What it is, and why we rate it

One line each. Open a row for detail.

What it really isCleavr — server provisioning and zero-downtime deployment platform for PHP and Node.js apps.
Our takeCleavr automates the full DevOps loop: spin up servers on DigitalOcean, Hetzner, AWS, or any VPS, wire up git repositories, and push zero-downtime deploys in minutes.
There is no permanent free tier; it is a paid product with a 5-day free Pro trial. The entry price is $5.50/mo (Lite).
Why we rate itCleavr punches above its weight: Pro at $15/mo covers unlimited servers and automated backups — functionality that costs $29–$49/mo on competing panels.
The no-credit-card 5-day Pro trial is a genuine risk-free test drive.
The catchLimited to PHP and Node.js stacks; Python, Ruby, or Go shops won't benefit.
The Lite tier's one-server cap means growing teams hit a plan wall quickly.

Best / not good for

Best for
  • Laravel and Adonis.js developers wanting automated zero-downtime deploys
  • Freelancers managing multiple client servers on a budget
  • Teams migrating off shared hosting to self-managed VPS without deep sysadmin skills
Not good for
  • Python, Ruby, or Go application stacks
  • Enterprises needing SOC 2 compliance or on-prem deployment tooling
  • Projects requiring built-in CI pipelines beyond simple git-push deploys
Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Fast: a server can be provisioned and a first app deployed within 10–15 minutes of signup.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    Team features (roles, resource management) are locked to the $30/mo Business tier; cost scales by plan rather than seat count.
  3. Walled garden
    Low: apps run on your own VPS; SSH access is always available and Cleavr never locks data behind its UI.
Still a fit?
If none of these block you, try it on the official site.
