Temps vs Dokploy

Self-hosting with everything built in

Choose Temps if you want analytics, error tracking, session replay, and uptime monitoring built in; choose Dokploy if you want first-class Docker Compose/Swarm and a larger community. Both are free and self-hosted — the core difference is that Temps ships the full observability stack as a single binary, while Dokploy delegates it to external tools you set up separately.

Get Started with Temps View All Comparisons

Built-in observability stack

Dokploy delegates analytics, error tracking, and monitoring to external tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Sentry). Temps includes all four built-in.

Single binary, zero dependencies

Temps is one Rust binary. Dokploy is a distributed Node.js application that requires Docker, Traefik, and multiple containers to run.

Sentry-compatible error tracking

Drop-in Sentry replacement included. Use your existing SDK — just change the DSN endpoint. Dokploy has no error aggregation.

Session replay built-in

Watch real user sessions to debug UX issues. Dokploy requires external tools like OpenReplay or FullStory.

Pricing Comparison

Both are free to self-host. Dokploy Cloud is $4.50/server but lacks observability — adding Prometheus, Grafana, Sentry, and Uptime Kuma raises the real cost to $50–100+/mo. Temps includes everything in one binary.

Scenario	Temps	Dokploy
Self-hosted	$0	$0
Cloud version	From $6/mo	From $4.50/mo per server
With full observability	$0 (included)	$50–100+/mo (Prometheus + Grafana + Sentry + Uptime Kuma)
5-person team + SSO	$6/mo (Temps Cloud)	$15/mo + observability costs

Choose Temps if you...

You want error tracking, analytics, and monitoring without extra tools
You prefer a single binary with minimal operational overhead
You need session replay to debug user-facing issues
You want uptime monitoring and status pages included
You need transactional email built into your platform
You want a fully MIT-licensed project with no commercial restrictions

Choose Dokploy if you...

You need first-class Docker Compose orchestration
You want Docker Swarm mode for multi-container microservices
You already have a separate observability stack you prefer
You need SSO/SAML on the Enterprise tier
You prefer Dokploy's larger community (32k+ GitHub stars)

Migration from Dokploy

Both platforms use identical Docker-based deployments. Connect your git repos to Temps, replicate your environment variables, and redeploy — typically under an hour per app. Docker Compose stacks may need converting to individual Temps services if you want the built-in observability to instrument each container separately, but the app code is entirely portable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Dokploy pricing, free tier limits, and Next.js support in 2026.

Dokploy vs Temps: which should I choose?

Choose Temps if you want deployments plus built-in observability — it bundles web analytics, Sentry-compatible error tracking, session replay, and uptime monitoring into a single Rust binary, so you don't wire up Prometheus, Grafana, or Sentry yourself. Choose Dokploy if first-class Docker Compose and Docker Swarm support matter to you, or if you want the larger community (32k+ GitHub stars). Both are free, open-source, and self-hosted with git-push deploys, automatic SSL, preview environments, and managed PostgreSQL/Redis/MongoDB.

What does Temps include that Dokploy doesn't?

Temps includes four things Dokploy delegates to external tools: web analytics (privacy-first, unlimited), error tracking (Sentry-compatible — point the official Sentry SDK at a Temps DSN), session replay, and uptime monitoring with alerts and status pages. It also bundles S3-compatible object storage and transactional email. Dokploy handles deployments well but expects you to run Prometheus/Grafana for metrics, an external Sentry or GlitchTip for errors, OpenReplay or FullStory for replay, and Uptime Kuma for monitoring.

What does Dokploy do better than Temps?

Dokploy has first-class Docker Compose support with Docker Swarm mode for multi-server clusters, a larger community (32k+ GitHub stars), multi-org RBAC team management, and SSO/SAML on its enterprise tier. Temps does not have first-class Docker Compose at the platform level and its team roles are more basic. If your workflow is built around docker-compose.yml stacks, Dokploy is the more natural fit.

How much does each cost?

Both are free to self-host on your own server, and both offer a managed option. Temps Cloud is ~$6/mo (Hetzner infrastructure cost plus a 30% margin, with no per-seat fees or bandwidth overages). Dokploy Cloud hosts the control plane starting around $4.50/mo per server, while your apps still run on your own servers. The practical cost difference shows up in the observability stack: with Dokploy you also pay for (or self-host and maintain) separate analytics, error tracking, replay, and monitoring tools; with Temps those are included in the one binary.
