How much does Cheaploy cost?

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.

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

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.

Do I need DevOps experience?

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Hosting platform comparisons vs Oracle Always Free

How Cheaploy compares to other hosts

What each platform's free or entry plan actually includes, where it breaks, and whether moving to your own Oracle Always Free server is worth it.

Railway vs Oracle Always Free — Usage-based pricing means a traffic spike or a memory leak turns into a bill you only see afterwards.
DigitalOcean vs Oracle Always Free — You are paying monthly for a VM that Oracle gives away with more RAM.
AWS Lightsail vs Oracle Always Free — The free window expires, and the cheapest ongoing plan is a 512 MB-1 GB instance.
Hetzner vs Oracle Always Free — Excellent value, but still a recurring bill and still self-managed.
PythonAnywhere vs Oracle Always Free — The allowlist blocks most third-party APIs, and the free app must be manually renewed.
Replit vs Oracle Always Free — Free Repls sleep, and the always-on and deployment features sit behind a subscription.
Glitch vs Oracle Always Free — Anything you shipped there needs a new home with a persistent process.
Cloudflare Pages & Workers vs Oracle Always Free — Workers are not Node — long-running processes, raw TCP, native binaries and big dependencies do not fit.
