priced per token, not per month, so the entry price below is the cheapest model's rate rather than a plan fee. What actually varies between providers is whether that price includes prompt caching.See the full list →
| Provider | Category | Documented fit | Cheapest model, per token | Free tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Anthropic | LLM API | $1 per million input tokens for Claude Haiku 4.5, the cheapest current model. | No | |
| Baseten | LLM API | $0.10 per million input tokens for GPT OSS 120B, with output at $0.50. GLM-5.3-Flash is $0.15 in and $0.50 out. | No | |
| DeepInfra | LLM API | $0.06 per million input tokens for DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731, with cached input at $0.015 and output at $0.18. DeepSeek itself charges $0.44 at peak for the same checkpoint and Fireworks $0.22. | No | |
| DeepSeek | LLM API | $0.3 per million input tokens for deepseek-flash at peak on a cache miss, $0.15 off-peak; output is $1.2 peak and $0.6 off-peak. | Not documented | |
| Fireworks AI | LLM API | $0.15 per million input tokens for GLM 5.3 Flash, with output at $0.50. DeepSeek-V4-Flash is $0.22 in and $0.66 out — the same model DeepSeek itself sells at $0.44 peak. | No | |
| Google Gemini API | LLM API | $0.30 per million input tokens for Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite, with output at $2.50. | Yes | |
| Novita AI | LLM API | $0.075 per million input tokens for GLM 5.3 Flash at short context, rising to $0.15 above the threshold, with cache reads at $0.015 and output at $0.25. Fireworks serves the same model at $0.15. | Yes | |
| OpenAI | LLM API | $0.10 per million input tokens for gpt-6-luna at short context. | Not documented | |
| Together AI | LLM API | $0.09 per million input tokens for Qwen3.8 Flash, with output at $0.28 - the cheapest paid chat model on the pricing page. DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 is $0.14 in and $0.28 out. Ternary Bonsai 27B is listed at $0.00 for both input and output. | No | |
| xAI | LLM API | $1.25 per million input tokens for grok-4.3 below 200k prompt tokens (output $2.50), the cheapest generally available text model. The early-access coding model grok-build-0.1 is listed at $1.00. | No |
Sending transactional email?
Transactional email splits on deliverability control — a dedicated sending IP — and whether the provider can receive mail back for your app, not just send it.See the full list →
| Provider | Category | Documented fit | Entry paid plan | Free tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AhaSend | Transactional email | $10/month for Pro; Max is $80/month. | Yes | |
| Amazon SES | Transactional email | No monthly plan — SES bills per email. Ten thousand emails, the tier Postmark and Mailgun both price at, costs $1.00 at the published $0.10 per 1,000. Our arithmetic on Amazon's rate, not a price Amazon quotes, and attachments add $0.12 per GB. | No | |
| Brevo | Transactional email | Starter is priced per region, not globally. A visitor in India is shown ₹562.50/month for 5,000 emails; at the ECB reference rate of 1 INR = 0.01046 USD (2026-09-11, api.frankfurter.dev) that is about $5.88, but Brevo sets each market's price separately, so this is the Indian price converted rather than what a buyer elsewhere pays. No global price is published. | Yes | |
| Cloudflare Email Service | Transactional email | Not documented | Yes | |
| EmailLabs | Transactional email | Not documented | No | |
| MailerSend | Transactional email | $31.50/month for Starter, billed $378 a year. Professional is $99/month, billed $1,188. | Not documented | |
| Mailgun | Transactional email | $15/month for Basic, described as a starting price. | Yes | |
| Mailjet | Transactional email | Not documented | Yes | |
| Postmark | Transactional email | $15.00/month for Basic at the 10,000-email tier. Postmark prices by volume, so the figure rises with the slider. | Yes | |
| Resend | Transactional email | $20/month for Pro, the cheapest paid plan. | Yes | |
| SMTP2GO | Transactional email | $10/month for Starter, or $100 a year. Professional is $75/month. | Yes |
Handling sign-in and user accounts?
