Cost Comparison with Autoscaling
The tables above compare fixed tiers. A Container App with autoscaling switched on is billed each hour at the tier its memory and CPU reading maps to, so a quiet hour costs less than a busy one.
Autoscaling Advantage
With autoscaling, the hourly bill follows the tier that the app’s memory and CPU reading maps to. The Autoscaling page works through three examples hour by hour:
- A blog with variable traffic: 62.5% below a fixed Tier 4
- A business application with weekend drop-offs: 25% below a fixed Tier 5
- A seasonal e-commerce store: 62.5% below a fixed Tier 6
Additional Cost Considerations
When comparing cloud providers, it’s important to consider all costs, not just the base instance price:
Included Features
RepoCloud includes these at no additional cost:
SSL Certificates
Free SSL for all applications
Custom Domains
No extra charge for custom domains
Updates
On a Container App, Rebuild / Update pulls the latest version at no extra charge. You start it; nothing updates by itself
Monitoring
Logs, the VPS usage charts and the autoscaling usage chart
Data Transfer
Data in is free; data out is free up to a monthly allowance (1 TB for Tier 1 up to 10 TB for Tier 7), then $0.10 per GB
Dedicated IPv4
One dedicated IPv4 address with every VPS App
Total Cost of Ownership
When evaluating cloud providers, consider the total cost of ownership (TCO), which includes:
- Instance Costs: The basic cost of your compute resources
- Data Transfer: Costs for incoming and outgoing traffic
- Additional Services: Databases, load balancers, managed services
- Management Overhead: Time and expertise required to manage the infrastructure
- Scaling Costs: Expenses associated with handling traffic spikes
RepoCloud’s all-in-one approach reduces TCO by:
- Simplifying Management: Less technical expertise required
- Reducing Additional Services: Many features are integrated
- Optimizing Resource Usage: Autoscaling bills an idle hour at the Tier 1 rate instead of a larger fixed tier
- Listing the Main Charges: The tier’s hourly price, an extra SSD, snapshots for VPS Apps, and data transfer out beyond the allowance
Making the Right Choice
While RepoCloud offers significant cost advantages, the right choice depends on your specific needs:
When RepoCloud is Ideal
RepoCloud is particularly cost-effective for:
- Small to medium-sized businesses
- Startups and individual developers
- Applications with variable workloads
- Self-hosted open-source applications
- Projects with limited DevOps resources
- Users who prefer simplicity over complex configurations
When to Consider Alternatives
Other providers might be more suitable for:
- Complex multi-service architectures requiring specialized services
- Applications needing very specific compliance certifications
- Workloads requiring specialized hardware (like GPUs)
- Enterprise applications already optimized for a specific cloud provider
