Lizard, compared
Head-to-head comparisons against the 9 platforms people actually weigh us against. Every figure comes from the other platform’s own published pricing, every page says where they win, and every page is dated. Last verified: 27 August 2026.
Vercel alternative
Vercel runs containers but not processes. Lizard vs Vercel on limits, first-party Postgres and Redis, and $0.0278 against $0.128 per vCPU-hour.

Netlify alternative
Netlify bills in credits and runs no long-lived processes. Lizard vs Netlify on backends, databases and cost.

DigitalOcean alternative
DigitalOcean makes you size the droplet or write the app spec. Lizard takes one command, sizes nothing, and bills per second.
Read the comparison
Firebase alternative
Firestore bills per read and Firebase never gives you a server process. Lizard vs Firebase: Postgres, Redis, S3-compatible storage, one command.

Supabase alternative
Supabase hosts the database; your app lives elsewhere. Lizard runs both in one project, with PostgreSQL 18 in one command and no compute add-on.

AWS alternative
A container on AWS needs ECS, a VPC, an ALB, IAM and a registry. Lizard takes one command, with egress at $0.05 against $0.09.
Read the comparison
AWS Lambda alternative
Lambda caps at 15 minutes and a cold start, and bills per request. Lizard vs AWS Lambda on long-running work and what an always-warm function costs.

Cloudflare Workers alternative
Workers run V8 isolates, not Node — no native modules, no long-lived processes. Lizard vs Cloudflare Workers on runtime, CPU-time billing and egress.

Coolify vs Dokploy
Coolify and Dokploy give you a Heroku on your own VPS for the price of the server. What each one is, and the point where a managed platform costs less.