Auth is where the SSO tax hides: SAML support, SCIM provisioning and MFA are the three capabilities most often paywalled well above the entry price shown below.See the full list →
| Provider | Category | Documented fit | Entry paid plan | Free tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Auth0 | Auth | $35/month for Essentials at 500 monthly active users; Professional is $240/month at the same volume. Both scale with the MAU slider. | Yes | |
| Better Auth | Auth | $20/month for Pro on the managed infrastructure. The framework itself costs nothing — the plan buys a dashboard, audit logs and security detections around it. | Yes | |
| Clerk | Auth | $25/month for Pro, or $20/month billed annually. Business is $300/month. | Yes | |
| Kinde | Auth | $25/month for Pro. Plus is $75 and the top tier $250 — each including the same 10,500 MAU as the free plan. | Yes | |
| Nhost | App platforms | $25/month for Pro is a plan fee that includes $15 of compute credits, not the cost of a running project — compute is metered on top. Team is $599/month on the same basis. | Yes | |
| Stytch | Auth | No priced paid plan: Pay as you go starts at $0/month and meters usage above the free allowances; the only other tier, Enterprise, is quoted "Custom". | Yes | |
| SuperTokens | Auth | $100 per month minimum billing on the managed Cloud service; anything from 1 to 4,999 MAU bills at that $100 floor. | Yes | |
| WorkOS | Auth | Not documented | Yes |
Need background jobs or a queue?
Queues and background job runners split on whether a failed message lands in a dead-letter queue you can inspect, or just vanishes.See the full list →
| Provider | Category | Documented fit | Entry paid plan | Free tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amazon SQS | Queue | No paid plan or minimum fee; billed per request after the free 1 million requests a month. | Yes | |
| Azure Queue Storage | Queue | Not documented | No | |
| Cloudflare Queues | Queue | Not documented | Yes | |
| Google Cloud Pub/Sub | Queue | Not documented | Yes | |
| Hatchet | Queue | No plan fee: Pay-as-you-go is $0 a month and bills only usage past the free million runs and events ($30 per million runs). Custom, for 100M+ runs a month or enterprise features, is priced by conversation. | Yes | |
| Inngest | Queue | $99/month for Pro, described as a starting price with usage above the included allowance billed on top. | Yes | |
| Temporal | Queue | No plan fee or minimum: pay-as-you-go has no base monthly fee and bills usage from $50 per million Actions, plus storage and Developer support at 10% of usage. New accounts start with $150 in credits valid for 90 days. The Business support add-on starts at $500/month. | No | |
| Trigger.dev | Queue | $10/month for Hobby, which includes $10 of credits; Pro is $50/month including $50 of credits. | Yes | |
| Upstash QStash | Queue | Not documented | Yes | |
| Zeplo | Queue | $39/month for Company, including 1,000,000 requests and three team members. Additional members are $15 each. | Yes |
Training or serving a model that needs a GPU?
GPU compute is priced per hour, per card, and the rate for the same H100 SXM varies sharply across the providers below — a marketplace like Vast.ai prices well under a dedicated cloud — no capability chips here, since none of these differ on what they support, only on what they charge.See the full list →
| Provider | Category | Documented fit | H100 SXM, per GPU-hour | Free tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Baseten | LLM API | $6.50 per hour for a dedicated H100 80GB. Baseten publishes $0.10833 per MINUTE — the hourly figure is that times 60, ours rather than Baseten's, and the page offers an hourly toggle. A100 80GB is $0.06667 a minute and B200 $0.16633. | No | |
| CoreWeave | GPU compute | $6.16 per GPU-hour for NVIDIA HGX H100 (80GB) is CoreWeave's inference-platform price, printed in its "Inference Single GPU Price" column, which it says applies only to inference platform customers. The on-demand instance price is $49.24/hour for the 8-GPU HGX H100 instance, spot $19.71/hour (North America). | Not documented | |
| Crusoe Cloud | GPU compute | $4.50 per GPU-hour on demand for NVIDIA H100 80GB HGX. Crusoe's VM docs list the H100 only as an 8-GPU VM (h100-80gb-sxm-ib.8x), so the smallest H100 rental is eight GPUs. H200 141GB is $5.40 per GPU-hour; spot prices are not printed (Contact sales). | No | |
| DeepInfra | LLM API | $2.20 per GPU-hour for a dedicated H100 80GB — below every dedicated cloud in this dataset. A100 80GB is $0.89, H200 $2.69, B200 $3.69. Billed in minute granularity, invoiced weekly. | No | |
