When Coolify is not a good fit
Coolify is an open source, self-hostable platform for deploying websites, databases and applications to your own server, positioned as an alternative to managed platforms like Vercel, Heroku, Netlify and Railway. Self-hosting is completely free with full access to all features; Coolify also offers a paid Cloud version starting at $5 a month for those who don't want to manage the underlying server themselves.
It is a weaker choice for:
- Teams that don't want to manage or provision any servers at all, even with Coolify Cloud, which still requires connecting your own servers
- Projects that want a fully managed platform with no self-hosting component whatsoever
- Teams without the operational capacity to keep a self-hosted deployment platform patched and running
