What is an alternative seat in Railway?

This question usually comes from Railway team billing. Check Railway’s current documentation for how seats and members are billed. If you are comparing platforms, compare total cost for the same app.

Railway’s billing terms change over time, so we do not describe them here. Read Railway pricing documentation (checked 2026-10-27).

Comparing hosting cost fairly

  1. Pick one real app.
  2. Price the same CPU, memory, storage and bandwidth on each platform.
  3. Add team or seat fees.
  4. Include backups and support.

How CloudHostAI works

CloudHostAI deploys Git repositories to a server in your own Hetzner account. You connect a Hetzner API token. It provisions the server (default location Falkenstein, Germany, which you can change) and runs your app in Docker behind Caddy. Caddy issues a Let’s Encrypt certificate when you point a custom domain at the server. The platform fee is Free, Indie $19, Startup $39 or Team $99 per month. Hetzner bills the server to you separately (current plans, checked 2026-10-27).
