Machines (Performance CPU) · $1013.8/mo (128 GB RAM, 16 vCPU)
Fly.io's $1013.80/mo performance-16x plan is significantly overpriced for the specs. Multiple dedicated server and VPS providers offer 64GB RAM with 16 vCPU for $40-$220/mo, and even accounting for hidden costs and contract terms, the value gap is enormous. Unless you need Fly.io's specific orchestration, auto-scaling, or per-second billing model, switching saves 80-95%.
16 vCPU, 64GB RAM, 500GB SSD, unlimited traffic for $39.96/mo on a 24-month term—roughly 25x cheaper than Fly.io with comparable CPU cores.
Caveat: 24-month prepaid contract required; shorter terms cost more; fair-usage policy on bandwidth; ticket-only support on base tier.
8 vCPU, 64GB DDR5 ECC RAM, 1.92TB NVMe, dedicated hardware for $49/mo; more storage and ECC memory than Fly.io at 1/20th the price.
Caveat: Setup fee now 79 EUR (2026+); 20TB traffic included in EU but overages charged per GB outside EU; VAT excluded from listed price.
16 vCPU, 64GB RAM, 750GB NVMe, unlimited traffic for $72.52/mo on 24-month term; adds 250GB more storage than the base VPS 16 for only $32 more.
Caveat: 24-month prepaid required; fair-usage policy on bandwidth; ticket-only support on base tier.
16 vCPU, 64GB RAM, 960GB NVMe for $90/mo with 99.99% SLA; includes 2TB free outbound data transfer per month.
Caveat: Additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/mo each; outbound data beyond 2TB tiered at $0.036-$0.018/GB; renewal pricing after promo period can be 2-6x higher.
64GB RAM, 8 vCPU (4 OCPU), flexible shape for $87.60/mo; Oracle's always-free tier and per-second billing offer flexibility similar to Fly.io at 1/11th the cost.
Caveat: Block Volume performance (VPU) billed separately; Autonomous Database storage separate; OKE control-plane adds $0.10/hr if used.
