Machines (Shared CPU) · $44.44/mo (4 GB RAM, 8 vCPU)
Fly.io's $44.44/mo shared-CPU plan is significantly overpriced compared to traditional VPS providers offering identical or superior specs at 1/4 to 1/5 the cost. Unless you need Fly.io's specific platform features (containerization, global deployment, per-second billing), switching to any of the alternatives below will save you $300-400+ annually.
8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 100GB SSD, unlimited traffic for $5.94/mo - nearly 7.5x cheaper than Fly.io with no per-GB egress billing.
Caveat: Price is locked to 24-month prepaid term; shorter contracts cost more per month; fair usage policy on bandwidth may throttle sustained high-traffic usage.
8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 200GB NVMe SSD, unmetered bandwidth for $8.36/mo intro rate - 5.3x cheaper with better storage and no hidden egress charges.
Caveat: Renewal price jumps to $9.99-$15.99/mo after intro term; 36-month contract required for lowest advertised price; domain and add-ons prompt upsells at checkout.
8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 75GB NVMe, 1 Gbps bandwidth, daily backups for $8.50/mo - 5.2x cheaper with included backup and no per-region egress premiums in most zones.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026; Windows license adds $0.039/vCore/hour surcharge.
8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 80GB SSD, 20TB transfer for $9.99/mo - 4.4x cheaper with generous included bandwidth and no per-second metering.
Caveat: Prices exclude VAT; traffic overage billed per GB beyond 20TB EU pool (much lower in USA/Singapore); recent large price increases on CPX/CCX lines (up to 2.75x) suggest potential future hikes.
8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 160GB NVMe SSD, 5TB transfer, DDoS protection for $9.99/mo (3-yr rate) or $5.99/mo (1-yr promo) - 4.4x to 7.4x cheaper with included security.
Caveat: Renewal rates are 2-4x higher than intro pricing; lowest prices require 24-36 month upfront prepay; free domain only applies first year.
