Sealos review
An all-in-one Kubernetes workspace spanning development, deployment, data services, and infrastructure.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Sealos is a Kubernetes-based cloud platform for developing, deploying, and managing applications across their lifecycle. It brings cloud development environments, application deployment, managed databases, object storage, Kubernetes orchestration, and infrastructure controls into one workspace. Teams can deploy from GitHub repositories, templates, container images, or prompts, connect IDEs, and access raw Kubernetes. Its fit is strongest for teams that want one environment for application delivery and Kubernetes operations rather than separate tools for each layer.
The published monthly plans begin with Starter at $34, including 2 vCPU, 2Gi RAM, 10Gi Disk, 10GB Traffic, 4 NodePorts, and 100 AI Credits. Hobby costs $70 and increases capacity to 4 vCPU, 4Gi RAM, 20Gi Disk, 50GB Traffic, 8 NodePorts, and 300 AI Credits. Standard is $128 with 8 vCPU, 16Gi RAM, 50Gi Disk, 300GB Traffic, 16 NodePorts, and 800 AI Credits. Pro costs $512, Team $2,030, and Enterprise $12,451 per month, with progressively larger resource packages. Custom provides a custom resource package and custom support plan. A seven-day trial is available, and there is no free plan.
Sealos has a broad platform scope: managed PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and Redis; S3-compatible object storage; self-hosted Kubernetes cluster deployment; workspace isolation; role-based permissions; resource quotas; and AI-assisted deployment and terminal automation. Its ecosystem includes VS Code, JetBrains, Cursor, GitHub, Kubernetes, and OpenAI-compatible APIs, with web, API, and self-hosted access. Choose Sealos if a unified Kubernetes workspace and hybrid deployment model matter more than adopting narrowly focused tools. Teams seeking a more extensively specified governance platform may prefer an alternative.
