24 ranked picks · Updated daily

Self-hosted PaaS, Coolify, Dokploy, CapRover and the rest

Heroku, Render, and Vercel are convenient but pricey. Coolify, Dokploy, and CapRover give the same one-click git-deploy + auto-SSL + buildpack experience on a $4 Hetzner box you control.

Cheapest path: immich on hetzner for $4.13/mo, that's about $190/year less than Vercel.
