Sliplane vs. Koyeb

Sliplane takes a radically different approach to container hosting. While Koyeb focuses on serverless and scale-to-zero, we give you a dedicated server where you can run any workload - stateful or stateless - for one fixed monthly price.
How It Works
Simple: You rent a server (starting at €9/month), and run any containerized workload it can handle. Whether that's databases, background workers, or 20 different services - your cost stays the same.
The Key Difference: Everything vs. Serverless-First
Koyeb is built for serverless:
- Scale-to-zero workloads
- Variable traffic APIs
- Complex usage-based pricing
- Limited database support (PostgreSQL only)
- Not ideal for always-on workers
Sliplane runs everything:
- Any Docker container
- All databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, etc.)
- 24/7 background workers
- One fixed price
- No workload restrictions
Here's how easy it is to deploy something like n8n on Sliplane:
Real Cost Comparison
Koyeb:
- Pro plan: $29/month base
- Compute charges per service
- Volume costs for databases
- Total for typical app: ~$70-90/month
Sliplane:
- Medium server: €24/month
- Everything included
- No surprise bills
Example: Full-Stack SaaS
A typical setup with frontend, API, PostgreSQL, Redis, and background workers:
- Koyeb: ~$70-90/month (variable with usage)
- Sliplane: €24/month (fixed)
When Koyeb Makes Sense
Koyeb excels at serverless workloads with highly variable traffic and global edge deployments. But for traditional applications, databases, and mixed workloads? Sliplane's simplicity wins.
The Bottom Line
Most apps aren't pure serverless. They need databases, background workers, and predictable costs. That's where Sliplane shines - run whatever you need for one fixed price.
