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.

Cloudflare Pages & Workers vs Oracle Always Free: honest comparison (2026)

Cloudflare Pages & Workers vs Oracle Always Free

Workers are not Node — long-running processes, raw TCP, native binaries and big dependencies do not fit.

What Cloudflare Pages & Workers gives you today

A generous free tier for static sites and Workers, with per-request limits and a serverless runtime.

Typical spend: $0 for static; $5+/month once you need Workers Paid, Durable Objects or D1 at scale

Stay on Cloudflare Pages & Workers if

Your site is static or edge-friendly and fits the Workers runtime
You want global edge latency above all else

You need a real Node, Python, PHP or Java process with a filesystem
You run background workers, cron with state, WebSockets at scale or native binaries
You want one server that hosts the app, the database and the queue

Frequently asked

Can I use both?+

Yes, and many do — Cloudflare in front for DNS and CDN, your Oracle VM behind it for the application.

Does Cheaploy work with Cloudflare DNS?+

Yes. Point an A record at your instance; use DNS-only mode while the certificate is issued.

Is edge always faster?+

For static assets, usually. For database-backed pages, a single well-placed server is often faster than an edge function calling a distant database.
