Why Developers Switch from Vercel/Railway
Cloud platforms charge per-request, per-bandwidth, per-function:
- $0/month — Coolify on a $5 VPS vs $20+/month on Vercel Pro
- No cold starts — your app runs 24/7 on your server
- No egress fees — unlimited bandwidth on your VPS
- Full control — SSH access, custom configs, your data stays yours
A side-project that cost $47/month on Railway now costs $6/month on a Hetzner VPS with Coolify — same performance, 87% savings.
