A free Railway alternative for Node.js
EasyHost is a smaller, free option for Node.js apps. Here are the honest differences from Railway, including what you give up.
How they compare
According to Railway's own page as of October 2026, the Free plan is described as for small apps with $1 of free credit per month, on top of a trial. Check it for current details.
| Area | Railway | EasyHost |
|---|---|---|
| Free allowance | $1 of credit per month | Fixed limits with no credit meter |
| Billing model | Usage-based | Free within limits |
| Git integration | Yes | No, deploys use the CLI |
| 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 Railway 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

Frequently asked questions
Is EasyHost a full replacement for Railway?
Not for every app. It runs Node.js only, in one region, with fixed limits. It suits small apps that fit those limits.
