Compare
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.

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
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
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
