Render
clean paas ergonomics at double the vps leaders' price — with a free tier that's a trap for this exact workload.
a pleasant platform with nothing for this use case — the free tier spins down on idle, which is disqualifying for an agent, and the paid tier costs double what better-suited boxes do.
the trap first, because render's own docs are admirably clear about it: free web services spin down after 15 minutes without inbound traffic and take up to a minute to wake. an agent that must catch a whatsapp message at 4am cannot live there, whatever the tutorials imply.
the paid path is a standard instance at 2 gb — listed at $25/mo everywhere, though render's pricing page renders through javascript our fetcher couldn't read, so confirm the live number at signup rather than trusting this page or any other.
the description above is ours, condensed from the ranking. pricing moves — check it on the vendor's own page before you rely on it.

we researched this category against vendors' own pricing pages and licence files. that is where this line comes from — not from the vendor, and not from anything they paid for.
