Top match App platform Over your budget

DigitalOcean App Platform

≈$5/mo 1 shared vCPU / 512 MiB

Includes 50 GiB of outbound transfer; billed per second.

Why it fits: Apps that want git-push deploys inside a provider they can grow with.
How deploys work: Connect the Git repo or a container image; App Platform builds, deploys, and scales it.
The tradeoff: Weaker compute per dollar than a Droplet — the convenience premium is real.

Option 2 App platform Over your budget

Render

≈$7/mo Starter

One Starter web service (0.5 CPU, 512 MB) on the free Hobby workspace.

Why it fits: Apps and APIs that want git-push deploys with a fixed, understandable instance price.
How deploys work: Connect the Git repo; Render builds and deploys on push, with Docker support and instant rollbacks.
The tradeoff: The workspace-plus-services model means several line items, and bandwidth overage is pricey.

Ranked by ease of deploy for your stack, then by monthly cost — never by commissions. Estimates come from hand-checked public prices; the linked provider pages show every number and its caveats.
