Best Heroku alternatives

Heroku is the target these four hosting tools are listed against, and one of them, Coolify, is marked open source. Fly.io is described as running full stack apps and databases close to your users, Railway promises to handle the infrastructure when you bring your code, and Render is a unified cloud to build and run all your apps and websites. Coolify is the outlier in approach in this set, as an open-source and self-hosted Heroku and Vercel alternative, with listed pricing from a hobby tier with a free allowance and usage-based free trials to free tiers and a self-hosted free option with cloud SaaS.
