Coolify Cloud from $5/mo · 56k+ stars · Temps adds full observability at ~$6/mo
Coolify has 56,000+ GitHub stars (one of the most-starred self-hosted PaaS projects), 280+ one-click templates, and Cloud plans starting at $5/month. Temps Cloud is ~$6/month (Hetzner cost + 30%, no per-seat fees). The real difference: Coolify has no built-in analytics, error tracking, or session replay — those require Sentry ($26+/mo), PostHog/Plausible ($9+/mo), and LogRocket ($69+/mo) on top. Temps ships all three in the same binary as the deployment engine. Three technical differences: (1) Temps routes via a built-in Pingora proxy — the reverse proxy Cloudflare built and open-sourced after using it to serve over a trillion requests per day. (2) Temps groups similar errors using hash-based token ID vectors in pgvector on your own PostgreSQL — each word is hashed to a bucket index, producing a vector stored locally; no error data leaves your server. (3) Temps builds WireGuard meshes using defguard_wireguard_rs and boringtun — no external wireguard-tools package needed.

Built-in observability — no Sentry add-on needed
Coolify has no analytics, error tracking, or session replay in 2026 — these require separate tools (Sentry $26+/mo, PostHog $0–50+/mo, LogRocket $69+/mo). Temps ships Sentry-compatible error tracking, privacy-first analytics, rrweb session replay, and uptime monitoring in the same binary as the deployment engine. Point your existing Sentry SDK at a Temps DSN and it works immediately.
Both free to self-host — Coolify Cloud $5/mo vs Temps Cloud ~$6/mo
Coolify is Apache 2.0 licensed and free to self-host with no feature gates. Coolify Cloud starts at $5/month. Temps is Apache 2.0 licensed and free to self-host. Temps Cloud is ~$6/month (Hetzner cost + 30%, no per-seat fees, no bandwidth billing). The key difference: a full Coolify production stack with observability costs $51–95+/mo; Temps Cloud is ~$6/mo all-in.
Embedded WireGuard — no external tools needed
Temps builds multi-server WireGuard meshes using an embedded userspace implementation (defguard_wireguard_rs and Cloudflare's boringtun) — no wireguard-tools package required on host servers. Worker nodes join the cluster with a single command. Coolify also supports multi-server but uses a different connectivity model.
Pingora proxy vs Nginx/Caddy
Temps routes traffic via a built-in Pingora-based proxy — the reverse proxy that Cloudflare built, open-sourced, and uses to serve over a trillion requests per day. It handles TLS termination, custom domains, and routing automatically on every deploy. Coolify uses Traefik or Caddy for proxying.

Pricing Comparison
Both are free to self-host. Coolify Cloud starts at $5/mo; Temps Cloud is ~$6/mo. The real difference is observability cost: a full production stack on Coolify (with Sentry at $26/mo and basic analytics at $9+/mo) costs $40–100+/mo. On Temps, the same stack is ~$6/mo because error tracking, analytics, session replay, and uptime monitoring are all included.
| Scenario | Temps | Coolify |
|---|---|---|
| Self-hosted | $0 (Apache 2.0) | $0 (Apache 2.0) |
| Cloud version | ~$6/mo (Hetzner + 30%) | From $5/mo |
| With observability | ~$6/mo (included) | $56–101+/mo (Coolify Cloud + Sentry + analytics) |
