Best for deploying apps to servers in your own cloud account
Cloud 66 deploys and manages apps on servers in your own cloud account, with a free plan for 1 server and 1 static site. Cloud servers are billed separately, and server, site, member and build-minute caps push you up the plans.
Who Cloud 66 is for
- Fits if you deploy a small app or two to your own cloud servers
- Works for teams that want one console across several clouds
Who Cloud 66 is not for
- Tight if you need more than 1 server on the free plan, or 5 deployments a day
- Pricey if you add servers, which cost $12 a month each, or sites at $10 a month
- Watch out: extra team members are $5 a month and extra build minutes $0.03 each
- Watch out: prices shown are annual, and only Team lists a monthly price

Keep Cloud 66, or make your own?
Your call
Cloud 66 sits between: not beyond making, and not a weekend's work either.
What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. It costs $276 a year.
What you could make
- It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
What you could not
- Databases with views, filters and links between them.
- It plugs into other products, AWS, Google Cloud and Azure among them, and has an API.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on and audit logs.
What this rests on. Cloud 66’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.
What is Cloud 66?
Cloud 66 is a deployment and server management platform. You connect a Git repository and a cloud provider (or your own servers), and it builds, deploys and monitors the application, including containerized apps, background jobs, static sites and managed databases. It does not sell servers, so hosting costs are paid to the cloud provider separately.
Worth knowing
- Cloud servers are not included; you pay your cloud provider separately.
- Plans cap servers (1, 2, 4 and 7) and static sites; extra servers cost $12 per month and extra sites $10.
- Extra team members cost $5 per month and extra build minutes $0.03 each beyond the plan's allowance.
- Prices shown are the annual rate, and only Team lists its monthly-billed price on the page.
Key features
- Deploy to any cloud
- Connect a Git repository and a cloud provider such as AWS, Google Cloud or Azure, or deploy to your own servers or a mix of both.
- Native and containerized apps
- Runs apps directly on virtual machines or in containers, with background jobs, scheduled tasks and deployment hooks.
- Zero-downtime deployments
- Health checks and zero-downtime deployments are part of the platform, with failover groups and autoscaling listed on the plan comparison.
- Managed databases and backups
- Managed databases are listed on every plan. Managed backup storage is billed at $0.38 per GB on paid plans.
- Static sites and preview deployments
- Hosts sites built with generators such as Jekyll and Hugo, and the comparison table lists preview deployments from branches, tags or pull requests.
- Team controls and API
- Full API access, audit logs, live logs and cost management alerts are listed, with SAML SSO and user provisioning in the comparison table.
