Managed platforms like Railway, Render, and Vercel host your apps on their infrastructure. Every App runs in your own Cloudflare account: the Workers, databases, and data stay under your account and your billing. A managed platform charges per project, per team, or per usage tier on top of what you pay for compute. Every App's only infrastructure cost is Cloudflare's Workers Paid plan at $5 a month.
Managed platforms are production-grade, with enterprise support, uptime SLAs, and broad framework compatibility. Every App is in alpha, runs only on Cloudflare's building blocks (Workers, D1, R2, KV), and has no enterprise support. If your team needs stability or portability across cloud providers, a managed platform is the better fit.
Every App ships OpenSEO, OpenCRM, OpenAnalytics, and OpenMail as open source alternatives to paid SaaS tools in their categories. Running them through Every App means all four share one Cloudflare Access sign-in, one API key vault at the Gateway, and one MCP endpoint for AI agents.
The apps are early-stage. A paid SaaS product in any of these categories will have more integrations, deeper features, dedicated support, and proven uptime. Every App is the better choice when you want to cut recurring SaaS costs, keep data in infrastructure you own, and give AI agents a clean single interface to your tools.
