Comparison
Replov vs Fly.io
Fly.io runs Docker images as hardware-isolated Machines in many regions, with usage-based billing and Fly Managed Postgres. It has no India region; the nearest is Singapore.
Replov is a managed PaaS that runs web services, static sites, private services, background workers, cron jobs and Redis in Bangalore, with managed PostgreSQL through Vitibase in Mumbai, priced per service in rupees.

At a glance
| Replov | Fly.io | |
|---|---|---|
| Best suited to | Developers and small teams in India who want apps, workers, cron jobs, Redis and PostgreSQL in Indian regions, priced in rupees. | Teams that want to run containers close to users in many regions and are comfortable with a CLI- and Dockerfile-centred workflow. |
| How you deploy | Connect GitHub and deploy on every push (Auto Deploy), from the dashboard, or from an AI coding agent through the Replov MCP connector. A Dockerfile in the repository is used as written; Node.js gets a generated Dockerfile; other languages are built with Nixpacks. | fly launch / fly deploy from a Dockerfile on Fly’s remote builders; push-to-deploy through a GitHub Actions workflow. |
| Service types | Web service, static site, private service, background worker, cron job (with timezone), Redis. | Process groups (web and worker processes in one app), cron through a scheduler process such as supercronic, private networking over WireGuard. |
| Managed databases | Managed PostgreSQL through Vitibase (with REST APIs, auth, storage and realtime), and managed Redis from the Micro tier. | Fly Managed Postgres (from $38/month); Redis through Upstash, managed by Upstash. |
| Pricing model | Fixed price per service by compute tier, billed hourly or per 30 days from a prepaid wallet. | Usage-based per second with no platform fee; prices vary by region. |
| Free tier or trial | Two Nano static sites per account have no compute charge. Each new service on a tier above Nano gets a 3-day trial. | No free tier; a trial of 2 machine-hours or 7 days, whichever comes first. |
| Smallest paid instance | Nano: 0.5 vCPU, 512 MB, ₹199 per 30 days. | shared-cpu-1x with 256 MB: $2.19/month in its cheapest regions. |
| India region | Yes. Applications run in Bangalore (DigitalOcean BLR1); managed PostgreSQL in Mumbai (AWS ap-south-1). Daily backups are stored in Singapore. | No. The nearest region is Singapore (sin). |
| Regions | India: Bangalore for applications, Mumbai for managed PostgreSQL. | 17 regions across North America, South America, Europe, Africa and Asia-Pacific, including Singapore, Tokyo and Sydney. |
| Scaling | Vertical only (change the compute tier). No horizontal replicas or autoscaling. | Manual machine count; idle machines can stop and start on demand; metric-based autoscaling needs the separate fly-autoscaler app. |
| Custom domains and HTTPS | Custom domains on web services and static sites, verified by CNAME and TXT; automatic Let’s Encrypt certificates. | Custom domains with automatic Let’s Encrypt certificates; the first 10 certificates free. |
| Logs and metrics | Build and runtime logs with live streaming; CPU, memory and network metrics. No log export. | Managed Prometheus and Grafana metrics kept about 15 days. |
| Persistent storage | Volumes of 1–100 GB at ₹15 per GB-month; daily encrypted backups kept 7 days on Micro and above. | Volumes at $0.15 per GB-month of provisioned capacity. |
| Billing currency | INR. | USD. |
When Fly.io is the better fit
- You need to run in several regions close to a global audience.
- You want scale-to-zero machines and fine-grained control over the VM.
When Replov is the better fit
- Your users are in India and you want the app in an Indian region.
- You prefer connecting a GitHub repository in a dashboard to writing deploy workflows, and rupee billing.
- You want managed PostgreSQL and Redis provided with the platform and billed on one wallet.
Moving from Fly.io to Replov
- A Fly app’s Dockerfile can usually be deployed on Replov as is; make the process listen on PORT (3000).
- Each Fly process group becomes a separate Replov service (web service, background worker or cron job).
- Fly volumes map to Replov volumes; copy the data across yourself.
