Coolify pricing, price hikes and cheaper alternatives

Coolify (coolify.io) is a server control panel. The self-hosted panel is free with no server, app or user caps, while the hosted Cloud plan costs $5/month for 2 servers plus $3/month per extra server.. Free plan: Self-hosted edition is free forever with unlimited servers, apps and users; you supply the servers.

What Coolify costs

  • 1 server: free (Self-hosted Coolify has no server, app or user limits, so 1 server, 10 apps and 1 admin is $0 (server and domain bills excluded).)
  • 5 servers: free (Self-hosted Coolify covers 5 servers, 50 apps and unlimited users at $0. For comparison, Coolify Cloud would be $5 base (2 servers) + 3 extra servers at $3 = $14/month, plus a per-team subscription whose price is not printed, so it is not used.)

Plan compared: Self-hosted edition (free), 1 server with 10 apps and 1 admin. The panel or management fee only, per month on monthly billing; the servers you rent cost extra and aren't included. A free self-hosted edition counts as $0 when it allows commercial use and covers the scenario.
