Compare

Deploy ON vs Railway, Render, Vercel, and Heroku

Four honest pages. Same reference app on each: A small always-on Node.js API plus PostgreSQL. One custom domain, HTTPS, about 512 MB of RAM for the app, a small Postgres instance, and low traffic. Not a serverless frontend-only site.

Deploy ON side of the price is Pro at 50 ₾/month (about $18.5) for the application. Managed Postgres is a separate package. Competitor prices are public list prices as of October 2026, in USD. They move. Read the linked pricing pages before you switch.

Deploy ON vs Railway

Both take Git to a container URL. Railway meters RAM, CPU, disk, and egress. Deploy ON sells a monthly quota in GEL.

Same app on Railway: ~$18–30 / month

Deploy ON vs Render

Render is the closest product: Git, always-on web services, and managed Postgres. You buy instance sizes. Deploy ON sells a shared monthly quota.

Same app on Render: $13–26 / month

Deploy ON vs Vercel

This is the least fair head-to-head. Vercel is built for Next.js, edge, and functions. Deploy ON is built for processes that stay up and sit next to a database.

Same app on Vercel: $20–40+ / month

Deploy ON vs Heroku

Heroku invented this shape of PaaS. You still buy dynos and add-ons. Deploy ON sells a Kubernetes quota and bills in GEL.

Same app on Heroku: $12 / month
