Looking for a Railway alternative
Railway is the closest thing to what we do, and they got a lot of it right before we did. If you are happy there, this page may not be for you.
What Railway is good at
Deploy experience. Connect a repository, get a URL, and the defaults are usually correct — which is harder than it looks.
A clean pricing model and a genuinely good dashboard.
Where we are different
Where it runs
Our machines are in Colombo, Singapore and Bangalore. If your users are in South Asia, the distance between your app and them is the thing you can feel and the thing you cannot fix later.
The AI gateway is in the same account
Every app gets a key to every major model, billed on the same invoice and attributed to that app, so you can see what each one costs to run.
One invoice, in your currency
Billed monthly in local currency rather than on a card in dollars.

Who should not switch
If you are happy on Railway and your users are not in South Asia, there is no reason to move. We would not.
