Less than half the price. Every size.
Same class of hardware — ECC RAM, mirrored enterprise NVMe, real 1:1 resources — for up to 69% less. Custom-sized, billed by the minute. Every GB of RAM and disk is sold 1:1 with the host: no overselling, ever.

All prices in USD per month, running 24/7 at competitors' current published list prices. Krova caps disk at 100 GB — competitors include 160–640 GB on larger plans, but most workloads use under 50 GB. Every competitor assigns each instance a public IPv4; a Cube has none.
Skip AWS complexity
No VPCs, no security groups, no IAM policies. Create a Cube, get an SSH connection, and you're done.
Pay by the minute
Hourly rates, billed by the minute. Run a Cube for 5 minutes and you pay for 5 minutes — never rounded up to the hour. Sleep it and only disk keeps billing.
Built for real workloads
Node.js APIs, AI agents, automation, side projects — sustained workloads, not just bursty serverless.
Plans
Start free. Subscribe to a plan for monthly credit and higher limits. Pay only while your Cubes are running — billed by the minute.
Per-hour usage rates
Whichever plan you're on, this is how each running Cube consumes credit.

Per-month estimate = hourly rate × 730 hours, running 24/7. Sleep a Cube and disk continues at the same per-GB rate while vCPU + RAM stop billing entirely. 2 OS images available.
No overselling. Ever.
Most cheap VPS providers oversell — they sell more RAM and disk than the host actually has, betting customers won't use all of it. When workloads spike, you pay the price: thrashed RAM, evicted pages, throttled I/O, and your app slows to a crawl right when you need it most.
Krova is different. Every GB of RAM and every GB of disk you provision is reserved 1:1 on the bare-metal host. Your 4 GB Cube has 4 GB of physical ECC RAM dedicated to it. Your 40 GB disk allocation occupies 40 GB of real enterprise-grade NVMe — no thin provisioning, no surprise out-of-disk errors.
RAM
Sold 1:1 with host ECC RAM. Dedicated to your Cube. Never oversold.
Disk
Sold 1:1 with host NVMe. Real bytes on real disk. Never oversold.
