Convex review

Requests are billed at $0.20 to $2.20, a range rather than a single rate, so the effective figure depends on which line a workload lands on. Compute time is charged on a separate meter, which can outweigh the request fee for functions that stay busy.

The free allowance covers 1,000,000 requests, which places Convex at 9 of 39 in this comparison. Generous in absolute terms, it is not the largest free allowance here, so plan around it if traffic spikes.

Compute time bills on a GB-second scale of $0.000044 to $0.000092. On this comparison that measure ranks Convex at 26 of 27, a weaker showing than the request fee. Short bursts of work cost little here, while functions that stay busy do not.

A single function can run 1,800 at the ceiling, which covers background jobs and scheduled work that would time out on a plain request. Anything longer needs splitting across calls, or moving to a dedicated service.

Support runs on community and email, so email and community are the routes listed. There is no phone line or live chat in that set, which matters for teams that want a person on call during an incident.

Convex places at 5 of 36 on request price. Google Cloud bills $0.40 for requests, which sits inside Convex's range, while SberCloud lists RUB 14.34 in another currency. Currency and meter differences make any direct swap a calculation.

DeepInfra spans $0.019 to $10 for requests, so its floor sits under Convex's $0.20 to $2.20 and its ceiling above it. Google Cloud's $0.40 falls inside Convex's range, so the pick depends on your traffic shape.

It suits teams that want functions, data and file storage in a single backend, and that can work with support on community and email. The free allowance of 1,000,000 requests makes prototyping cheap, while request fees of $0.20 to $2.20 keep the meter readable.
