Machines (Shared CPU) · $44.44/mo (8 GB RAM, 4 vCPU)
Fly.io's $44.44/mo shared-CPU plan is significantly more expensive than comparable VPS offerings with similar or better specs. Most alternatives cost $5-15/mo and include fixed storage, making them far better value unless you specifically need Fly.io's container-native architecture or per-second billing model.
Matches your 8GB RAM and 4 vCPU exactly, includes 100GB SSD storage, and costs 7.5x less than Fly.io with no per-second overage risk.
Caveat: Quoted price requires 24-month prepaid contract; 1-12 month terms cost significantly more per month, and fair-usage policy may throttle sustained high-bandwidth usage.
Delivers 8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 160GB NVMe SSD, and 5TB transfer for $9.99/mo, plus DDoS protection included.
Caveat: Renewal price is 2-4x higher after intro term; lowest price requires 3-year prepay; spec variance between quoted 3-year and 1-year promo rates not fully reconciled.
Offers 8GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 120GB NVMe at $13.68/mo with 99.99% SLA, and no per-second billing surprises.
Caveat: Intro pricing is a 1-year promotional rate; renewal pricing is 2-6x higher; additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/mo each.
Provides 8GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 100GB NVMe SSD, 8TB transfer, and weekly backups for $8.79/mo intro rate.
Caveat: Renewal price jumps to $14.99/mo after intro term; monthly billing available but significantly more expensive than multi-month prepay.
Delivers 4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 40GB SSD, and 20TB transfer for $6.49/mo with 99.9% SLA and no hidden per-second charges.
Caveat: Specs are half your vCPU/RAM; traffic overage billed per GB beyond 20TB pool (as low as 0.5-1TB in USA/Singapore); VAT excluded from listed price.
