# Deplo vs Coolify

## You already know how to use it.

It works like the cloud you're leaving: connect a repo, pick an environment, watch it deploy.

[Get started](https://deplo.build/docs/migrations/move-from-coolify)

## Three things you can't do on Coolify.

Not opinions: one is an open request on their tracker, the other two are in their own docs.

### Permissions per action, not per role

Coolify uses three team roles: Owner, Admin and Member with fixed permissions. Here, permissions are individual capabilities that can be combined into custom roles.

### One server, every team

In Coolify, servers are scoped to a team and cannot be shared between teams by default. Here, servers are instance-wide: you choose which teams can deploy on them.

### One network per environment

Coolify does not isolate environments at the network level by default. You can create separate networks, but they require additional configuration. Here, every environment gets its own private network.

| | Deplo | Coolify |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **One server, many teams**: In Coolify, servers are scoped to a team. Here, servers are instance-wide: you choose which teams can deploy on them. | Yes | No |
| **Roles you define yourself**: Not opinions: these differences are documented in Coolify's team, permissions, and networking model. | Yes | No |
| **Per-folder access**: A folder share gives someone everything inside one folder, and nothing outside it. | Yes | No |
| **Import of your current setup**: A wizard reads your Coolify over its API and rebuilds it here, volume data included. | Yes | No |
| **Backups encrypted before they leave**: Databases and volumes, encrypted on the machine. The recovery key opens them anywhere. | Yes | Partial |
| **Activity trail in the dashboard**: Who did what, and when, next to the thing it happened to. Not a log file to grep. | Yes | Partial |
| **Private network per environment**: Each environment gets its own network. Apps reach their database by name. | Yes | Partial |
| **A preview URL for every pull request**: Open a PR and it gets its own URL and environment. Close it and both disappear. | Yes | Yes |
| **MCP server for coding agents**: Off by default. On, an agent works under a token you mint, with the same checks as a person. | Yes | Yes |

## Try Deplo before you leave Coolify.

Click around a real Deplo on a real server for a few minutes. No email, no password, nothing to migrate yet.

## What you get on day one

Deploys, backups, logs, metrics and TLS, already on. Nothing to buy on top, nothing to hunt down.

### Let AI interact with your infra

Ask, and it's done. Connect Claude, Cursor or any assistant that supports MCP, and it can deploy, read the logs and roll back when you ask in plain words. It works with a key you create and can revoke at any time, and it can never do more than you can. Nothing connects until you create a key, and one switch turns it off for the whole team.

### Ship on every push

Your whole release process becomes a push. Connect GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket or Gitea once. Every push to your main branch goes live, every pull request on GitHub gets its own preview link that disappears when it closes, and a bad release goes back to the version that worked.

### Control who can do what

Your team works on the same apps without stepping on each other. Give each person exactly the access they need, like "can deploy, can't delete", and hand a freelancer or a client one project and nothing else. The activity timeline shows who did what and when, right in the dashboard.

### Host your Web app

Your app online without touching a setting. Connect the repo and you get a live link, and HTTPS the moment you add your domain. Deplo recognises your framework and builds it for you, and Postgres or Redis sits next to your app in two clicks. Same stack you ran on the cloud. Only the bill changed.

## Already running on Coolify?

The wizard reads your Coolify over its API and rebuilds it here, volume data included.

## Ten minutes from now, 
it's live.

Answer three questions and pick a host, or install Deplo on a server you already have. It's free, and leaving is as easy as arriving. What you do with the money you save is your business.
