Render Alternative — Switch to Deplexo

Render is a solid platform, but its free tier sleeps after 15 minutes of inactivity. Deplexo's free tier stays running.

Why switch from Render

Render's free tier spins down after 15 minutes of inactivity. When a request comes in, cold start takes 30-60 seconds. For Discord bots, APIs that need instant response, or any always-on workload, this is a dealbreaker.

What Deplexo offers

Always-on free tier

No sleep timer. Your app runs 24/7 within resource limits.

No cold starts

Container stays warm. First request is as fast as the thousandth.

Secure by default

Read-only root, dropped capabilities. Not available on Render's free tier.

Multiple git providers

GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Codeberg. Render supports GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket.

How to migrate

  1. Connect your GitHub repo to Deplexo.
  2. Copy environment variables from Render's dashboard.
  3. Deploy — Deplexo auto-detects your framework.
  4. Transfer custom domains at your registrar.

FAQ

Does Deplexo have managed databases like Render?

No. Use an external provider and connect via environment variables.

Can I deploy multiple services?

Each service is a separate Deplexo app. Connect multiple repos or use one repo per service.

Is Deplexo's free tier really always-on?

Yes. Your container runs continuously within its resource limits (128 MB RAM, 1 shared CPU). No sleep, no spin-down.
