Our verdict on Convox
Convox is a platform as a service for building, deploying, hosting, scaling, and managing containerized applications. It is designed for teams that want declarative application and infrastructure configuration while retaining a choice between customer cloud infrastructure and local development racks. The platform combines container image builds, a private registry, Kubernetes-based orchestration, managed database resources, private subnet deployment, internal services, and review apps for pull requests. Its web console and self-hosted deployment model also make it relevant to teams with varied infrastructure preferences.
The free plan provides 1 user, 2 workflows, 1 Quick App, 1 deploy key, 1 concurrent job, and 1 rack on annual billing. It includes core hosting capabilities such as declarative infrastructure, image builds, autoscaling, managed databases, private networking, CI/CD, monitoring, logs, and rollbacks. The paid tiers add progressively larger user allowances and operational features: Basic includes 2 users, GitHub and GitLab workflow integrations, a Monitoring Dashboard, and Slack notifications; Pro adds 5 users, Simple RBAC, and Support; Plus provides 10 users with the same listed feature set. Annual pricing is $165 per month for Basic, $415 for Pro, and $832 for Plus, while monthly pricing is $199, $499, and $999 respectively.
Convox fits teams that need container deployments across cloud and local environments, with integrations for GitHub, GitLab, CircleCI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Slack, Datadog, LogDNA, and webhooks. Horizontal and event-driven autoscaling, pull-request review apps, private networking, and managed databases give it a broad platform scope rather than a narrow deployment workflow. Support channels include email, tickets, and documentation, with 24/7 support listed. Choose Convox when infrastructure flexibility and platform breadth matter; smaller teams should weigh the free-plan limits and paid pricing before moving beyond the entry tier.
