Rock8Cloud
The predictable Railway alternative

Rock8Cloud vs Railway

Metered bills surprise you. Flat plans don't.

Railway meters CPU and memory per minute, so the price arrives with the invoice. Rock8Cloud is a flat monthly plan - a reserved resource pool, build minutes and an AI allowance in one number you know before you deploy. Extra capacity is fixed-price add-ons, not metered spend. 30 days free, no card.

100% is CPU your services can use at any moment, all month, like our reserved pool. Railway meters only the CPU your code actually burns, even while it is awake, so lower it for services that mostly sit idle.

Your stack takes 1.75 vCPU + 3 GiB from our pool, Postgres and Redis included. Whatever the plan doesn't cover becomes fixed-price add-ons, never metered usage.
