Machines (Shared CPU) · $23.66/mo (2 GB RAM, 8 vCPU)
Fly.io's $23.66/mo shared-CPU plan is moderately priced but carries significant hidden costs (region premiums, extra RAM billing, egress charges, storage on stopped machines). IONOS VPS M+ at $11/mo offers substantially better value for comparable specs with unlimited traffic, though renewal pricing is a major trap. Kamatera and Liquid Web are also worth evaluating if you need guaranteed resources and predictable billing.
Slightly more expensive but offers 5TB monthly transfer (vs Fly.io's metered egress), 50GB SSD, and transparent per-GB overage pricing ($0.01/GB) with no region-based premiums.
Caveat: Pricing is a calculator sample, not a fixed SKU; burstable CPU type incurs $0.041/hr/CPU overage if average usage exceeds 10%; powered-off servers may still accrue charges.
Includes 120GB SSD, 2TB transfer, and 4vCPU/4GB RAM with a published 100% uptime SLA and no per-region pricing variations.
Caveat: $34 is likely a promotional rate; renewal pricing is materially higher, and bandwidth overages are billed separately.
