Machines (Performance CPU) · $74.76/mo (8 GB RAM, 1 vCPU)
Fly.io's $74.76/mo performance machine is significantly more expensive than comparable alternatives. While Fly.io excels for containerized, multi-region workloads with per-second billing flexibility, traditional VPS providers offer 8GB RAM + 2 vCPU configurations at 1/5 to 1/7 the price for simpler use cases. The gap widens further when accounting for Fly.io's region premiums, extra RAM surcharges, and egress fees.
Matches 8GB RAM and adds 2 vCPU (vs Fly's 1 vCPU) for $13.68/mo, plus 120GB NVMe storage and 2TB free egress monthly.
Caveat: Renewal pricing after 1-year contract is 2-6x higher; additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/mo each; egress beyond 2TB is tiered at $0.036/GB.
4GB RAM + 2 vCPU + 40GB SSD + 20TB transfer for $6.49/mo; excellent value for non-memory-intensive workloads, with 99.9% SLA.
Caveat: Only 4GB RAM (vs Fly's 8GB); traffic overages billed per GB beyond 20TB pool; prices exclude VAT; recent large price increases on CPX/CCX lines (June 2026).
4GB RAM + 2 vCPU + 40GB NVMe + daily backups + 500 Mbps for $4.54/mo; lowest sticker price with 99.99% SLA and included backup.
Caveat: Only 4GB RAM; IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC egress loses free status after mid-2026; Windows license adds $0.039/vCore/hour.
4GB RAM + 2 vCPU + 100GB NVMe + unmetered bandwidth for $4.18/mo intro; includes $50 Amazon gift card promo.
Caveat: Requires 36-month prepay to get lowest price; renewal jumps to $9.99-$15.99/mo (2-3x); free domain only year 1; aggressive upsells for SiteLock/backups/Pro Email.
4GB RAM + 1 vCPU + 50GB NVMe + 4TB transfer for $6.49/mo intro; weekly backups and AMD EPYC CPU.
Caveat: Only 1 vCPU (vs Fly's 1 performance vCPU, but Hostinger's is standard); renewal at $11.99/mo (85% increase); intro price requires 12/24/48-month prepay; free domain year 1 only.
