RenderComparison based on publicly available information as of 10/20/2026.
Why teams pick Synteq
More app for the money
Every Synteq plan is a flat monthly price per instance, with more memory per dollar than comparable instances on most platforms. The table below shows the plan-for-plan numbers.
Bandwidth that's actually included
Every paid plan includes 250GB of outbound transfer, so a busy month doesn't turn into a per-gigabyte bill.
A microVM, not a shared kernel
Each instance boots its own kernel in a Firecracker microVM, on servers and network we own and operate ourselves.

Plan-for-plan pricing
RenderMonthly price for one always-on instance. Render's autoscaling, full-stack previews, and larger bandwidth allowance need a Pro workspace, which adds $25/mo on top of compute.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, if you run always-on web services and APIs and want a flat monthly price with bandwidth included. Synteq Apps builds from your repo or Dockerfile and runs each instance in its own microVM on hardware we own. If you need a managed database on the same platform or regions outside the US, Render may suit you better today.
Synteq plans give you more CPU and memory per dollar than most platforms at the same size. See the plan-for-plan table above for current numbers.
Connect the same GitHub repository and branch. If the repo has a Dockerfile, Synteq builds it as written. If it doesn't, Synteq detects your stack and generates the build and start commands. Copy your environment variables across, then point your domain at the new app.
Usually not. Your app needs to listen on the `PORT` environment variable and keep any state that must survive a restart in a database or object store, which is how it already runs on most platforms.
Apps are for stateless services. Run your database on a VPS with block storage and connect to it from your app.
Use Synteq Functions for scheduled jobs and webhook handlers. They scale to zero and you pay per invocation.
Yes. The Free plan runs a small app at no cost, and you can attach your own domain.
Yes, on every plan, including Free. Point your domain at your app and Synteq issues and renews the certificate for you.
