MapleDeploy is managed Coolify on a dedicated VM in Toronto, from $45 CAD a month. Each comparison below sets where your data is hosted and what you pay side by side. They fall into four groups: PaaS platforms that deploy your code for you, self-hosted PaaS that you install or connect to your own servers, cloud providers that rent you the server to run it on, and Canadian web hosts.

vs PaaS platforms

Most of these platforms deploy from git, like MapleDeploy does. The comparisons look at where your data is hosted, how you're billed, and whether your resources are shared.

  • Canner. Canner is a hosted platform with pooled resources. MapleDeploy runs Coolify on your own dedicated VM.
  • Elestio. Elestio, an Irish company, deploys managed apps and Git pipelines to VMs on clouds you choose. MapleDeploy runs Coolify in Toronto on Canadian-owned infrastructure.
  • Fly.io. A managed Canadian PaaS with flat pricing vs US-incorporated infrastructure primitives with usage-based billing.
  • Heroku. A Canadian PaaS with data residency, dedicated resources, and flat pricing vs US-based containers with per-dyno billing.
  • Netlify. A dedicated Canadian PaaS with flat pricing vs a US-based serverless platform with usage-based billing.
  • Railway. A Canadian PaaS with data residency, dedicated resources, and flat pricing vs US infrastructure with per-resource billing.
  • Render. A Canadian PaaS with data residency and flat pricing on a dedicated VM vs US-based per-service billing.
  • Upsun (formerly Platform.sh). Upsun's Canadian region runs on AWS in Montreal. MapleDeploy runs on Canadian-owned infrastructure.
  • Vercel. A full-stack Canadian PaaS with flat pricing vs a US serverless platform built for frontend frameworks.

vs self-hosted PaaS

These are platforms you install on your own servers. Coolify and Dokploy also sell cloud versions that host the control panel for you, and you still bring and pay for the servers the panel deploys to. Either way, running the servers is yours.

  • CapRover. CapRover is a free, open-source PaaS you install and run on your own server. MapleDeploy runs Coolify and the server for you in Toronto.
  • Coolify Cloud. Coolify Cloud hosts the Coolify panel for servers you bring. MapleDeploy runs the panel and the server in Toronto.
  • Dokku. Dokku is a free, open-source PaaS you run on your own server from the command line. MapleDeploy runs Coolify and the server for you in Toronto.
  • Dokploy Cloud. Dokploy Cloud hosts the Dokploy panel for servers you bring. MapleDeploy runs Coolify and the server for you in Toronto.
  • Easypanel. Easypanel is a commercial panel you install on your own server, licensed per server. MapleDeploy runs Coolify and the server for you in Toronto.

vs cloud providers

Cloud providers rent you servers to administer and managed services to assemble. The comparisons look at what you set up, run and pay for yourself, and what MapleDeploy takes off your hands.

  • AWS. AWS has Canadian regions and services you assemble and run. MapleDeploy runs a managed Coolify server for you in Toronto.
  • Azure. Azure App Service bills per plan, with databases apart. MapleDeploy runs a managed Coolify server in Toronto.
  • DigitalOcean. A managed Droplet alternative with git push deploys on a dedicated Canadian server, not a raw VPS to maintain.
  • Google Cloud. Cloud Run bills by use, with databases apart. MapleDeploy runs a managed Coolify server in Toronto.
  • Hetzner. Hetzner rents low-cost servers in Europe, the US and Singapore. MapleDeploy runs a managed Coolify server in Toronto.
  • OVHcloud. OVHcloud rents servers you administer yourself. MapleDeploy runs a managed Coolify server for you in Toronto.

vs Canadian web hosts

These hosts sell web hosting for websites, plus VPS plans. Shared hosting is much cheaper than a dedicated VM, because it's a different product, and the comparison explains when each fits.

  • Canadian Web Hosting (canadianwebhosting.com). It sells cPanel hosting and VPS plans from Toronto and Vancouver. MapleDeploy runs Coolify on a dedicated Toronto VM.
