Coolify

Comparisons anchored on Coolify, the Apache-2.0 self-hosted PaaS that deploys apps, databases and previews to servers it manages over SSH, against other self-hosted deployment platforms.

Coolify vs Dokploy

Coolify (Apache-2.0) against open-core Dokploy, whose SSO, SCIM and audit logs are source-available: build packs, databases and backups, multi-server and Docker Swarm clustering, preview deployments, cloud plans and licensing limits on resale.

Coolify vs Dokku

Coolify's web dashboard and multi-server deployments against Dokku's MIT-licensed, git-push single-server PaaS with buildpacks: setup, databases, scaling options, team features and which one suits a solo developer or an internal platform team.

Coolify vs Dokploy vs Dokku

The three self-hosted Heroku and Vercel replacements side by side: license and open-core limits, build methods, database backups, multi-server support, preview deployments, paid cloud options and the operational work each leaves to you.

Coolify Cloud vs self-hosted Coolify

Self-hosting the Coolify dashboard for free against Coolify Cloud's per-server monthly fee, where your apps still run on your own servers: what moves to Coolify's side, availability of the control plane, upgrades and costs as servers grow.
