Anyport vs Qovery
Qovery
A cloud account it can provision in
We have not verified what the BYOK path requires.
What your infrastructure must expose
Anyport
Nothing
No inbound port, no public IP, no reachable API server.
Qovery's centre of gravity is a cloud account. Give it credentials for AWS, GCP, Azure or Scaleway and it provisions and operates a Kubernetes cluster for you, which is a genuinely different offer from ours: we never create infrastructure in your account.
They also have a bring-your-own-Kubernetes path for clusters you manage yourself, so if you have a cloud account the two products overlap more than the rest of this page suggests, and you should compare them on features rather than on reachability.
01Common ground
What both of them do
This much both products do, so the table below is only about where they differ.
- A hosted control plane in front of Kubernetes you own.
- Your workloads and data stay in your own infrastructure.
- Builds from Git, environments and preview deployments.
- Roles, an audit log and one console over several clusters.

03The decision
Which one to choose
Each list is written to be true. If the first one describes you, the better product is theirs.
Choose Qovery if
- You want somebody else to create and operate the Kubernetes cluster, not just what runs on it.
- Your infrastructure is in AWS, GCP, Azure or Scaleway and you are content to hand over credentials to it.
- You want a longer-established vendor with a larger team behind the product.
Choose Anyport if
- There is no cloud account. The cluster is on hardware you own, and nothing is going to provision it for you.
- You do not want to hand a platform credentials that can create infrastructure and bill you for it.
- The clusters are unreachable from outside, or belong to customers whose networks you do not control.
- You want the control plane to hold no standing access into the cluster.
04In their words
What Qovery is
Taken from their own documentation and pricing.
Qovery's documented starting point is a cloud provider account with credentials. It supports AWS, GCP, Azure and Scaleway, and provisions a managed Kubernetes cluster in roughly thirty minutes.
It also documents a bring-your-own-Kubernetes option for connecting a cluster you manage yourself, including on-premises. We have not verified what that path requires of the cluster's network, so this page does not claim anything about it.
The product is aimed at teams who want an internal developer platform without building one, with environments, preview environments and a service catalogue on top of Kubernetes.
05Questions
Questions people ask
Does Qovery need cloud credentials?
For its main path, yes. Qovery's documented starting point is a cloud provider account it provisions a managed Kubernetes cluster in. It also documents a bring-your-own-Kubernetes option for clusters you manage yourself.
Does Anyport ever create infrastructure?
Not in your account. Anyport never provisions servers, clusters or load balancers there, and holds no cloud credentials. Installing k3s on a machine you point it at happens on that machine and creates nothing. The separate case is Anyport Cloud, where Anyport runs a cluster for you on its own hardware and bills what it uses.
What does Anyport require of a cluster?
A Kubernetes cluster you can run one command against, or a bare Linux machine where Anyport installs k3s first. No inbound port, no public IP, no load balancer that can obtain one, and no kubeconfig handed to us. The agent opens a connection outward and holds it open. With no cluster at all, Anyport Cloud runs one for you on Pro, billed for what your apps use.
What does Anyport cost?
Three clusters are free with every feature and unlimited members, apps and projects. Pro is $5 a month with $5 of credit back each month; clusters past the free three are $2 a month each, and clusters on Anyport Cloud $5, billed by the hour. Compute on your own clusters is never metered because it is not ours, and the one counted resource there is traffic our gateway carries for clusters with no public address of their own: 10 GB a month free, 100 GB on Pro, then $0.02 per GB. A cluster on Anyport Cloud runs on our hardware instead and is billed for what your apps use, at $12 per vCPU and $6 per GiB of memory a month, from credit.
Is Anyport audited or certified?
Not yet. In place of a report, the security page documents what the agent runs with inside your cluster, what crosses the boundary and how secrets are stored, so a reviewer can evaluate the controls directly. Two of them hold regardless of certification: we never receive credentials for your Kubernetes API, and your workloads keep serving whether or not our control plane is reachable.
Start with three free.
Connecting a cluster is one command and takes a few minutes. Three clusters are free with every feature, and the pricing page works out what yours would cost.
