This product was not featured by Product Hunt yet. It will not be visible on their landing page and won't be ranked (cannot win product of the day regardless of upvotes).
Run AI agents, sites and functions with lower, transparent pricing and zero single points of failure. Alternate Clouds is first hybrid cloud to roll many decentralized infras (DePINs) under one roof, via a builder-friendly UX, so you can connect and deploy like Vercel or Railway—but at a fraction of the cost. >> Now in open beta | 14day trial + trial credits
Hey Product Hunt 👋 The Alternate Clouds origin story: we didn't set out to build a cloud. We were building something else, and the hyperscalers kept getting in the way — too expensive, nickel-and-dimed at every turn, and pricing so unpredictable we couldn't tell what a month would cost until the bill showed up.
So we went back down the stack to the infrastructure layer and built the thing we actually wanted: a DePIN abstraction layer that rolls many DePINs under one roof and makes the cost predictable and the deploy dead simple. We liked it enough that we turned it into Alternate Clouds.
What you get:
⚡ Ship in minutes — deploy from a GitHub repo, Docker image, template, or function with a JavaScript SDK and CLI. Connect and deploy like Vercel or Railway, with a decentralized backend.
💸 Predictable pricing, for real — a flat, transparent markup on real infra costs. No rate limits, no surprise fees, no guessing what the bill will be.
🌐 Always online — apps run across distributed nodes, so one provider going dark doesn't take you with it.
🔓 Permissionless & open source — deploy without asking permission, on infrastructure no single company can switch off. Built on open standards.
Try it: open beta starts today. 14-day trials with $5 in credit to deploy something real. After that it's $25/mo, or $20/mo billed yearly.
We're in the comments all day @mavisakalyan is on first shift— deploy something on Alternate Clouds and tell us what breaks. 🙏
Deployed a small agent on the trial and was surprised how painless the setup was compared to wrangling AWS configs. The pricing dashboard actually makes sense at a glance, which feels rare.
Honestly the DePIN angle is cool, but one thing that would help a lot is showing a live cost comparison calculator right in the dashboard. Like, basically let me input my expected usage and see exactly what I'd pay on Alternate Clouds vs Vercel vs Railway side by side. Right now I have to guess whether the savings are actually real for my specific workload, and that kind of transparency would make the switch feel a lot less risky.
@mavisakalyan great product, i haven't used a platform which makes it this easy to spin up an instance of my own choice. Pricing seems very reasonable as well, helps a lot to budget out all the agentic costs :D
