Koyeb vs Northflank

Koyeb

H100 at $2.50 and H200 at $3.00 an hour, billed per second. Changelog silent since 27 February 2026 and no CLI release since 12 May 2026.

Northflank

OpenAPI 3.0 with over 100 paths, enums and per_page, page and cursor on every list. No scale to zero for services; minimum instances must be at least 1.

Koyeb

1. Pass dry_run on service create or update to validate the definition before anything deploys
2. Page service lists with limit and offset and filter by statuses instead of fetching everything
3. Expect the first request after deep sleep to take 1 to 5 seconds and retry once with a timeout
4. Set --min-scale 0 on GPU services so idle instances stop billing
5. Re-check the Mistral transition before building anything long-lived on it

Northflank

1. Issue the agent a team token under an API role limited to one project, not a personal token
2. Read x-ratelimit-remaining and wait x-ratelimit-reset seconds on a 429; the default is 1,000 calls an hour
3. Page lists with per_page up to 100 and the returned cursor instead of numbered pages
4. Use a job, not a service, for anything that finishes; services bill until paused or deleted
5. Fetch any docs page with .md appended to get Markdown
