Reviewer scorecard
“Solid Heroku alternative with better pricing. Auto-deploy from Git, managed Postgres, and Redis without the complexity.”
“Cheapest way to run Llama and Mistral models in production. The inference speed is competitive with major providers. OpenAI-compatible API makes switching easy.”
“Reliable, well-priced, and boring in the best way. Free tier is useful for side projects.”
“The pricing is genuinely good and reliability has improved. The fine-tuning workflow is straightforward. A solid choice for open-source model deployment.”
“Not relevant for non-developers. Use Vercel or Netlify if you want frontend-first deployment.”
“Together is betting that the future is open-source models. As Llama and Mistral improve, inference providers like Together become the AWS of AI.”
