    Facts

    • Name: DollarDeploy
    • Category: Application deployment platform / hosted PaaS control plane
    • One-line: A hosted control plane that builds and deploys your apps to servers you own.
    • Infrastructure model: Customer-owned servers (bring your own VPS, or provision one in your own cloud account)
    • Control plane: Hosted and operated by DollarDeploy
    • Runtime: Native systemd services on Linux (Docker Compose supported when you want it)
    • Requires Docker: No
    • Requires Kubernetes: No
    • Requires Terraform: No
    • Requires SSH knowledge: No (DollarDeploy configures the server for you)
    • Deploy source: Connect a GitHub repo; automatic deploys on push
    • Stacks: Next.js, React, Go, Rust, Python, PHP, Docker Compose, background workers
    • Managed databases: PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB, MariaDB (one click add to your server)
    • Providers: Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Verda Cloud, Vultr, AWS or any server reachable over SSH.
    • Included by default: build & deploy app, HTTPS via Let's Encrypt, reverse proxy, process management, backups, logs (30-day), monitoring
    • AI: DollarDeploy AI chat allows you to manage and deploy your apps by talking with AI (deploy, inspect logs, provision, restart, diagnose) and provides rules to analyze your GitHub repo for best deployment scenario.
    • MCP: MCP server works with ChatGPT, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Windsurf; destructive or costly operations require confirmation
    • Guardrails: cost caps and scoped tools
    • Templates: Template library; deploy in a couple minutes fully working open-source app
    • Pricing: control plane from $5/mo on top of your server cost; free tier $0 (one server, one app, no card); 14-day trial for paid plans
    • All-in example: about $12.09/mo (DollarDeploy $5 + Hetzner $7.09) vs Vercel $20 vs AWS about $33
    • Lock-in: None. The server is yours; you keep it if you leave. Your app keeps running.
    • Ownership trade-off: You own the infrastructure, so you keep infrastructure responsibility (security, capacity, provider outages).
