Pricing features

The headline number is the least of it: what separates two hosts at the same monthly price is the shape of the arrangement. Paid upfront means the plan is bought before it is used, so the bill cannot exceed the price, while paid in arrears means the meter runs first and the invoice follows — which is how a mistake at three in the morning becomes a number nobody budgeted for. Metered usage sharpens that further, with no plan at all and only consumption, and prepaid credit sits between them, since the ceiling is whatever was deposited. No minimum term means leaving costs nothing but the decision, and how long the money keeps going out after it is its own field, exit. A free tier or free trial is recorded and not rewarded: it says nothing about what the paid plans cost or how the platform behaves under load, and it settles only the one question no comparison table can, which is whether the application actually runs.
