GitHub description
"Open Source Alternative to Vercel, Netlify and Heroku."

Self-host vs Heroku

Example values: replace every number with your own. None of them is vendor data.

Self-hosting saves about $780 a year for 20 seats: SaaS $2,400 vs self-host $1,620 (server $144, backups $36, admin time $1,440). Break-even at about 14 seats at these numbers.

Admin hours start from our guess for difficulty unrated and are yours to edit. Heroku price: $5 a month flat (Eco plan). No per-seat price. Per-dyno, no per-seat price: Eco $5/mo, Basic $7/mo, Standard-1X $25/mo, Standard-2X $50/mo, Performance-M $250/mo. Corroborated from third-party reads of the vendor page.
