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. - **Value for money: B.** A $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. - **Free plan and trial: B.** Static 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. - **Features: C.** Apps, databases, object storage and static sites in 25 locations. The $5 Hobby pod has no custom domains, which is a gap. - **Ease of use: C.** You size pods, wire databases and pick locations, so there is setup, and the listing shows no store rating. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web dashboard with an MCP server for agents and a few integrations.

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. - You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. - You could not: Databases with views, filters and links between them. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. - You could not: What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: roles and permissions.
