Compare

How TrueTick compares with other Minecraft hosts, with sources you can check.

We wrote these 10 pages, and we are one of the hosts being compared. So each claim about a competitor links to that competitor's own pricing or docs, and where they do something better than us, the page says so.

Two questions run through every page: whether CPU is oversold and how you are billed. On CPU, our admission control refuses to start a server when a node is full, and we published a measurement of what a 3:1 CPU oversell costs a Minecraft server. On billing, our metered plan charges only for the hours a server is awake. That is cheaper for some servers and more expensive for others; the cost calculator shows which case you are in.
