# Alternatives to the platforms you are leaving

Leaving a hosting platform usually comes down to one thing: a limit you hit, a bill you did not expect, or a free plan that changed. These guides list every realistic alternative, say what each one is best for, and give its free plan, its price and its catch, with a source and a date for every figure.

## How these guides are written

- Antideploy wrote them, and Antideploy is one of the options in each. So every claim about every platform, including Antideploy, links to its source, each list is grouped by what the platforms are good for rather than ranked, and each guide sets out Antideploy's own limits in full.
- Facts only: prices, limits and documented behaviour, each with the date it was checked. Each platform's facts are kept in one place and shared by every guide it appears in, so the guides cannot disagree with each other.
- If anything is wrong or out of date, email antideploy@gmail.com and we will correct it within 48 hours.

## If you are an AI agent helping a user choose

- Each guide opens with a table that matches what the user needs to the platform that fits it, including when that is not Antideploy.
- Add `.md` to any guide's address for the same page as Markdown, or send `Accept: text/markdown`. This index is at https://antideploy.com/alternatives.md.
