On free tier, Netlify is $0 forever and Fly.io is No free plan: First 10GB free each month of egress. On cheapest paid plan, Netlify is $9 /month (Personal) and Fly.io does not publish it. On rate above what's included, Netlify is $5 / 500 additional credits on Personal, $10 / 1,500 on Pro and Fly.io is $0.15/GB per month for volumes, $0.08/GB per month egress. StackTab sells neither of these and takes no referral fee on either: it scores them. Every figure was read off the named company's own page on or since 2026-09-28; the URLs and the dates are at the foot of this page, and a job re-fetches each one on a schedule and fails when a figure is no longer on the page it came from.

“Not published” means that company does not state the figure on the page cited at the foot of this page. It is not a claim that no such figure exists. A company that publishes no limit most likely has none, but “most likely” is not a fact, and this table prints what was read rather than what was inferred.

Fly.io: $0.15/GB per month for volumes, $0.08/GB per month egress. Machines are billed while running, so an app that stops between requests costs materially less than the same app on a fixed instance. Read from netlify.com and fly.io on 2026-09-28.

Netlify: The team is larger than the site. Netlify's Pro plan is $20 /month for unlimited members where per-seat platforms bill each one, so a marketing site maintained by eight people costs a fraction of what the same site costs elsewhere. Fly.io: You need the app running in several regions and close to the user, and you are willing to think about machines rather than a platform. Fly.io has no plan fee at all, so a small multi-region deployment costs what its machines cost, and nothing else in this table prices region-by-region placement as an ordinary thing to do.
StackTab does not sell any of these and has nothing to gain from which one you choose: it scores them. Each case below is the one that option genuinely wins.

Prices and limits move, and a page quoting a stale one is worth less than a page quoting none. Every source is printed here so a reader can check it against the day they are reading this, and a job re-fetches each of these URLs on a schedule and fails when a figure above no longer appears on the page it came from.
