Machines (Shared CPU) · $13.27/mo (2 GB RAM, 4 vCPU)
Fly.io's $13.27/mo shared-CPU plan is significantly more expensive than comparable VPS offerings with better specs and lower renewal risk. Multiple providers offer 2-4GB RAM with 2 vCPU for $4-7/mo with included storage, making Fly.io a poor value unless you specifically need per-second billing or containerized workloads.
4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 100GB NVMe SSD, unmetered bandwidth at less than one-third Fly.io's price with 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Renewal price jumps to $9.99-$15.99/mo after intro term; 36-month contract required for lowest rate; domain and add-ons carry hidden upsells.
2GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 80GB NVMe, unlimited traffic up to 1 Gbit/s for one-third the cost with 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Renewal pricing is 2-6x higher after promo period; intro rate is typically 1-year contract only.
4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 40GB NVMe, daily backups, 500 Mbps bandwidth, unlimited traffic for two-thirds less than Fly.io.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; Windows license adds $0.039/vCore/hour; APAC egress loses free status after mid-2026.
4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 40GB SSD, 20TB transfer included for half Fly.io's price with 99.9% SLA.
Caveat: Prices exclude VAT; traffic overage billed per GB beyond 20TB pool; recent large price increases on other product lines signal potential future hikes.
2GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 200 Mbps bandwidth for half Fly.io's cost; good for light workloads with 99.9% SLA.
Caveat: Prices exclude VAT; egress beyond 75GB/month charged at EUR 0.01/GB; Windows licensing is 2.5x more expensive.
