Machines (Performance CPU) · $149.51/mo (16 GB RAM, 2 vCPU)
Fly.io's $149.51/mo performance machine is significantly more expensive than comparable VPS offerings, even accounting for its per-second billing flexibility and containerized architecture. Multiple providers offer 8GB RAM / 4 vCPU instances for $5.94–$21.99/mo with fixed monthly billing, though most carry renewal-price traps and contract lock-ins that Fly.io avoids.
Delivers 4 vCPU / 8GB RAM / 100GB SSD for $5.94/mo with unlimited traffic, a 25x cost reduction versus Fly.io's 2 vCPU / 16GB setup.
Caveat: Requires 24-month prepaid contract; renewal pricing and fair-use traffic throttling apply; ticket-only support on base tier.
Offers 4 vCPU / 8GB RAM / 80GB SSD / 20TB transfer for $9.99/mo with no long-term contract required and month-to-month flexibility.
Caveat: Prices exclude VAT; traffic overages charged per GB beyond 20TB in EU; recent large price increases on other product lines suggest future hikes possible.
Provides 4 vCPU / 8GB RAM / 75GB NVMe / daily backups for $8.50/mo with 99.99% SLA and no long-term lock-in.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC regions lose free egress after mid-2026; Windows license adds $0.039/vCore/hour.
Delivers 4 vCPU / 8GB RAM / 240GB NVMe / unlimited traffic for $11.50/mo with 99.99% SLA and no contract required.
Caveat: Intro pricing is promotional; renewal rates 2-6x higher; additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/mo each; outbound data beyond 2TB tiered at $0.036/GB.
Offers 2 vCPU / 8GB RAM / 150GB NVMe / unmetered bandwidth / DDoS protection for $21.99/mo with month-to-month billing and 100% SLA.
Caveat: Renewal price jumps ~280% after intro term; no hourly/pay-as-you-go option to spin down; monthly billing only.
