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 traditional VPS providers offer 4vCPU/4-8GB RAM plans for $5-14/mo, though you'll need to account for renewal price increases and contract lock-ins common in that market. Fly.io's per-second billing and regional flexibility are valuable for certain workloads, but the base price is 3-9x higher than alternatives.
Matches Fly.io's 4vCPU/8GB RAM exactly with 100GB SSD storage, unlimited traffic, and no per-second billing surprises.
Caveat: Quoted price requires 24-month prepaid contract; 1-12 month terms cost significantly more, and fair-usage policy can throttle sustained high bandwidth.
Exceeds Fly.io specs with 4vCPU/8GB RAM, 160GB NVMe, 5TB transfer, and DDoS protection included.
Caveat: Intro price requires 3-year prepay; renewal jumps to ~$11.99-39.96/mo depending on term, and free domain only covers year one.
Offers 4vCPU/16GB RAM (double Fly.io's memory), 200GB NVMe, 16TB transfer, and weekly backups at less than one-third the price.
Caveat: Intro rate requires 12-48 month prepay; renewal price jumps to $28.99/mo (2.2x), and monthly billing is available but much pricier.
Provides 4vCPU/4GB RAM with 120GB NVMe and unlimited traffic at one-quarter Fly.io's cost.
Caveat: Intro pricing is a 1-year promotional rate; renewal pricing is 2-6x higher, and additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/mo each.
Cheapest option with 2vCPU/4GB RAM, 40GB NVMe, daily backups, and 99.99% SLA; good entry point if you don't need 4 full cores.
Caveat: Specs are half Fly.io's vCPU count; IPv4 addresses billed separately, and APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026.
