Developer platform for deploying apps, databases and GPUs, with a free sandbox
Updated
Northflank is a developer platform (PaaS) for engineering teams that build, deploy and scale applications, databases and jobs on managed Kubernetes. It runs on Northflank's own cloud or in your cloud account through bring your own cloud (BYOC). Pricing is usage-based with a free Sandbox plan.
Teams connect a Git repository or container image, define services and jobs, and Northflank builds and runs them on Kubernetes. Usage is billed monthly in USD, prorated to the second. On BYOC, your cloud provider bills the infrastructure.
Developers and platform teams that want PaaS convenience with the option to run in their own cloud use Northflank. Enterprise adds SLAs and white-labelling.
Sandbox is free with no card: 2 services, 2 jobs, 1 database, up to $20 per month of Northflank Cloud resources and one BYOC cluster. Pay as you go starts at $0.01667 per vCPU-hour, $0.00833 per GB-hour of memory, $0.11657 per GiB-month of disk and $0.06 per GB egress. Example compute plans run from $12 per month for 0.5 vCPU and 1 GB to $192 for 8 vCPU and 16 GB. Enterprise is custom.
The vendor's pricing page names Stripe for payments and the Platform SDK for automation, plus SAML and SCIM on Enterprise. It does not list other third-party integrations.
Render is a PaaS the vendor compares itself with, citing 36 to 45% lower prices for comparable services. Railway and Fly.io are developer-focused platforms with usage-based pricing. Spacelift and Harness are infrastructure automation and CI/CD tools rather than application hosting.
