Sevalla review (2026): is the free plan enough?
Usage-priced hosting for apps, databases and static sites
Black Friday: is there a Sevalla sale?
Sevalla report card
Good · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 13, 2026
Best for apps, databases and static sites on one bill
Sevalla hosts static sites free and applications from $5 a month per pod. Everything is billed separately, so the monthly total is the sum of pods, databases, storage and bandwidth, and a card is needed up front.
Who Sevalla is for
- Fits if you want static sites free and one place for apps and databases
- Works for small projects that can live on a $5 pod
Who Sevalla is not for
- Watch out: every service is billed on its own, so a stack can add up quickly
- Tight if you want to try it without a card, as one must be on file before anything runs
- Skip it if you need a custom domain on the cheapest pod, as the Hobby pod does not support it
- Pricey if traffic grows, with application bandwidth at $0.10 a GB
Why Sevalla gets a 2.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- BValue for moneyA $5 pod or database sits in the cheaper quarter, and static sites are free. Application bandwidth is $0.10 a GB and builds $0.02 a minute on top.
- BFree plan and trialStatic hosting is free for up to 100 sites, 100 GB of bandwidth and 600 build minutes. Applications and databases are paid, with $20 of credit that expires.
- CFeaturesApps, databases, object storage and static sites in 25 locations. The $5 Hobby pod has no custom domains, which is a gap.
- CEase of useYou size pods, wire databases and pick locations, so there is setup, and the listing shows no store rating.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb dashboard with an MCP server for agents and a few integrations.

Keep Sevalla, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Sevalla you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 114 of the 122 other web hosts we grade. It costs $60 a year.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- Databases with views, filters and links between them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: roles and permissions.
What this rests on. Sevalla’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 Sevalla?
Sevalla is a cloud platform from Kinsta that runs applications, managed databases, object storage and static sites. Code deploys from a Git repository or a Docker image, and there are no plan tiers or per-seat fees: each service is billed by the size of the pod it runs on, metered by the second.
Worth knowing
- Every service is billed on its own: the cost is the sum of pods, databases, storage and bandwidth, so a stack can add up quickly.
- Bandwidth for applications is listed at $0.10 per GB, and build pods cost $0.02 per minute.
- New companies get $20 of credit that expires, and a card must be on file before any resource can be used.
- The smallest Hobby pod does not support custom domains.
Key features
- Application hosting
- Deploy from a public or private Git repository or a Dockerfile or container image, with auto-deploys on git push and vertical and horizontal scaling.

- 25 data center locations