| Fireworks AI | LLM API | $7.00 per hour for an H100 80GB on demand, or $8.00 on the shorter commitment shown beside it. The same rate applies to an H200 141GB. | No | |
| Hyperstack | GPU compute | $3.20 per hour for H100 SXM 80GB on demand. The H100 NVLink is $2.60, and the row the page lists as plain "NVIDIA H100" is $2.50. | No | |
| Lambda | GPU compute | $4.29 per GPU-hour for H100 SXM 80GB on a single-GPU instance, falling to $3.99 on an 8-GPU node. The PCIe variant is $3.29. | Not documented | |

| Novita AI | LLM API | $3.39 per GPU-hour for an on-demand H100 SXM 80GB, or $1.70 spot. | Yes | |
| Paperspace | GPU compute | $5.95 per hour for a single H100 80GB machine (20 vCPU, 250 GB RAM); H100x8 is $47.60 an hour. paperspace.com's pricing footnote calls $5.95 a special promo price but names no other on-demand rate. | Yes | |
| RunPod | GPU compute | $3.99 per hour for H100 SXM 80GB, single card, on Secure Cloud (the page's default view). The PCIe variant is $2.89 and H100 NVL is $3.19. | Not documented | |
| TensorDock | GPU compute | From $2.25 per hour for an on-demand H100 SXM5 VM (1 to 8 GPUs), depending on the CPU and RAM allocated; $1.30 as a spot instance. Quoted on TensorDock's undated H100 page; live marketplace prices are shown only after sign-in. | Not documented | |
| Vast.ai | GPU compute | Median $2.40 per hour for H100 SXM 80GB, with a floor of $1.73 from the cheapest host. Vast is a marketplace — the floor is one host's offer at one moment and the median is what the market is actually charging, so both move without anyone announcing anything. This figure is a snapshot, not a rate card. | No |
Compare infrastructure providers.
Objective comparisons across pricing, infrastructure and developer experience — built from published documentation rather than marketing copy.
| DigitalOcean | Hetzner | |
|---|---|---|
| Entry paid plan | $4.00 | €5.99/month for the CX23 (2 vCPU, 4 GB, 40 GB NVMe), including a primary IPv4 address, or €0.0096/hour. The ARM CAX11 with identical specs is €6.49. Converted for comparison at the ECB reference rate of 1 EUR = 1.1622 USD (2026-09-04, api.frankfurter.dev), which puts the CX23 at about $6.96/month. Hetzner publishes no USD price; the conversion is ours and moves with the rate. |
| Pricing model | billed per second with a minimum charge of 60 seconds or $0.01, whichever is higher | Your server's bill will never exceed its monthly price cap. If you delete your cloud server before the end of the billing month, we will only bill you for the hourly rate. |
| Egress over allowance | $0.01 per GiB (Droplets); inbound transfer is free and allowances pool across the team. | €1.00 per TB over the included traffic in Europe and the US; €7.40 per TB in Singapore. Billed in blocks of 100 MB, rounded up. |
| When you exceed a cap | Billed automatically — outbound transfer beyond the pooled plan allowance is charged at $0.01 per GiB; inbound transfer is free | Billed automatically — traffic beyond the amount included with the server is billed in blocks of 100MB, rounded up; Hetzner emails at 75% and 100% of the included traffic but explicitly does not cap or stop usage |
| Storage (entry plan) | 10 GiB SSD on the cheapest Basic Droplet (Regular CPU, 512 MiB / 1 vCPU, $4.00/mo). | 40 GB NVMe on CX23 and CAX11, the smallest plans in Hetzner's cost-optimized line |
| Memory (entry plan) | 512 MiB on the cheapest Basic Droplet (Regular CPU, 1 vCPU, $4.00/mo). | 4 GB on CX23 and CAX11, the smallest plans in Hetzner's cost-optimized line |
Infrastructure decisions without marketing copy.
Every comparison is assembled from the same five dimensions, so two pages can be read against each other.
- Pricing
- Published plan pricing and the infrastructure costs underneath it, read from official pricing pages.
- Limits
- Bandwidth, compute, storage, build minutes and deployment ceilings — including the ones that only appear in the docs.
- Developer experience
- Deployments, logs, CLI, Git integration and observability, judged by what the workflow actually feels like.
- Infrastructure
- Regions, edge network, runtimes and scaling behaviour, rather than marketing claims about speed.
- Lock-in
- How much of the setup is portable, and what has to be rewritten to leave.
Every figure keeps the sentence it was read from. Flip between the two and the reduction is visible — not something to take on trust.
DigitalOcean, two ways
- When you exceed a cap
“Each Droplet plan includes an amount of free outbound data transfer. Additional outbound transfer is billed at $0.01 per GiB. Inbound transfer to Droplets is free.”
Billed automatically — outbound transfer beyond the pooled plan allowance is charged at $0.01 per GiB; inbound transfer is free
