Diploi vs WP Engine

Diploi uses a prepaid, usage-based pricing model. You top up a balance, and that balance pays for everything: the hours your deployments are running, the storage they use, and your AI usage. This applies to development, testing, and production environments alike. There is no bill at the end of the month, you only ever spend the balance you have topped up.

You can top up your balance manually at any time, or enable auto top-up so your balance is refilled automatically when it runs low. The Pro and Ultra plans additionally add a fixed amount to your balance every month, and come with increased limits and extra features.

All plans use the same balance and the same usage-based rates. Pay as you go has no monthly charge, you top up whenever you like. Pro and Ultra automatically credit their full monthly price to your balance.

AI usage is metered and drawn from the same balance as your deployments, there is no separate AI subscription. This covers all the ways you can use AI on Diploi: the Prompt view, the preinstalled Opencode CLI, and the custom AI model endpoint for your own tools.

Yes, you can use Diploi free for 14 days when you register for the first time, with 50 € of free credits and no credit card required.

Diploi is a platform that combines cloud development environments and app hosting in a single place, and is meant to be an all-in-one solution where developers can scaffold applications from zero, start developing applications without a local setup using cloud development environments, which do not require any configuration work, and deploy staging and production environments instantly. All applications launched and hosted on Diploi come with a CI/CD pipeline setup by default, automatic SSL cert

Your code lives in your own GitHub repository. Diploi configures a GitHub Action that triggers a CI/CD workflow that updates your staging and production environments, and is triggered when new updates are pushed to the repository linked to a project hosted in Diploi.

There is no limit, so you can have all supported frameworks and databases supported by Diploi, the only limitation is the computing power required by a deployment to handle a large stack of components and add-ons.

No, Diploi is a fully managed development and deployment platform. You cannot choose the OS where your application is deployed, and you do not have configuration access to the server's settings.

Yes, Diploi uses Kubernetes to host your application's cloud development environment, components, and add-ons as individual pods, which you can access via SSH.

Yes, each environment has a unique URL you can share, so others can access and test your app instantly.

Diploi provides real-time logging for each component and add-on that is part of your application. Additionally, from the deployment's dashboard, you have access to graphs showing the resource usage of your app's cluster and its current health status. Additionally, all development deployments on Diploi come with a Diploi CLI, which gives you access to logs in real-time and can be used for programmatic log data tracking.

You can move your project out of Diploi at any point. All Diploi projects can be run on any VPS or managed hosting service, either by running each component and add-on as you usually would do via terminal commands (eg. npm run start), or by using the Dockerfiles that Diploi generates for your app's components.
