// tools · full_stack_cost
Cloud hosting cost calculator.
A real app is more than a web box. Price the full stack, a web service plus a managed Postgres database plus a cache, and see the monthly cost on Ownkube next to Railway, Render, Heroku, Fly.io, DigitalOcean, and Northflank. The numbers update as you change the inputs. No signup, nothing to install.

Full stack = web app + managed Postgres + Valkey cache. Competitor list prices sourced from official pages, 2026, and mapped to the nearest real plan; figures marked with * are derived from a provider's published per-unit rate, not a named plan. Ownkube and Railway meter CPU per minute (idle apps cost less); Render, Heroku, DigitalOcean, and Northflank bill flat instances. Render is sized to its Standard plan (its $7 Starter is 0.5 CPU / 512 MB). Estimate, not a quote.

How the estimate works
- Full stack, not the web box. The total is a web app plus a managed Postgres database plus an optional cache. Pricing a web box on its own hides the part of the bill that grows.
- Ownkube meters compute per minute, at about $18 per vCPU per month and $4.50 per GiB per month, so an idle app barely registers. Managed Postgres runs on a database box from $4 a month plus $0.15 per GB of storage, and a Valkey cache runs on a box from $2 a month.
- Competitor figures are list prices from each provider's official pricing page in 2026, mapped to the nearest real plan. Numbers derived from a published per-unit rate are marked. Treat them as illustrative estimates, not quotes.
- Honest about the field. DigitalOcean App Platform and Northflank are the closest on this workload. The chart shows Ownkube comes out cheapest of the seven, not a fixed percentage cheaper than any one of them.
