A few useful answers
Before you begin.
How do you keep these comparisons fair?
Every fact about another platform comes from its own public pricing or documentation page, linked on each comparison and checked on 2 October 2026. If something has changed, tell us at support@lahyer.com.
Are starting prices the same as total cost?
No. Each platform counts usage differently, so compare the allowances that matter for your app, not only the monthly price.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Free includes 5 projects, 500 build minutes, 100 GB of data out and a 1 GB Postgres database. It needs no card and is not a time-limited trial.
