The report card
Best for managed Kubernetes hosting for Drupal teams
amazee.io runs managed open-source Kubernetes hosting for Drupal and other apps, with plans from $199 a month sold through sales. Included traffic is 300,000 hits a month, a Drupal page view can use about 10 of them, and nothing can be bought online.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D | Cloud Basic is $199 a month and up, many times the $10.99 middle for web hosting, with $30 for each extra project. Dedicated Cloud pricing isn't published. |
| Free plan and trial | F | Nothing is free: no free plan and no trial are listed. |
| Features | C | Push-to-deploy environments, an open-source platform, your own cloud or theirs, a CDN and WAF option and 24/7 chat on success plans. Traffic is metered in hits and support is limited on lower plans. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. It is built for teams with development workflows. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with a short list: Drupal, AWS Marketplace and Lagoon. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Amazee.io is for
- Fits if your team ships Drupal sites and wants Kubernetes run for you
- Makes sense if you need hosting in your own AWS or Google Cloud account
Who it is not for
- Pricey if you run one site, at $199 a month and up with sales involved
- Skip it if you want to buy online, because every plan goes through Contact Sales
- Tight if traffic is high, as 300,000 hits is about 30,000 Drupal page views
- Watch out: Standard Success Plan support covers the first 2 projects only
Good to know
Good for
- Agencies and organizations hosting Drupal sites at scale
- Teams that want Kubernetes hosting without running it
- Buyers who need data kept in a chosen region or cloud
Worth knowing
- No plan can be bought online; the pricing page directs every plan to Contact Sales.
- Included traffic is 300,000 hits a month on Cloud plans, and a Drupal page view typically generates about 10 hits.
- Standard Success Plan support is included for the first 2 projects only; higher tiers are priced through sales.
- Dedicated Cloud pricing depends on cluster size and is not published.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
You could make this
What Amazee.io does at its core is plain work, and that is the kind of thing an AI app builder makes well.
Nothing on its listing is beyond a weekend of building. It costs $2,388 a year. An AI app builder starts at about $20 a month on our listings, and you only need it while you build. Amazee.io is open source, so there is a third way: take its code and run it yourself.
What you could make
- It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
What this rests on. Amazee.io’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
