# Compare platforms

> How Orgo compares to Fly.io, DigitalOcean, and Hetzner - a plain-language map so you can pick the right tool and migrate cleanly.

Orgo is a persistent cloud **desktop** for AI agents - a full Linux computer an agent drives over an HTTP API (built-in click, type, screenshot), and a 24/7 home for CLI agents like Hermes Agent, OpenClaw, or Claude Code. Fly.io, DigitalOcean, and Hetzner are general compute platforms. This page maps them side by side so you can choose, then open the guide for your source.

| **Best for**                  | General apps and services, multi-region | General self-managed servers                    | Low-cost general servers              | Agents driving a desktop or browser, and a 24/7 home for CLI agents (Hermes, OpenClaw, Claude Code) |

## How to choose

* **DigitalOcean or Hetzner** when you want a general Linux server you fully control - arbitrary services, ports, and public networking you manage yourself.
* **Fly.io** when you want a general app platform with fast microVMs, multi-region, and Anycast networking.
* **Orgo** when the job is an **agent driving a desktop or browser** (built-in click/type/screenshot), or a **persistent 24/7 home for a CLI agent** like Hermes, OpenClaw, or Claude Code - persistent by default, nothing to administer.

These are not mutually exclusive. A common pattern is a VPS or Fly for backend services and Orgo for the agent-driven desktop work.

<Info>
  **Scaling out?** Orgo runs deep US inventory and can support thousands of computers - and more - with global support. Planning a large or sustained fleet? [Reach out](mailto:spencer@orgo.ai) and we'll provision for it. You can also set custom limits and add machines from your Usage page (profile dropdown -> Usage) or the [CLI](/guides/cli).

## Pricing

Pricing models differ enough that one number misleads: the VPS providers bill a flat monthly rate per server, Fly.io bills usage-based per second, and Orgo bills per plan (a bundle of computers, a RAM pool, and support). Compare on total cost for your workload, not RAM alone - a raw VM leaves you to install and run the desktop, browser, and automation yourself, while an Orgo computer ships that built in.
