koigrid vs Railway
App + database hosting with bandwidth included — the alternative to Railway.
Railway bills by usage (CPU, RAM, egress), so the bill moves with your traffic. koigrid charges a fixed price for what you reserve, billed by the hour, with bandwidth included — apps AND managed Postgres HA, fully agent-native.
Same setup — what you actually pay
You save ~$31/mo (67%)
For a small production app + an HA Postgres database. Estimate from public pricing; koigrid bills reserved resources by the hour, with egress included. (prices reviewed 2026-07-04)
| Feature | koigrid | Railway |
|---|---|---|
| Price per GB of RAM / month | $5, shared vCPU included (billed by the hour) | $10 + $20/vCPU on top, metered |
| Egress (data out) | $0 — included | ~$0.05/GB |
| Same workload: 3×2 GB + 4 TB/month | $30 (3 × 2 GB, shared vCPU), egress included | ~$60 compute + ~$200 egress |
| Predictable bill | Yes — fixed per reserved resource, plus your spend cap | No — metered per minute |

What koigrid improves
Predictable, bandwidth included
No traffic meter — you pay for what you reserve, so egress never grows the bill.
HA Postgres built in
Auto-failover + pooling + PITR, not an add-on (each copy is billed).
Agent-native
Everything by API for your AI agent.
Frequently asked questions
Is koigrid cheaper than Railway?
It depends on the workload. koigrid charges for the RAM and disk you reserve, by the hour, shared vCPU included, from a public price list — with bandwidth included and no per-request fees. Egress-heavy setups usually come out well ahead; see the estimate above.
Can I migrate from Railway without lock-in?
Yes. koigrid runs on portable primitives — standard PostgreSQL, S3-compatible storage and containers — so you can move in (or out) whenever you want.
Where is my data hosted?
In data centers in the EU, on servers we run ourselves. The privacy policy says exactly where.
Can I run everything from an API or an AI agent?
Yes — koigrid is API-first and agent-native: every action has an API and a scoped token, with llms.txt and OpenAPI so an LLM can operate it end to end.
