Question 1

How much does Cheaploy cost?

Accepted Answer

Cheaploy charges a monthly platform fee for the managed DevOps automation. Your cloud bill stays $0 because deployments run on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's Always Free tier — 2 ARM Ampere CPUs, 12GB RAM, 200GB block storage, a load balancer and 10TB egress per month, perpetually free with no credit-card charges.

Question 2

What's the catch with Oracle Cloud's Always Free tier?

Accepted Answer

Oracle's free tier is genuinely free, but new accounts sometimes see capacity errors in popular regions when launching ARM instances. Cheaploy auto-retries across regions and availability domains until provisioning succeeds.

Question 3

Do I need DevOps experience?

Accepted Answer

No. Cheaploy detects your stack (React, Node, Python, Go, Java, etc.), generates an optimized multi-stage Dockerfile, provisions a VCN, ARM compute, load balancer, and SSL certificate, then deploys — all from a single 'Deploy' click.

Question 4

Can I deploy a Lovable, Bolt, v0, or Cursor app?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cheaploy was built for vibe coders shipping AI-generated apps. Upload a ZIP from Lovable, paste a GitHub URL from Cursor or v0, or connect Bolt — Cheaploy handles the rest and gives you a URL on your own cloud.

Question 5

How is this different from Vercel, Render, or Fly.io?

Accepted Answer

Vercel, Render, and Fly.io rent you their infrastructure with generous free tiers that get expensive at scale. Cheaploy deploys to your own Oracle Cloud account, so the infrastructure is yours — and Oracle's free tier never expires.
