The short answer
Render's free web services spin down after 15 minutes without traffic and take about a minute to wake, so the next visitor waits. Cloudzyro's sites never sleep, on the free plan too.
Pricing, side by side
Render Pro is $25 a month flat for the workspace, plus the compute each service uses. Cloudzyro Boost is $20 a month per site, and that includes the site's compute: 2 CPUs and 2 GB of memory.
What happens when your site gets busy
Render charges $0.15 for each GB beyond what your plan includes.
On Cloudzyro, Launch includes 100 GB of traffic a month and Boost 1 TB per site. A site that goes over is slowed down for the rest of the month, never taken offline and never charged for it. Boost sites can add 500 GB for $12 or 1 TB for $20 if they need more, and traffic Cloudflare blocks as an attack never counts.
Deploying from your AI tool
Cloudzyro connects to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and Codex. Connect once, then ask your AI tool to put your site online: it creates the site, sends the files, follows the build and fixes what goes wrong. It can never see your secrets, delete a site or change your plan.
Who should choose Render
Render is a good fit if you need more than websites and web apps in one place, such as background workers, scheduled jobs or databases it runs for you.
Who should choose Cloudzyro
Cloudzyro suits websites and web apps that need to answer instantly, on a predictable bill per site. Your site runs on our servers in London, behind Cloudflare, which serves your static files from close to your visitors. Sites have no permanent disk, so data belongs in a database such as Supabase or Neon, which you can connect in a click.
