Machines (Performance CPU) · $46.38/mo (4 GB RAM, 1 vCPU)
Fly.io Machines at $46.38/mo is significantly more expensive than comparable VPS offerings, even accounting for performance-tier CPU and regional pricing variations. Multiple providers offer 2-4GB RAM with 1-2 vCPUs at $4-10/mo, though most carry renewal-price traps and intro-rate lock-ins that should be factored into long-term cost.
Matches Fly.io's 4GB RAM and adds 2 vCPUs, 40GB NVMe, daily backups, and 500 Mbps bandwidth for just $4.54/mo with no per-GB RAM surcharges.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; Windows license adds $0.039/vCore/hour; APAC egress loses free status after mid-2026.
4GB RAM, 2 vCPUs, 40GB SSD, and 20TB monthly transfer at $6.49/mo; significantly cheaper than Fly.io with no hidden per-GB RAM fees.
Caveat: VAT excluded from listed price; traffic overage charged per GB beyond 20TB; recent large price increases on other product lines (CPX/CCX up 2.4-2.75x).
4GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 50GB NVMe, 4TB transfer, weekly backups, and AMD EPYC at $6.49/mo intro rate; better storage and bandwidth than Fly.io.
Caveat: Intro price requires 12-48 month prepay; renewal jumps to $11.99/mo (85% increase); free domain only year one; weekly (not daily) backups on base plan.
2GB RAM, 2 vCPUs, 80GB NVMe, and unlimited traffic (up to 1 Gbit/s) for $4.33/mo; cheapest option with no per-GB RAM surcharges.
Caveat: Intro pricing is 3-month or 1-year promo on 1-year contract; renewal pricing 2-6x higher; additional IPv4 addresses $6/mo each; outbound data beyond 2TB free pool tiered at $0.036-0.018/GB.
2GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 50GB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth, and root SSH access at just $2.09/mo; lowest sticker price with no per-GB RAM fees.
Caveat: Intro price requires 36-month prepay; renewal jumps to $9.99-15.99/mo (4.8-7.6x increase); free domain and privacy only year one; SiteLock/backup upsells at checkout; 99.99% SLA.
