Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 74 of the 122 other web hosts we grade
Zeabur is a deployment platform that runs services from code and manages them from one dashboard. Its pricing page sells monthly plans (Free, Dev, Pro and Team) that set dashboard features, log retention, build machine size and support, and it can also manage servers you own elsewhere.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Zeabur, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Deploying services means choosing servers and setup, and the listing shows a learning curve with no store rating.
- 1
Best for deploying apps with an AI build planner
The plan price covers the dashboard only, so the cost of running your services comes on top.
- 2
Paid plans start at $5 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $5 per month (Dev plan, after a 14-day free trial).
- 3
There is a free plan
Dashboard basics, community support, 1 manageable own server, a 2C4G build machine and 48 hours of log retention.
- 4

- 5
Dashboard for services and servers
Manage services, plus servers you bought and own elsewhere, from the Zeabur dashboard.
- 6
AI build planner and agent
zbplan reads your code to generate a build, and the Zeabur Agent has a monthly quota of advanced-model messages: 30 on Dev, 200 on Pro, 600 on Team.
- 7
Monitoring, backups and logs
Dev and above add monitoring and backups; log retention runs from 48 hours on Free to 90 days on Team.
- 8
A 2.2 GPA, above 74 of 122
That is against the other web hosts we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.

Nothing Zeabur does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 4 things listed below take a company.

The report card
Best for deploying apps with an AI build planner
Zeabur is a dashboard for deploying services and servers, with plans from a free tier to $79 a month for teams. The plan price covers the dashboard only, so the cost of running your services comes on top.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Dev is $5 a month after a 14-day trial, inside the cheaper quarter of web hosting. The price is for the dashboard, and server costs are separate. |
| Free plan and trial | C | Free plan has dashboard basics, community support and 48 hours of logs. The 14-day trial on Dev and Pro is the way to try more. |
| Features | C | Services and servers, monitoring, backups, logs, email and team roles. Advanced-model Agent messages are not on Free, and running costs sit outside the plan. |
| Ease of use | C | Deploying services means choosing servers and setup, and the listing shows a learning curve with no store rating. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web dashboard only, with a single integration on the listing. |
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 Zeabur is for
- Fits if you want one dashboard over several servers you own
- Works for small teams on the $79 plan with 3 seats
Who it is not for
- Watch out: the plan price covers the dashboard, so servers and running costs are extra
- Tight if you stay free, with 1 manageable server and no advanced Agent messages
- Too light for a fast-answer support need: standard tickets target a first reply within 4 working days
- Pricey if you grow a team, as extra seats are $24 a month each past 3
Good to know
Good for
- Solo developers who want a hosted dashboard over their own servers
- Small teams that want deploy, logs and email under one login
- People trying a platform on the free plan before paying
Worth knowing
- The plan price covers dashboard features; the pricing page has a server and cluster selector, so the cost of running services is separate.
- Advanced-model Agent messages are not included on the Free plan (0 a month).
- Standard support tickets target a first response within 4 working days; faster replies use limited express passes.
- Extra Team seats cost $24 per seat per month beyond the 3 included.

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.
Keep it
Nothing Zeabur does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 4 things listed below take a company.
It costs $60 a year.
What you could not
- Databases with views, filters and links between them.
- It plugs into other products, Wonder Mesh among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
What this rests on. Zeabur’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.
