Machines (Performance CPU) · $185.52/mo (16 GB RAM, 4 vCPU)
Fly.io's $185.52/mo performance machine is significantly more expensive than comparable VPS alternatives, even accounting for its per-second billing and performance CPU tier. Most traditional VPS providers offer 4 vCPU / 8GB RAM configurations for $5–$25/mo with predictable monthly billing, though Fly.io's pay-as-you-go model and performance CPUs suit different workloads (containerized apps, auto-scaling) than fixed-tier VPS.
4 vCPU / 8GB RAM for $5.94/mo on a 24-month term, with 100GB SSD and unlimited traffic—a fraction of Fly.io's cost.
Caveat: Introductory rate locked to 24-month prepay; renewal and shorter terms cost significantly more; fair usage policy can throttle sustained high bandwidth.
4 vCPU / 8GB DDR5 RAM / 200GB NVMe for $8.36/mo intro rate with unmetered bandwidth and includes a $60 Amazon gift card.
Caveat: Renewal price jumps to $9.99–$15.99/mo after intro term; free domain only for year one; requires 36-month prepay for lowest price.
4 vCPU / 8GB RAM / 80GB SSD for $9.99/mo with 20TB monthly transfer included and no long-term contract required.
Caveat: Prices exclude VAT; traffic overage billed per GB beyond regional pool; recent large price increases on some lines (up to 2.7x in June 2026).
4 vCPU / 8GB RAM / 75GB NVMe for $8.50/mo with 1 Gbps bandwidth, daily backups, and unlimited traffic.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC region loses free egress after mid-2026; Windows license adds $0.039/vCore/hour surcharge.
4 vCPU / 8GB RAM / 240GB NVMe for $11.50/mo with unlimited traffic up to 1 Gbit/s and 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Intro pricing is a promotional rate on 1-year contract; renewal pricing is 2–6x higher; additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/mo each.
