Rock8Cloud
The full-stack Vercel alternative

Rock8Cloud vs Vercel

Vercel scales to zero. We stay always on.

Vercel is a great frontend cloud, and since mid-2026 it runs your Dockerfile too - as a stateless function that winds down when traffic stops. The always-on part of your product still needs a home: the workers, the queues, the websockets, Postgres and Redis. Rock8Cloud runs the whole stack in one place, always on, with AI code review, sandbox agents and logs & health included. 30 days free, no card.

100% is CPU your services can use at any moment, all month, like our reserved pool. Vercel 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.

Estimates for one month, excluding VAT. Vercel Pro in Frankfurt: active CPU billed for the load you set, memory provisioned all month. Postgres runs on Neon Launch at its smallest size, always on like ours. Neon's free plan sleeps after 5 idle minutes and stops at 100 CU-hours a month. Redis is Upstash Fixed 250 MB from the Marketplace. AI code review on their side is CodeRabbit Essentials at $30 per developer, billed monthly. Ours draws from the plan's AI budget, and larger teams can top it up anytime. Prices as of October 2026, USD converted at $1 = 0.89 €.

Side by side

Request-driven functionsagainst always-on services.

Vercel prices by developer seat and metered compute, and now runs containers the same way it runs functions - stateless, request in and response out. Rock8Cloud prices by plan and keeps your services running.
