koigrid vs Fly.io
Managed apps with a flat rate and bandwidth included — the no-surprises alternative to Fly.io.
Fly.io runs your containers close to users, but pricing is usage-metered across CPU, RAM, volumes and bandwidth, and you operate much of it yourself. Flat-rate, managed and EU-hosted is a calmer default.
Same setup — what you actually pay
You save ~$14/mo (29%)

Frequently asked questions
Is koigrid cheaper than Fly.io?
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 Fly.io 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.
Is my data hosted in the EU?
Yes. koigrid is EU-hosted (on Hetzner) with data sovereignty by default.
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.
