Built by the Laravel team, with unlimited servers from $19. Database backups, server monitoring and role-based access are on the $39 Business plan.

Pick Laravel Forge if

  • You build on Laravel and want the tool made by its authors.
  • You want unlimited servers at one flat price.

Pick Nuvlo if

  • Backups, monitoring and team roles without the $39 Business plan.
  • Each WordPress site in its own containers, with malware scans.
  • A free plan for your first server.
  • A leak check on the live site after every app, PHP or static deploy, with AI fixes as pull requests.

The cheapest plan that allows each number of servers. Your cloud provider bills the server itself either way.
