Upsun review

Entry pricing on Upsun starts at €9, which sits under the site median of €13.15 for the brands compared here. Requests are billed separately at €10, so a project with heavy traffic pays more than a project that mostly runs background tasks.

Upsun charges €10 for requests. Google Cloud lists $0.40 for the same measure, and DeepInfra runs $0.019 to $10. Upsun sits at the expensive end of the listed brands, ranking 30 of 36 here, and request volume is what drives the gap.

Upsun has a free tier, and it includes 500,000 free requests. That allowance ranks 26 of 39 among the brands compared here, so a prototype can be built and run before any spend, while sustained traffic pushes the bill onto the paid rate.

Tasks on Upsun run for as long as 86,400, which suits long batch jobs and scheduled maintenance work that would time out on request-based platforms. Short functions and quick API endpoints do not need that headroom, so the limit mainly rewards scheduled and background workloads.

Storage on Upsun is priced at €0.49, which sits between the site median of €0.15 and the upper figure of €0.88 for the brands listed here. Projects that keep large archives will feel that rate more than short-lived workloads.

Support on Upsun runs on help centre and community. That means written documentation and community answers carry the load, so teams expecting a phone line or live chat during an outage have to plan their own escalation path.

The overall score is 5.3. It splits into 8.2 for offer and 2.4 for cost, so the platform is judged strong on what it includes and weak on price, which matches the request rate comparison on the same page.

Upsun has been operating since 2009, so the platform is not a recent launch. Buyers weighing an established vendor against newer entrants can set that date against the free tier and request pricing of €10.
