Frappe Cloud can suspend your site — even when you're paying

DeployFrappe vs
Frappe Cloud

Frappe Cloud charges by CPU hours per day and throttles or stops your site when the quota is exceeded — even on paid plans. DeployFrappe charges a flat monthly rate per site. Your site never slows down or stops because of a usage meter.

FC
Frappe CloudCPU-hours metered
  • Charges based on CPU seconds consumed per day — bills fluctuate every month
  • If your site hits the daily CPU quota, it is throttled or suspended — your users see errors
  • This can happen even when you're on a paid plan and have paid your invoice
  • Shared infrastructure — noisy-neighbour effects can slow your site
  • Custom apps require expensive private bench (~$25+/mo minimum)
DF
DeployFrappeFlat rate per site
  • One flat monthly price per site — you always know your bill
  • Your site never gets throttled or stopped — no CPU quota to hit
  • Dedicated resources — no noisy neighbours sharing your CPU
  • Custom apps from GitHub on every plan — no upcharge
  • Starts at $29/mo — fully managed, dedicated infrastructure
