+
+
+

Render

+

+ A hosted, fully managed PaaS, Render handles servers, + networking, and scaling for you, with service types for web + apps, background workers, cron jobs, and managed databases, + all billed per service. +

+

+ Pricing comparison: platform fees vs. per-service compute +

+

+ Dokploy Cloud charges per server, not per service, so your platform + cost stays flat as your app count grows. Render charges a workspace + plan fee plus a separate compute for every service instance, with + managed databases, storage, and bandwidth each billed on top. +
