At a glance
| Replov | Render | |
|---|---|---|
| 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 a broad managed platform with managed Postgres, autoscaling on paid plans, and a free tier for experiments. |
| 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. | Git-connected services auto-deploy on each push (or after CI checks pass); native runtimes, a Dockerfile, or a prebuilt image. |
| Service types | Web service, static site, private service, background worker, cron job (with timezone), Redis. | Web service, static site, private service, background worker, cron job and workflows. |
| Managed databases | Managed PostgreSQL through Vitibase (with REST APIs, auth, storage and realtime), and managed Redis from the Micro tier. | Render Postgres (from $6/month) and Render Key Value, Redis-compatible (from $10/month). |
| Pricing model | Fixed price per service by compute tier, billed hourly or per 30 days from a prepaid wallet. | Workspace plan (Hobby $0, Pro $25/month, Scale $499/month) plus a fixed price per instance, prorated by the second. |
| 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. | Free web services (spin down after 15 minutes idle; 750 instance hours a month per workspace), free Postgres for 30 days, free Key Value without persistence. |
| Smallest paid instance | Nano: 0.5 vCPU, 512 MB, ₹199 per 30 days. | Starter: 0.5 CPU, 512 MB, $7/month. |
| 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. |
| Regions | India: Bangalore for applications, Mumbai for managed PostgreSQL. | Oregon, Ohio, Virginia, Frankfurt, Singapore. |
| Scaling | Vertical only (change the compute tier). No horizontal replicas or autoscaling. | Manual scaling on every plan; CPU/memory autoscaling on Pro and above. Services with a disk cannot scale out. |
| Custom domains and HTTPS | Custom domains on web services and static sites, verified by CNAME and TXT; automatic Let’s Encrypt certificates. | Custom domains on web services and static sites with automatic TLS; 2 included on Hobby, 15 on Pro. |
| Logs and metrics | Build and runtime logs with live streaming; CPU, memory and network metrics. No log export. | Log retention of 7 days (Hobby), 14 days (Pro), 30 days (Scale); log streaming to external providers. |
| Persistent storage | Volumes of 1–100 GB at ₹15 per GB-month; daily encrypted backups kept 7 days on Micro and above. | Persistent disks at $0.25 per GB-month, one instance per disk; a disk rules out zero-downtime deploys. |

When Render is the better fit
- You need autoscaling, preview-style workflows or regions outside India.
- You want a free tier for web services and databases while experimenting.
- Your users are outside India or Singapore latency is acceptable.
When Replov is the better fit
- You want the app to run in India and to be billed in rupees from a prepaid wallet.
- You run workers and cron jobs alongside a web app and want each priced as a fixed tier.
- You want managed PostgreSQL (Vitibase) and Redis in India on the same wallet as your apps.
Moving from Render to Replov
- Render’s service types map one-to-one: web service, static site, private service, background worker and cron job all exist on Replov.
- Move Render Postgres to managed PostgreSQL on Vitibase with pg_dump and pg_restore; linked apps receive DATABASE_URL.
- Render Key Value maps to Replov Redis.
- Replov has no autoscaling or horizontal replicas; size the tier for peak load.
