You are missing https://unikraft.com/pricing. Amazing compute, 2 instances free. A German company. Offers EU hosting too. Just a happy paying user myself

You can only sign-up via Google or GitHub, so American companies. Definitely doesn't belong on the list.

Hm, interesting. But the pricing page is quite confusing to me: the $39 "pro plan" says "Up to 8 instances running". And above that, "Pricing that scales to zero". But if I'm always paying $39, what's the point of scaling to zero vs just keeping the 8 instances running? I guess the point is that you can scale down one workload and scale up another, but that seems a bit niche compared to the much more common use case of "scale up with increased user activity, and pay less when users are sleeping".

It's missing some sort of per-minute / per-GB RAM "pay as you go" pricing model. It seems like Fly.io, but missing the pay-as-you-go pricing & rapid scaling model that makes Fly worth using.

How do they compare to the likes of fly.io, Railway, Render, Northflank ?
