The managed Coolify alternative for teams that value time.
Stop debugging your management layer. Ship is the PaaS experience you love, hosted on private German infrastructure, with zero server maintenance for your team.
You wanted a PaaS. You got a second job.
Coolify is a brilliant piece of software. It promises the freedom of Heroku with the price of a VPS. But for many founders and small ops teams, the reality of self-hosting a PaaS is different than the dream.
Every week, there is something to do. A kernel update that needs a reboot. A security patch for the management dashboard. A database backup that failed because the disk filled up. You chose a coolify alternative search because you realize your time is worth more than the $15/month you save on hosting.
The hidden cost of 'Free'
When you self-host, you are the SysAdmin. If the server goes down at 3 AM on a Sunday, it is your problem. If the management layer has a bug that prevents deployments, your developers are stuck. Ship was built to solve this. We provide the same persistent container architecture and Git-push workflow, but we own the infrastructure headaches.
You get the control. We get the pagers. That is a fair trade.
Trusted by fast-moving teams
Why teams choose Ship as their Coolify alternative
Get the developer experience of a premium PaaS without the operational burden of managing the underlying server.
Zero Server Maintenance
We handle the OS updates, security patches, and hardware health. You never have to SSH into a box just to keep your dashboard alive. We maintain the management layer so your team can focus on shipping features, not debugging Docker sockets.
Predictable Resource Model
Unlike large SaaS providers that charge per-seat or per-bandwidth, Ship uses a flat-resource model. You pay for the server capacity, not the number of users. It is the same cost-efficiency as Coolify but with professional management included.
Lightning Fast Deploys
Our infrastructure is optimized for container builds. Connect your Git repo and watch your code go live in under 30 seconds. No more waiting for slow build runners or managing your own CI/CD infrastructure just to get a preview link.

We were paying per user on everything and it added up fast. Now we run five apps for less than one of those old plans. My finance team finally stopped asking questions.

Wanted to use n8n for ages but the self-host part always stopped me. Opsily just handled it. Got the power without becoming an IT person overnight.
