App platforms

32 services

App platforms build your code or container and keep it running, which costs the provider real compute, so free plans are smaller and stricter than static hosting. What matters is RAM, monthly running hours, and whether an idle app sleeps. Koyeb gives 550 compute hours a month with 512 MB of RAM and one PostgreSQL database. Render offers free web services, databases and static sites, though free web services spin down when idle and take a moment to wake. gigalixir runs one Elixir instance that never sleeps, with a small Postgres of 10,000 rows.

Several offers are credits instead of a permanent tier. Clever Cloud gives €20 at signup, while Choreo renews a $100 credit every month for up to 5 components. Others cap resources tightly: Deplexo runs 1 app on 128 MB of RAM, velixir 1 app on 256 MB, and SnapDeploy allows 4 containers for 100 running hours a month without a card. Northflank includes 2 services, 2 cron jobs and a database. The Vibe Hosting requires phone verification.

Language-specific hosts can be simpler: pythonanywhere gives 1 Python web app with 512 MB of storage and a MySQL database. Alwaysdata and domcloud.co work like classic hosting accounts with SSH but no custom domain on the free tier. Tools such as flightcontrol.dev and Ownkube deploy into your own AWS account, so the platform is free but AWS bills you for what runs there.
