Most pricing pages quote the web process on its own. A real app is a web process, a Postgres database and usually a cache, and the database is often the line that decides the bill. This post prices that whole stack on seven developer platforms: Ownkube, Northflank, DigitalOcean, Railway, Fly.io, Render and Heroku. Every competitor figure is illustrative, mapped to the provider's nearest public tier as charted on our homepage on 2026-10-02. Check each provider's pricing page before you commit, since prices move.

TL;DR

For a 1 vCPU / 1 GiB web app at steady load, a 1 GiB Postgres with 10 GB of storage and a small cache, the monthly total runs from about $27 on Ownkube to about $89 on Heroku.

Northflank (about $37) and DigitalOcean (about $42) are the closest to Ownkube. Railway lands around $44, Fly.io and Render in the high $50s.
