We use Render for our startup and I think it’s major value add is the simple deployment story. We had a database go down for really strange reasons, and the render technical support was incredibly helpful to work with and resolved the issue in hours. The major cloud providers are quite intimidating to work with and frankly we have much bigger problems to spend our time on than (potentially) saving a couple grand a month. Heroku was nice but it’s been abandoned for years. Fly is a similar competitor but they seem to have monthly outages. We find Render simple, boring and dependable - for us that’s worth the premium they charge.
