Machines (Performance CPU) · $257.54/mo (16 GB RAM, 8 vCPU)
Fly.io's performance-8x at $257.54/mo is significantly more expensive than comparable VPS alternatives, even accounting for its per-second billing and regional flexibility. Most traditional VPS providers offer 4-8 vCPU with 8-16GB RAM for $5-25/mo, though they carry renewal-price traps and contract lock-ins that Fly.io avoids.
Delivers 4 vCPU and 8GB RAM for $5.94/mo with 100GB SSD and unlimited traffic, making it the cheapest entry point by far.
Caveat: Requires 24-month prepaid contract; renewal pricing unknown; fair-usage policy may throttle sustained high bandwidth; only ticket-based support.
Offers 4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 80GB SSD, and 20TB monthly transfer for $9.99/mo with no long-term contract required and 99.9% SLA.
Caveat: Traffic overages billed per GB beyond 20TB in EU (as little as 0.5-1TB in USA/Singapore); recent price increases on other product lines suggest future hikes possible; VAT excluded from listed price.
Provides 4 vCPU, 8GB DDR5 RAM, 200GB NVMe, and unmetered bandwidth at $8.36/mo intro with 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Renewal price jumps to $9.99-$15.99/mo after intro term; requires 36-month prepay for lowest price; domain free only year one; aggressive upsell prompts at checkout.
Delivers 4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 75GB NVMe, 1 Gbps bandwidth, and daily backups for $8.50/mo with 99.99% SLA and no contract lock-in.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; Windows license adds $0.039/vCore/hour; APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026; Object Storage has retrieval fees and minimum durations.
Offers 4 vCPU, 16GB RAM (matching Fly.io's RAM), 200GB NVMe, 16TB transfer, and weekly backups at $12.99/mo intro with AMD EPYC.
Caveat: Renewal price jumps to $28.99/mo (2.2x increase); requires 12-48 month prepay for intro rate; free domain only year one; daily backups reserved for Cloud plans.
