Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Atlas Cloud

  • Not every model accepts every request format. Each model publishes its own supported_apis list, and Gemini models expose their full multimodal capability only on the native Gemini format, so 'change the base URL' does not hold for every model
  • No Anthropic models were listed when checked in November 2026: the provider directory showed Anthropic with 0 models, so the Anthropic Messages format is a compatibility layer for other models rather than access to Claude
  • The model count is stated inconsistently across the site: the homepage title says 400+, the vendor says 500+ and the pricing page listed 550, which makes it hard to know what is available without checking the live list
  • Billing is prepaid. When the balance runs out new API requests are rejected with 402 Payment Required unless auto top-up is enabled, which matters for production workloads
  • Most models are third-party models resold through the platform, so pricing and availability follow upstream providers and change often; prices on the pricing page are shown against a separate official price and discounts vary by model

Qovery

  • No plan publishes a price, deployment minute overage rates are not disclosed, and there is a 14 day trial rather than a free tier, so you cannot budget or compare against alternatives without going through sales
  • The GPL-3.0 engine and console do not constitute a self-hostable product, because the control plane and API are closed and the self-hosted option is gated behind Enterprise, so the open licence gives you no exit if the company changes direction
  • Qovery provisions managed Kubernetes into your account, which means the cloud bill sits on top of the licence and Qovery initiates control plane and ingress controller upgrades on infrastructure your team is accountable for
  • The company repositioned to agentic infrastructure in June 2026 and now ships a deployment platform, a browser development portal and autonomous coding agents concurrently, so a buyer of the deployment product is not at the centre of the roadmap
  • Team and Business are capped at two and three connected clusters with fixed 4 vCPU CI runners and no single sign-on on Team, which pushes teams of moderate size onto quoted Enterprise pricing earlier than the plan names imply

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Atlas Cloud: How is Atlas Cloud priced?

Pay as you go, per image, per second of video or per token, drawn from a prepaid balance with no subscription required. Examples in November 2026 were $0.004 per image for GPT Image 2 text-to-image, $0.02 per image for Seedream 5.5 and from $0.11 per second for Kling 4.0. Enterprise volume discounts are available through sales.

Source
Qovery: Does Qovery run my applications on its own servers?

No. It provisions and operates Kubernetes inside your AWS, GCP, Azure or Scaleway account, so compute and data stay with your cloud provider and that bill is entirely separate from the Qovery licence.

Atlas Cloud: Is the Atlas Cloud API OpenAI-compatible?

Yes. The base URL https://api.atlascloud.ai accepts OpenAI Chat Completions, Completions, Responses and Images requests, Anthropic Messages and Google Gemini requests with the same API key. Not every model supports every format; each model publishes a supported_apis list.

Source
Qovery: Can I self-host Qovery?

Only on Enterprise. The deployment engine and console are GPL-3.0, but the control plane is closed source and the self-hosted and air-gapped deployments are commercial Enterprise features.

Atlas Cloud: Can I use Atlas Cloud in ComfyUI?

Yes. The Atlas Cloud ComfyUI nodes, installed from the AtlasCloudAI/atlascloud_comfyui GitHub repository, call hosted models from a ComfyUI graph. Generation runs on Atlas Cloud, so large video and image models work without a local GPU.

Source
Qovery: What does it cost?

Qovery does not publish a rate card. Team and Business are billed on usage and quoted through sales, and Enterprise is fully custom. There is a 14 day trial with no card required.

Atlas Cloud: What happens when my balance runs out?

New API requests are rejected with 402 Payment Required and you receive low-balance notifications. Service resumes as soon as you top up, and auto top-up can be enabled to avoid interruptions.

Source
Qovery: What survives if I stop paying?

The Kubernetes cluster and the workloads keep running in your cloud account, but you lose the console, the deployment pipeline, preview environments and every process built on top of them.

Atlas Cloud: What is the Atlas Cloud Coding Plan?

A set of flat-rate subscriptions and 90-day credit packs for open-weight LLMs such as GLM, MiniMax, Kimi and DeepSeek, designed for coding agents including Claude Code, Codex and Cursor. Monthly subscriptions carry a weekly limit that resets every Monday.

Source
Atlas Cloud: Where is Atlas Cloud based?

Its headquarters are at 1540 Broadway, New York, with offices in Silicon Valley and Calgary.
