FAQ

Common questions about switching from Railway

Does Railway have a free tier?▾
Railway offers a one-time $5 trial credit, but no permanent free tier. Once your credits are used, the minimum Hobby plan costs $5/month plus usage-based charges for CPU, RAM, and network. WebSlop has a permanent free tier with 75 hours/month at no cost.
How does Railway's pricing compare to WebSlop?▾
Railway uses usage-based pricing (charged per GB-hour of RAM and CPU-second), which can lead to unpredictable bills. WebSlop uses flat monthly pricing: Free ($0), Starter ($5/mo), Glitch ($8/mo), Pro ($15/mo), and Business ($30/mo) — each with a clear allocation of hours and resources.
Can I migrate from Railway to WebSlop?▾
Yes. If your Railway app uses Node.js, push your code to WebSlop via Git or the browser editor. WebSlop reads your package.json and starts your app automatically. Set environment variables in the WebSlop dashboard.
Does WebSlop support auto-sleep like Railway?▾
WebSlop auto-sleeps apps after 30 minutes of inactivity and wakes them automatically on the next HTTP request. Railway does not auto-sleep — apps run 24/7 and consume resources continuously, which drives up usage costs.
Is WebSlop better than Railway for side projects?▾
For side projects with intermittent traffic, WebSlop is often the better choice. Its auto-sleep feature means you only consume hours when your app is actively serving requests, and the free tier covers most hobby workloads. Railway charges for every minute of uptime.
