MapleDeploy gives you a dedicated Toronto VM with your own Coolify instance on it and looks after both the server and Coolify. - question: Does Coolify Cloud maintain my servers? answer: >- No. Coolify's documentation lists server OS updates, hardening and firewall policy, application and database data, and application backups as yours to manage. Its managed updates are limited to Coolify itself. - question: How does MapleDeploy pricing compare to Coolify Cloud? answer: >- Coolify Cloud is listed at $5/month for two connected servers, plus $3/month for each additional server, and you pay your server provider separately. MapleDeploy starts at $45 CAD/month for a dedicated VM with 4 GB RAM, 2 vCPUs and 35 GB of storage, with the server, Coolify and its upkeep included. - question: Where does Coolify Cloud run? answer: >- Coolify's documentation says Coolify Cloud runs on Hetzner infrastructure in Falkenstein, Germany. Your applications and their data run on the servers you connect, wherever those are. On MapleDeploy, both your Coolify instance and your server are hosted in Toronto. lastUpdated: '2026-11-13' type: article author: Ross Hill locale: en_CA site_name: MapleDeploy slogan: Powerful hosting on Canadian soil organization_url: 'https://mapledeploy.ca/' logo: 'https://mapledeploy.ca//api/logo/lockup' creator: MapleDeploy publisher: MapleDeploy founding_date: '2026-01-13' email: hello@mapledeploy.ca geo_region: CA-ON geo_placename: Toronto address_country: CA area_served: Canada application_category: DeveloperApplication app_url: 'https://app.mapledeploy.ca' llms_txt: 'https://mapledeploy.ca/llms.txt' offers: >- Starter $45/mo, Pro $95/mo, Ultra $195/mo, Ultra 32 $395/mo, Ultra 64 $695/mo CAD in_language: en-CA canonical_url: 'https://mapledeploy.ca/compare/coolify-cloud' --- {% hero-section title="MapleDeploy vs Coolify Cloud" %} Both run Coolify for you. Only one runs the server too. {% button href="https://app.mapledeploy.ca/signup" size="large" %} Start your free trial {% /button %} {% /hero-section %} {% intro-section %} Coolify Cloud is the official hosted version of Coolify, run by the team that builds it. It hosts the Coolify control panel and deploys your apps onto servers you bring. MapleDeploy is managed Coolify with the server included: a dedicated Toronto VM with your own Coolify instance, both looked after for you. This page covers what each one manages, what it costs, and where it runs. {% /intro-section %} {% comparison-table-section title="Side by side" competitor="Coolify Cloud" %} | Feature | Coolify Cloud | MapleDeploy | | --- | --- | --- | | What you get | Hosted Coolify control panel | Dedicated VM with your own Coolify instance | | Servers | Bring your own, from any provider | Included | | Server OS updates and hardening | You | Handled for you | | Coolify updates | Handled for you | Handled for you | | Server backups | You | Weekly full-server snapshots included | | Control panel location | Falkenstein, Germany (Hetzner) | Toronto, Canada | | App location | Wherever your servers are | Toronto, Canada | | Coolify code | Official Coolify | Public fork, rebased regularly against upstream | | Pricing | $5/mo for 2 servers, +$3/mo each after, plus your server bills | From $45 CAD/mo, server included | {% /comparison-table-section %} {% content-section title="When Coolify Cloud is the right choice" %} Coolify Cloud is a good deal for what it does. For $5 a month, the Coolify team hosts, updates and backs up the control panel, and you never give a server's CPU or RAM to running Coolify itself. It fits best when you already run servers you're happy with. Maybe you have a few machines across providers, or a fleet you already patch with your own tooling. Connecting them to a hosted panel takes one thing off your list without changing anything else. It's also a direct way to pay the people who build Coolify. If that matters to you, it's a fair reason on its own. {% /content-section %} {% content-section title="What Coolify Cloud leaves to you" %} Coolify Cloud manages the **control panel**, not your servers. Coolify's own documentation is clear about the split. Server OS updates, hardening and firewall policy are yours. So are your application and database data, and your application backups and restores. Its managed updates cover Coolify only. Coolify's pricing page notes they don't include changes to the resources you deploy. That means the server maintenance from self-hosting is still there. Kernel patches, closing ports, watching the disk fill with Docker images, and restoring a lost machine all stay with you. We cover that list in more detail in [self-hosting Coolify vs managed Coolify](/blog/self-hosted-vs-managed-coolify). {% /content-section %} {% content-section title="What MapleDeploy handles" %} MapleDeploy runs the server and the Coolify instance together. You get a [dedicated VM in Toronto](/canadian-hosting), not a shared container, and it's ready in minutes. - **Security hardening.** SSH key authentication, fail2ban, outbound SMTP blocking, and automatic security patches, applied before you first log in. - **OS patches.** Operating system updates and kernel patches are applied for you. When a kernel update needs a reboot, it happens in a fixed 07:50 UTC window. - **Coolify itself.** We run a [public fork of Coolify](/open-source-stack) that we rebase regularly against upstream. Changes are limited to Canadian branding and MapleDeploy integrations. - **Snapshots.** Weekly full-server snapshots covering the OS, Coolify, containers, volumes and databases. Snapshots are disaster recovery, not granular restores. For production databases, you should still set up Coolify's S3 database backups on a daily schedule. {% /content-section %} {% content-section title="Comparing the cost" %} The two prices buy different things, so compare the totals. With Coolify Cloud, the bill is $5 a month for up to two connected servers and $3 for each one after that, plus whatever your server provider charges. The other cost is your time: the server upkeep above is still yours. MapleDeploy starts at [$45 CAD/month](/#pricing) for a dedicated VM with 4 GB RAM, 2 vCPUs and 35 GB of storage. The server, Coolify, patches and snapshots are in that price, with no per-project or usage fees. Starter and Pro include a 30-day free trial. If you enjoy running servers, Coolify Cloud plus a VPS will usually cost less. If you'd rather not, the difference buys back the evenings. {% /content-section %} {% content-section title="Where your data lives" %} Coolify's documentation says Coolify Cloud runs on Hetzner infrastructure in **Falkenstein, Germany**. Your apps and their data run on whichever servers you connect, so their location is up to you. MapleDeploy keeps both halves in one place. Your Coolify instance and the server it deploys to are hosted in **Toronto**, under **Canadian jurisdiction**, on infrastructure built for **PIPEDA** compliance. If you need your apps and the panel that manages them hosted in Canada, that's included on every plan. {% /content-section %} {% image-content-section title="Try it free for 30 days" src="dashboard-checkout-trial-zoom-summary" width=824 height=952 href="https://app.mapledeploy.ca/signup" %} Start with $0 due today.
