Render🇺🇸
Render offers more managed services under one platform. For example databases, caches, cron jobs, and background workers. However, the cost to run an equivalent app will be generally higher on Render.

Scaleway🇫🇷
Scaleway's serverless containers might be a good alternative if you're looking for an EU-based provider. However, they don't offer nearly as many data center locations as Fly.io.
Railway🇺🇸
Railway is a good alternative to Fly.io if you're looking for a similar developer experience and managed database offerings. However, they don't yet offer as many datacenter locations and instance configuration options.
