Reflex vs RunCloud
RunCloud helps manage Nginx/Apache, SSL, and WordPress/Laravel sites across VPS providers. Reflex overlaps on “servers you control” but layers reflexd, metrics ingestion, Brain evaluations, and Reflex Pipeline so deploy events and runtime incidents share one audit-friendly timeline.
| Topic | Reflex | RunCloud |
|---|---|---|
| Total cost of ownership (typical stack) | One subscription covers server operations, Git-driven deploys with health gating and rollback where your tier allows, uptime-style checks, and Brain-led remediation — see Pricing for current tiers. | Teams often pay for a server panel, separate deploy automation, monitoring/alerting, and ad-hoc incident tooling — each with its own renewal, integration work, and on-call runbook. |
| Primary focus | Incident detection + remediation + Git deploys (Studio+) | Web panel for stacks, users, backups, and scripting hooks |
| Repair depth | Structured playbooks for OOM, PHP-FPM, queues, disk pressure patterns | Notifications and manual fixes unless you extend with external tools |
| Git workflows | VCS connections and Pipeline promotion with health gating on Studio+ | Git deployment hooks and scripts depending on plan and integrations |
| When RunCloud fits | — | Agencies managing many small sites with panel-first workflows |
| When Reflex fits | Teams who outgrow “panel + SSH” when incidents repeat across fleets | — |
