# European alternatives to Fly.io in 2026

Last updated: 2026-11-10

If you like how Fly.io runs containers but need a European provider, **Koyeb** and **Scaleway Serverless Containers** work in a similar way: you bring an app or an image and pay for compute by the second. **Eurobase** suits apps you'd rather deploy with a Git push at a flat €10 or €20 a month, **Clever Cloud** and **Sliplane** suit apps that need a managed database next to them, and **Exoscale** or **Hetzner with Coolify** suit teams that want to manage the servers themselves.

Fly.io has 5 of its 17 regions in Europe, but Fly.io, Inc. is a US company with terms under California law.

## Fly.io alternatives at a glance

| Platform | Based in | How you deploy | Starts at | Managed Postgres |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Scaleway Serverless Containers | France | A container image | Free tier, then billed by use | Sold separately |
| Eurobase | Warsaw, Poland | Git push, built with buildpacks | Free, then €10 a month + VAT | No |
| Clever Cloud | France | Git push, including Docker apps | Free credits, then billed by the second | Yes |
| Sliplane | Berlin, Germany | GitHub with framework detection, a Dockerfile or an image | €9 per server, excl. VAT | Yes, from €19 a month, excl. VAT |
| Exoscale | Switzerland | Managed Kubernetes or virtual machines | Starter Kubernetes cluster free, nodes billed by use | Yes |
| Hetzner with Coolify | Germany, with open-source Coolify | Coolify on a server you rent | Server listed from €5.49 a month excl. VAT | You run it yourself |

Prices are from each provider's own page, checked on 9 and 10 November 2026.

## What to check before you leave Fly

- **Dockerfile or buildpacks.** If your Fly app builds from a Dockerfile, Koyeb, Clever Cloud, Sliplane and Scaleway can run that container. Eurobase builds from source with buildpacks and doesn't use Dockerfiles.
- **State on disk.** Fly Volumes are tied to the region they were created in. Find out where your data lives and whether the new platform offers attached storage, a managed database or object storage for it.
- **The company, not just the region.** A European region on a US platform is still a US contract. Read the terms and the subprocessor list.
- **How the bill grows.** Per-second billing follows traffic, so a spike costs more. A flat plan caps the bill but refuses work at its limits.

## 1. Koyeb

Koyeb is a French company that runs apps in VMs on bare-metal servers, deployed on a GitHub push, from a Dockerfile or from a pre-built image in any registry. Its European core regions are Frankfurt and Paris, and its site says the company is joining Mistral AI.

- **Best for:** Fly users who want the same model, containers billed per second, from a company in France.
- **Price:** one free web service with 512 MB of RAM and 0.1 vCPU in Frankfurt or Washington, D.C. Paid plans start with Pro at $29 a month, which includes $10 of compute, and compute is billed by the second after that. A credit card is required to sign up.
- **What it lacks:** a fixed monthly total. Its regions also include the US and Asia, so choose Frankfurt or Paris.

## 2. Scaleway Serverless Containers

Scaleway is a French cloud provider. Serverless Containers run any image in Paris, Amsterdam, Warsaw or Milan and scale from zero to 200 instances.

- **Best for:** teams that already build images in CI and want to pay only while the container runs.
- **Price:** 400,000 GB-s of memory and 200,000 vCPU-s free each month, then €0.20 per 100,000 GB-s and €1 per 100,000 vCPU-s.
- **What it lacks:** a build step from Git. You build and push the image, then wire up the deployment yourself.

## 3. Eurobase

Eurobase builds your app from GitHub, GitLab, Codeberg, Forgejo or Gitea on every push. Servers in Node.js, Python, Go, Java, Ruby, PHP and .NET are built with Paketo buildpacks and run as containers on Scaleway Serverless Containers, and they scale to zero when idle. Next.js, Astro and Nuxt can run on V8 isolates instead.

- **Best for:** apps that build from source without a custom Dockerfile, where you want a predictable monthly bill.
- **Price:** a Free plan with 250 hours of container active time a month, then Starter at €10 and Pro at €20 a month + VAT for the whole workspace. Nothing is billed by usage today: work over a limit is refused, apps on V8 isolates and Functions stop until the monthly reset, and containers keep serving.
- **Company:** a business registered in Warsaw, Poland. Apps run on European infrastructure operated by Scaleway, a French provider.
- **What it lacks:** Dockerfile builds, managed Postgres, MySQL or Redis, and preview deployments. It's working toward ISO 27001 and SOC 2 but holds neither yet.

