Coolify is a self-hosted platform connected to infrastructure you provide. Blossom is a managed App platform with Capacity, health, recovery, and observation across Blossom Cloud or Blossom BYOC (bring your own cloud). Here's a closer look: ## Coolify - You provide and operate the hosts for a self-hosted installation - Installation can begin with a setup script after the host is ready - Supports multiple programming languages and frameworks - Docker-based deployment model - Community-driven development and support - Free self-hosted version and a paid cloud-hosted option ## Blossom - Managed App platform with UI and git-based workflows - [Blossom Cloud or Blossom BYOC](/docs/locations/cloud-providers/) with the same Product workflow - Apps, Environments, Services, Jobs, managed Data, and [Capacity](/docs/capacity/) - Service scaling and recovery expressed through Product health - Published standard pricing, prorated by active time - Published prices and one capacity limit before paid Capacity expands - Logs, Metrics, Health, Containers, Shell, and Activity ## Quick Comparison | Feature | Coolify | Blossom | | ---------------- | -------------- | ------------------------- | | Hosting Model | Self-hosted | **Managed platform** | | Capacity | Customer-operated hosts | **Managed regional Capacity** | | Scaling | Configured across the self-hosted platform and hosts | **Service scaling and managed Capacity** | | Infrastructure Operation | Customer | **Blossom** | | Setup Path | Prepare infrastructure and install Coolify | **Create an App, choose a region, and Deploy** | | Support | Community and paid offerings | **Commercial support** | ## Conclusion **Coolify** can be a good choice for developers who want a self-hosted deployment platform and are comfortable operating the infrastructure it uses. **Blossom** handles web Services, workers, Jobs, and managed Data through Product-level Deploys, scaling, recovery, and observation. Customers select a region, review Capacity and price, and deploy; Blossom BYOC adds a provider connection without changing the App workflow.
