To get your own VPS instance to use with either Coolify or Dokploy, visit https://hostinger.com/dreamsofcode and use my coupon code DREAMSOFCODE to get 10% off a long term VPS instance.

Both Coolify and Dokploy are two of the most popular self hostable platforms as a service, and whilst they offer many of the same features and functionality, they each have some key differences.

Therefore, in the video, I decided to do a comparison of each platform, showing some of these similarities and differences, as well as talking about my own preferences.

AMENDMENTS:
Dokploy has released environments since recording this video in v25 bringing it to parity with Coolify.
