01The field
Find the one you are weighing.
Six kinds of product, grouped by the one question each comparison turns on.
02Hosted
Hosted platforms on their own hardware
Railway and Render run your code on hardware they own and meter it. Anyport runs it on a cluster you already pay for, and runs one for you only when you have none, so the comparison is about where the bill goes.
- Anyport vs RailwayDeploy from Git onto Railway's own hardware, billed by the vCPU and gigabyte. No infrastructure of yours is involved.Whose hardwareRailwayRailway'sAnyportYours, or ours if you have none
- Anyport vs RenderA hosted PaaS with fixed instance sizes, a free tier that sleeps, and compliance reports. Everything runs on Render's infrastructure.Whose hardwareRenderRender'sAnyportYours, or ours if you have none
03Docker
Self-hosted PaaS on Docker
Coolify, Dokploy, Peon and CapRover deploy Docker to Linux servers, usually over SSH. Anyport deploys to Kubernetes, so the comparison is about which runtime you want to operate.
- Anyport vs CoolifyThe category leader by adoption. Docker over SSH, free forever, and no Kubernetes.RuntimeCoolifyDockerAnyportKubernetes
- Anyport vs DokployDocker Compose as the source of truth, Docker Swarm underneath for multiple nodes.RuntimeDokployDocker and TraefikAnyportKubernetes
- Anyport vs PeonDocker over SSH with project roles, audit logs and an in-app AI assistant. Cloud control plane at 3 dollars a project.RuntimePeonDockerAnyportKubernetes
- Anyport vs CapRoverDocker Swarm and nginx, Apache-2.0, deliberately small. Mature and slow-moving.RuntimeCapRoverDocker SwarmAnyportKubernetes
04Kubernetes
Self-hosted PaaS on Kubernetes
Canine is the closest product to this one. The comparison turns on how each reaches the cluster: a kubeconfig it dials, or an agent that dials out.
05Commercial
Commercial Kubernetes platforms
Northflank, Qovery and Porter start from a cloud account and a cluster that can hand out public addresses. Anyport starts from any cluster, including one nothing can reach.
- Anyport vs NorthflankThe closest architectural analogue. A hosted control plane, your cluster, and a documented list of what that cluster must be.What your infrastructure must exposeNorthflankPublic LoadBalancer IPsAnyportNothing
- Anyport vs QoveryProvisions and operates Kubernetes in your cloud account, with a bring-your-own-Kubernetes option.What your infrastructure must exposeQoveryA cloud account it can provision inAnyportNothing
- Anyport vs PorterA PaaS that runs in your own cloud account, on AWS, GCP or Azure.What your infrastructure must exposePorterA supported cloud accountAnyportNothing
06Distribution
Shipping software into customer environments
Replicated, Omnistrate and Distr hand software to customers who run it. Anyport is for the team that keeps operating it, wherever the cluster sits.
- Anyport vs ReplicatedThe incumbent for ISVs distributing software to customers, with licensing, air-gap and support tooling. Priced accordingly.Who administers the applicationReplicatedYour customerAnyportYou do
- Anyport vs OmnistrateA private-label control plane for vendors, with the same egress-only connectivity model we use.What it isOmnistrateA private-label control planeAnyportA control plane your team uses
- Anyport vs DistrAn open-source distribution platform for Docker Compose and Helm, priced well below the incumbent.Who administers the applicationDistrYour customerAnyportYou do
07Reachability
Reachability tools, which are not deployment platforms
Pangolin publishes what already runs. Anyport overlaps with it on that one function, and only as a consequence of the deploy.
