Coolify vs Dokploy: which self-hosted PaaS is better?
To choose between Coolify and Dokploy, deploy the same sample application and test updates, backups, rollback and access controls. Check current official documentation for the exact features you need. Include the server and operator time in your budget; self-hosting a control plane makes you responsible for maintaining it.
Before you choose
- Budget the platform fee and Hetzner server separately.
- Test deploy, backup restore and rollback on a sample app.
- Verify actual data regions, subprocessors and support terms.
