Switching from Render to Deplexo
Render's 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. That rules it out for Discord bots, APIs that need to respond right away, and other always-on workloads.
What Deplexo offers
Always-on free tier
Your app runs 24/7 within its resource limits, with no sleep timer.
No cold starts
The container stays warm, so the first request is as fast as the thousandth.
Secure by default
Containers run with a read-only root filesystem and restricted privileges. Render's free tier doesn't offer this.
Multiple git providers
Deplexo supports GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Codeberg. Render supports GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket.
