A free Fly.io alternative for Node.js
EasyHost is a smaller, free option for Node.js apps. Here are the honest differences from Fly.io, including what you give up.
How they compare
According to Fly.io's own page as of October 2026, there is no free tier, and new accounts get a trial of up to 2 hours of Machine runtime or 7 days, whichever comes first. Check it for current details.
| Area | Fly.io | EasyHost |
|---|---|---|
| Free option | Trial only: 2 Machine hours or 7 days | Free with no trial period |
| Regions | Many | One |
| Docker | Your own Dockerfile | No Dockerfile, built from your package.json |
| Included with each app | Varies by plan | Postgres, S3 bucket and schedules per project |
When EasyHost fits
- Side projects, prototypes and small apps written for Node.js
- Projects where an AI agent handles deployment through a CLI
- Apps that need to stay on for free
When Fly.io is the better choice
- You need multiple regions, autoscaling or a production support plan
- You want Git-based deploys or preview environments
- Your app goes beyond what 512 MB of RAM and 1 CPU can handle
How to move
Read the Fly.io migration guide. If you have a database there, EasyHost's Postgres accepts a normal pg_dump.
Frequently asked questions
Is EasyHost a full replacement for Fly.io?
Not for every app. It runs Node.js only, in one region, with fixed limits. It suits small apps that fit those limits.
