Fly.io
Pros
- + Fully published pricing for every billed resource, with worked example bills
- + Cheap always-on compute — $2.19/30 days for the smallest Machine in the cheapest regions
- + 17 regions on Fly's own hardware with Anycast routing and per-second billing
- + Strong ecosystem: Managed Postgres, Fly Kubernetes, Tigris S3-compatible object storage, Upstash extensions on one invoice
- + Concrete Enterprise SLA terms (99.9%, 15-minute urgent response) published openly
Cons
- - Free tier replaced by a tight trial (2 VM hours or 7 days)
- - Managed Postgres starts at $38/month — services are priced like a managed PaaS, not like the VMs
- - CLI-first workflow with real conceptual overhead (Machines, Apps, fly-replay, 6PN networking)
- - Uptime SLA only covers Enterprise plans; SLA downtime definition excludes hacking and virus attacks
- - Region count has shrunk from the widely quoted 35+ to 17, and prices vary by region
Webdock
Pros
- + Own Danish datacenter (DK-DC1) — owned hardware, EU data residency, GDPR by design
- + Aggressive value: €2.15/mo entry plan with SSL, daily backups, and 5 automated + 3 on-demand snapshots included
- + Semi-managed support that users rate highly, plus a free in-house control panel instead of paid cPanel
- + Transparent pricing: no renewal hikes, no transfer fees, month-to-month with optional discounts for longer terms
- + Profile Builder lets you tune CPU/RAM/disk/bandwidth with live pricing and snapshot rollback
Cons
- - Single datacenter only — the Finland location was retired, so there is no geographic redundancy or non-EU region
- - 99.9% uptime is a stated target without a formal credit-backed SLA document we could find
- - 1 TB outgoing transfer cap on the small plans is tight for media-heavy workloads
- - Small vendor (~19 staff) with no managed Kubernetes, object storage, or global network products
- - Pricing page lists identical memory/disk figures for Essential and Advanced as published — confirm exact specs before purchase
