# A free Koyeb alternative for Node.js

EasyHost is a smaller, free option for Node.js apps. Here are the honest differences from Koyeb, including what you give up.

## How they compare

According to [Koyeb's own page](https://www.koyeb.com/pricing) as of October 2026, the pricing page lists a free Postgres instance with 5 hours of compute and 1 GB of storage that scales to zero when inactive. Check it for current details.

| Area | Koyeb | EasyHost |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Free Postgres | 5 hours of compute, 1 GB of storage | No compute-hour meter, one per project |
| Regions | Several | One |
| Language support | Many languages | Node.js only |
| 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 Koyeb 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 [Koyeb migration guide](/migrate/koyeb). If you have a database there, EasyHost's [Postgres](/products/postgres) accepts a normal `pg_dump`.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is EasyHost a full replacement for Koyeb?

Not for every app. It runs Node.js only, in one region, with fixed limits. It suits small apps that fit those limits.