## 4. Clever Cloud

Clever Cloud is a French platform that deploys on a Git push and lists Docker applications among its runtimes. Its hardware sits in datacenters it operates in France, and it holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and HDS certificates.

- **Best for:** companies that need certifications and want PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis or MongoDB managed by the same provider.
- **Price:** resources are billed by the second, and you set the maximum you're willing to spend when the app scales. New accounts get free credits without a payment card.
- **What it lacks:** a price you can read off the page. You estimate the bill with its calculator.

## 5. Sliplane

Sliplane is headquartered in Berlin. It detects your framework automatically from a GitHub repository, and can also build from a Dockerfile or run a Docker image, with zero-downtime deploys, logs and metrics. You rent a server and run as many services on it as fit.

- **Best for:** several small services at one fixed price.
- **Price:** servers from €9 for 1 vCPU and 1 GB of RAM, excl. VAT. Managed PostgreSQL starts at €19 a month. A demo server is free for 48 hours.
- **What it lacks:** billing per request, since you pay for each server while it runs. Its server locations include the US and Singapore as well as Europe, so set the region when you create the server.

## 6. Exoscale

Exoscale is a Swiss cloud, part of A1 Digital, with zones in Frankfurt, Munich, Vienna, Geneva, Zurich, Sofia and Zagreb. It offers managed Kubernetes called SKS, virtual machines billed by the second and managed PostgreSQL, and lists ISO 27001 and BSI C5.

- **Best for:** teams already at home with Kubernetes.
- **Price:** an SKS Starter cluster is free and a Pro cluster with a 99.95% SLA costs €0.054995 an hour. Nodes are billed separately, from €0.00729 an hour for a 512 MB instance, excl. tax.
- **What it lacks:** a push-to-deploy workflow. You run the cluster's workloads and your build pipeline yourself.

## 7. Hetzner with Coolify

Coolify is open-source software that adds a deployment dashboard for apps, databases and one-click services to a server you control. Hetzner is a German host with cloud servers in Germany, Finland, Singapore and the US.

- **Best for:** teams with the time to look after a server and a tight budget.
- **Price:** Hetzner lists its CPX02 at €5.49 a month excl. VAT in Helsinki and €6.49 in Falkenstein or Nuremberg, but its entry plans showed as unavailable to order on 10 November 2026. Self-hosted Coolify is free, and Coolify Cloud costs $5 a month for 2 connected servers.
- **What it lacks:** a support team that runs things for you. Backups, updates, scaling and outages land on your desk.

## Moving an app off Fly.io

1. Read your `fly.toml`: the internal port, environment variables, mounts and the regions you use.
2. Copy your secrets from wherever you keep the original values into the new platform.
3. Export your database with `pg_dump` and copy any files from Fly Volumes to the new storage.
4. Deploy on the new platform's default address and test the main user paths.
5. Cut the DNS TTL in advance, repoint the domain, and leave the Fly app running until requests stop arriving there.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is there a European company like Fly.io?

Koyeb is a close match: a French company that runs containers in VMs and bills compute by the second. Scaleway is also French and bills by use, but you bring a built image.

### Does Fly.io have servers in Europe?

Yes. Its regions include Amsterdam, Stockholm, Paris, Frankfurt and London. The provider is still Fly.io, Inc., with terms under California law, so a European region alone doesn't make your provider European. More in [EU region vs EU company](/i/eu-region-vs-eu-company-cloud-act).

### Can I deploy my Fly Dockerfile to a European platform?

Yes, on Koyeb, Clever Cloud and Sliplane, or as a pushed image on Scaleway. Eurobase doesn't build Dockerfiles, so an app on Eurobase has to build with buildpacks from source.

### Is there a free European alternative to Fly.io?

Fly.io has no free tier, only a $1 trial credit for 7 days. Koyeb gives one free web service in Frankfurt, Eurobase has a Free plan with hard limits, and Scaleway has a monthly free allowance.

### Where can I run Postgres instead of Fly Managed Postgres?

Fly's Managed Postgres starts at $38 a month. Koyeb, Clever Cloud, Sliplane and Exoscale all offer a managed PostgreSQL. Eurobase doesn't, so you'd pair it with a separate database provider.
