Comparison
SeaGit vs Qovery
A developer platform that deploys apps into your own cloud account. Here is how SeaGit — a Kubernetes DevOps platform that deploys into your own cloud account — compares.
Is SeaGit a good Qovery alternative?
Yes — SeaGit is a direct Qovery alternative. Both deploy into your own AWS account rather than reselling infrastructure, and both offer preview-style environments and Git-based CI/CD. The difference is depth of Kubernetes control: SeaGit provisions and manages the full cluster — node groups, an add-on catalogue (Argo CD, Argo CI, Tekton, Prometheus, MinIO, EBS), multi-cluster deployments across regions and accounts, and automation rules that scale or power clusters on a schedule — where Qovery focuses on the application-deployment layer. SeaGit also builds container images inside your own cluster (Argo CI / Tekton) instead of on shared build servers. SeaGit has a free plan (one cluster, one environment, 100 deployments/month); with both tools you pay your own cloud bill directly, with no infrastructure markup.

Recently added to SeaGit
Newer SeaGit capabilities. Qovery's equivalents have not been checked yet, so they are listed here and not scored in the table above.
- Availability in one setting. Replicas, scheduling priority, spread across zones and nodes, and a disruption budget are set together per application.
- Safer Kubernetes upgrades. A version-skew guard blocks unsupported upgrade steps, and a failed node roll can be re-run.
- Build node groups. Node-group presets for build pipelines keep in-cluster image builds off the nodes serving your apps.
SeaGit vs Qovery: pricing & cost
SeaGit starts free — $0/month for one cluster, one environment and 100 deployments — and the Pro plan is $89.99/seat per month (save 11% billed annually). Because SeaGit is bring-your-own-cloud, you pay your cloud provider directly for compute with no infrastructure markup. Qovery sells flat monthly plans sized by users and clusters, with a 14-day trial; you additionally pay your own cloud provider for the underlying infrastructure.
Qovery publishes three flat plans, billed yearly: Team at $299/month (3 users, 1 managed cluster, 3,000 deployment minutes), Growth at $899/month (10 users, 2 clusters) and Business at $2,999/month (up to 25 users, 3 clusters). Each starts with a 14-day free trial; there is no free plan. SeaGit is cheaper to start and to run: the Free plan is $0, and Pro is $89.99/seat per month with up to 10 clusters, against $299/month for Qovery's entry plan with one cluster. With both platforms your cloud provider bills compute directly. Figures are published list prices as of October 2026; check Qovery pricing for the latest figures.
When to choose Qovery, and when to choose SeaGit
Both tools deploy into your cloud account, so the choice comes down to what you need to control and what you want to avoid running.
Choose Qovery if
- You need clouds other than AWS today. Qovery deploys to AWS, GCP, Azure and Scaleway; SeaGit deploys to AWS only.
- You want the control plane self-hosted. Qovery lists a self-hosted Helm install on its Enterprise plan; SeaGit does not offer one.
- You need a compliance report on day one. Qovery lists a SOC 2 Type II report and a HIPAA add-on on Business; this comparison does not claim either for SeaGit.
- You want Kubernetes hidden entirely, with no node groups or add-ons to manage.
Choose SeaGit if
- You are on AWS and want to own the cluster: node groups, add-ons, multi-cluster deployments and scheduled scaling.
- You want in-cluster CI (Argo CI) and GitOps (Argo CD) without a separate CI vendor.
- You want a free plan to start. Qovery has a 14-day trial and its entry plan is $299/month billed yearly.
- You want whole-stack templates such as a RAG stack or an LLM gateway deployed into your account.
Moving from Qovery to SeaGit
A practical order of operations. Run the new environment alongside Qovery until traffic has moved and you have checked it.
- Confirm your workloads run on AWS. SeaGit deploys only to AWS, so Qovery services on GCP, Azure or Scaleway need a new home first.
- Connect the same AWS account to SeaGit and create a cluster (see the Getting Started and Clusters docs).
- Recreate each service as a Dockerfile repository, a pre-built registry image or a Helm chart (see the Applications docs). The docs describe no automated Qovery config import, so plan to re-enter settings.
- Re-enter environment variables in SeaGit (see the Variables docs). Keep secret values out of the repository.
- Deploy to a preview environment first and check it, then use Mark as Main (see the Deployments docs).
- Move the domain with DNS (see the Domains docs), and stop the Qovery application once traffic is confirmed on SeaGit.
SeaGit vs Qovery — FAQ
Does Qovery have a RAG or LLM stack template?
- Not as a ready-made template, as of October 2026. Qovery Blueprints provide single infrastructure blocks such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, S3 and Redis, and Qovery describes whole-environment blueprints as on its roadmap; private RAG appears as a use case you assemble yourself. SeaGit deploys a complete RAG stack from one template — a Qdrant vector database, an answering API on Amazon Bedrock with citations, a web UI and document sync — into your own AWS account, on paid plans.
Is SeaGit cheaper than Qovery?
- Yes, at list price. Qovery's entry plan, Team, is $299 per month billed yearly for 3 users and 1 cluster, with a 14-day trial and no free plan (October 2026). SeaGit has a $0 Free plan, and SeaGit Pro is $89.99/seat per month with up to 10 clusters. Both run in your own cloud account, so the cloud bill itself is the same either way.
Is there a free Qovery alternative?
- Yes. SeaGit offers a free plan with one Kubernetes cluster, one environment and 100 deployments per month. Qovery offers a 14-day trial and its plans start at $299 per month (October 2026). Like Qovery, SeaGit deploys into your own cloud account, so your cloud provider bills compute directly.
How is SeaGit different from Qovery?
- Both deploy into your own AWS account. SeaGit manages the full Kubernetes cluster — node groups, add-ons, multi-cluster deployments and scheduled automation — and builds images inside your cluster, whereas Qovery centres on the application-deployment layer.
Can I move from Qovery to SeaGit?
- Yes. Because both run in your own cloud account and deploy container, Git or Helm applications, you can connect the same cloud account and Git repositories to SeaGit and redeploy without re-hosting your infrastructure elsewhere.
Does SeaGit support preview environments like Qovery?
- Yes. Every push can create an ephemeral deployment on its own isolated URL — a real-infrastructure dark release — without disturbing your main deployment.
Which clouds does Qovery support that SeaGit does not?
- Qovery lists AWS, GCP, Azure and Scaleway as places to run your workloads. SeaGit currently deploys to AWS only. If you run on GCP or Azure today, SeaGit is not a drop-in replacement yet.
Does Qovery offer a self-hosted option that SeaGit lacks?
- Qovery offers a self-hosted control plane, installed with a Helm chart into your own cluster, on its Enterprise plan. SeaGit is a hosted control plane that deploys into your AWS account.
