ranx.cloud vs Sliplane
Last checked · Container hosting: one server, as many apps as fit, with one-click presets
Sliplane and ranx.cloud price differently. Sliplane sells a server at a flat price and lets you run as many services on it as its resources allow, with one-click presets for Hermes Agent and n8n, custom domains and a choice of regions; if you run several apps, or want more vCPU for the money, it can work out cheaper. ranx.cloud sells one instance per app, set up for that app: you sign in with your ranx.cloud account instead of an app login, and OpenClaw is available as well. Prices on the two sides are in different currencies, and Sliplane's exclude VAT.

- More vCPU for the price: the Medium server has 3 vCPU and 4 GB.[1]
- Custom domains with automatic HTTPS.[4]
- A choice of server locations in Germany, Finland, the US and Singapore.[3]
- Presets for many more apps, and you can deploy your own container images or code.[2][3]
What ranx.cloud does differently
- Nothing to set up or patch. The app arrives configured for production: health checks, memory sized for it and a hardened container where the app allows. See the apps.
- One login. You sign in to every instance with your ranx.cloud account, Google sign-in included, with no separate app password to keep.
- A key per instance. Per-instance Cloud KMS key. The instance's disk and backups are encrypted with a key of its own, destroyed when you delete the instance. How we protect data.
- Isolated by default. Its own container, Kubernetes namespace and disk. A network policy lets only our gateway reach it, and the pod holds no Kubernetes credentials.
- Flat monthly price per instance. Pro is $29 a month after the free trial, with no limit on workflow executions or agent runs; you pay your LLM provider separately. See pricing.
