Vercel Alternative
Host open-source apps and backend services — not just frontends
Vercel excels at frontend deployment but falls short for backend services, databases, and self-hosted tools. TinyPod deploys full-stack open-source apps with persistent storage, databases, and background workers.
Why switch from Vercel to TinyPod
Full-stack support
Unlike Vercel's serverless model, TinyPod runs persistent containers — databases, background workers, cron jobs, and stateful apps all work.
No function limits
No 10-second function timeouts, no serverless cold starts. Your apps run on dedicated servers with real compute.
200+ open-source apps
Deploy WordPress, Nextcloud, Immich, Vaultwarden, and more. Vercel can't run these.
Flat pricing
$5/server/mo for dedicated resources. No per-request billing, no bandwidth charges, no function invocation costs.
Docker Compose support
Deploy any Docker Compose stack. Multi-container apps with databases, caches, and workers — all in one deployment.
Pricing comparison
| Platform | Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| TinyPod | $5/server/mo | 4 cores, 8GB RAM, 75GB NVMe, unlimited apps |
| Vercel | $20+/mo Pro | Serverless functions, bandwidth limits, no persistent containers |
