    CloudPloy

    freemium • Free forever tier
    Updated Sep 2026

    CloudPloy lets you deploy from inside an AI coding client — add an API key in Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client and trigger deployments without leaving the editor. The distinguishing choice is infrastructure flexibility: you can bring your own Ubuntu or AWS box, or have CloudPloy provision on Hetzner, DigitalOcean or AWS at provider cost, paying for the control plane rather than a marked-up compute bill. For solo developers and small teams who have outgrown click-through hosting but do not want to hand-roll CI, that pricing shape is the appeal — the hosting stays cheap and portable while the orchestration is handled. The MCP integration also closes a genuinely annoying gap, since agent-written code still usually has to be shipped through a separate manual step. Things to check before committing: deploying via an agent means an automated actor holds deploy rights, so credential scoping and review gates matter; bring-your-own-server setups leave OS patching and hardening with you; and the free tier covers one small server and one app, so any real multi-service setup lands on a paid control-plane plan. Free forever tier available, with Starter, Pro and Scale plans above it.

    Pros

    • Deploy directly from Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client
    • Bring your own server or provision Hetzner, DigitalOcean or AWS at provider cost
    • Control-plane pricing avoids marked-up compute
    • Free tier genuinely covers one small app
    • Closes the gap between agent-written code and shipping it

    Cons

    • Agent-triggered deploys need careful credential scoping and review gates
    • Bring-your-own-server means you still patch and harden the OS
    • Multi-service setups quickly need a paid plan
