Comparison
FlyNode vs. generic PaaS
Generic platforms are built to run any web app adequately. We built FlyNode to run your specific workloads exceptionally — here's the real difference.
| Capability | FlyNode | Generic PaaS |
|---|---|---|
| Billing model | One shared resource pool per plan | Priced per app / per dyno |
| Resource isolation | True CPU/RAM isolation per account | Oversold, noisy-neighbor VMs |
| Specialized 1-click apps | n8n, sGTM, Hermes, OpenClaw, 350+ | Generic buildpacks only |
| Networking | Private NAT network between your apps | Public-only, or paid add-on |
| Cold starts | None — dedicated, always-on compute | Common on lower tiers |
| Pricing predictability | Flat monthly fee, no usage surprises | Usage-based, can spike |
| Custom GitHub deploys | Included on every plan | Often gated to higher tiers |
| Resource monitoring | Live RAM/CPU/storage dashboard | Third-party add-on required |
