Fly.io Alternative: Unlimited Apps Without Multi-Region Price Explosion (Miget)
TL;DR: Fly.io is awesome for edge deployments, but becomes brutally expensive when you deploy multiple regions.
Miget gives you unlimited apps inside a guaranteed CPU/RAM plan - and future multi-region without exponential cost curves.
Why Miget Is a Better Fly.io Alternative
Fly's idea is excellent: run apps close to users.
But reality: each extra region becomes another billing multiplier.
Multi-region on Fly = multiple small nodes + multiple small bills + fragmented expensive overhead.
If you want to scale globally - things get out of control.
Miget flips this model completely.
You choose a resource plan (guaranteed CPU/RAM).
Inside that plan you can run unlimited apps - without paying per region in the future launch.
| Feature | Fly.io | Miget |
|---|---|---|
| Multi-region cost | Multiplies per region | Future multi-region with no per-region tax (2026) |
| Apps pricing | Per service unit | Unlimited apps inside plan |
| DB pricing | Expensive Postgres | Postgres fits inside your plan |
| Compute types | Small VM nodes | Hobby (shared) & Pro (dedicated) |
| Team billing | Seat based | First 5 team members free, then $5/user |
The Global Deployment Trap
Fly made developers believe that global = default.
That part is right.
But global shouldn't equal multiplicative billing.
Scaling globally should scale product - not invoice.
On Miget (2026) → Multi region deployments will still follow the same resource model.
No per region tax. No exponential explosion.
This is the edge, without financial punishment.
Postgres should not cost more than your compute
Fly Postgres is expensive.
It becomes a second major pricing dimension.
On Miget - Postgres fits inside your plan.
Same CPU/RAM bundle. Same price. No addon multiplier.
Team Workspaces without billing fear
- First 5 team members free
- Each additional member → flat $5/user/mo
Team scaling ≠ pricing scaling.
Migrating from Fly.io to Miget
Fly.io apps are already containerized, so migration is straightforward.
Why this works:
- Container-native - Fly.io apps run in Docker, Miget runs Docker containers
- No proprietary runtime - Your app doesn't depend on Fly's VM magic
- Same deployment model - Registry push → deploy → done
The migration process:
- Export your Dockerfile - If you don't have one, Fly can generate it
- Push to a registry - Docker Hub, GitHub Container Registry, or private registry
- Create a Miget account - Set up your Team Workspace
- Connect your registry - Link your Docker registry to Miget
- Set environment variables - Copy your Fly secrets to Miget
- Deploy your services - All your apps under one resource plan
- Update DNS - Point your domains to Miget's endpoints
Your apps are live in minutes, and you're already saving money with unlimited services under one plan.
No lock-in. No proprietary VM magic. Just Docker.
Final Thought
Fly changed the conversation about where apps should run.
We respect that vision.
But multi region shouldn't punish you financially.
Miget is the Fly.io alternative built for global indie SaaS:
- Unlimited apps
- Guaranteed resource bundles
- Postgres fits inside your plan
- Future multi-region without price explosion (2026)
