How Other Tech Stacks Up

How does Kinsta’s PostgreSQL hosting stack up against other options?

KINSTAOTHERS
Support24/7/365
No extra fees, support contracts, or tiers. Get a real human expert in minutes (holidays and weekends included).
Tickets or forum support only
You’ll pay up to $1,000/month at Heroku, Digital Ocean, or Fly to access direct contact with a support agent.
Speed30% faster
Your Kinsta-hosted app can use internal database connections getting you 30% faster speeds than Heroku (after extensive testing).
Slow external connections
Heroku and most other hosts don’t offer internal database connections, which can lead to slower, less secure, yet more expensive database hosting
SimplicityMyKinsta
Your MyKinsta dashboard lets you do everything from one place. No fiddling around with outdated dashboards. And our product lines are simple to understand.
No MyKinsta and complexity
Many other hosts have complicated product lines with hundreds of confusing and overlapping options. And they often have multiple confusing, separate control panels.

These comparisons are based on hundreds of real-world speed tests performed on actual server clusters and good-faith comparative research performed throughout November and December 2022.
