koigrid vs DigitalOcean
Flat-rate, all-in-one managed cloud — the predictable alternative to DigitalOcean App Platform.
DigitalOcean is developer-friendly, but App Platform bills per component by usage, managed databases are a separate add-on, and it is not agent-native. koigrid gives you apps AND managed Postgres HA, Redis, storage and cron at one flat rate and drivable end-to-end by an AI agent.
Same setup — what you actually pay
You save ~$9/mo (20%)
For a small production app + an HA Postgres database. Estimate from public pricing; koigrid is flat-rate with egress included. (prices reviewed 2026-07-14)

Frequently asked questions
Is koigrid cheaper than DigitalOcean?
koigrid is flat-rate with bandwidth included — no per-GB egress or per-request fees. For a comparable setup you usually pay a lot less (see the estimate above).
Can I migrate from DigitalOcean without lock-in?
Yes. koigrid runs on portable primitives — standard PostgreSQL, S3-compatible storage and containers — so you can move in (or out) whenever you want.
Where is my data hosted?
In data centers in the EU, on servers we run ourselves. The privacy policy says exactly where.
Can I run everything from an API or an AI agent?
Yes — koigrid is API-first and agent-native: every action has an API and a scoped token, with llms.txt and OpenAPI so an LLM can operate it end to end.
