How TrueTick stacks up against other Minecraft hosts — numbers you can check.

These 9 pages are written by the paid host you would be comparing against. That is a conflict of interest, so each one is built to be checked rather than believed: the competitor's own pricing and docs are linked from the page, and where they do something better than us, the page says so.

Two axes actually separate hosts here: whether CPU is oversold and how you are billed. On the first, our guarantee is enforced by admission control that refuses to start a server when a node is full — and we published the measurement instead of asserting it: what a 3:1 CPU oversell costs a Minecraft server. On the second, metered billing charges for the hours a server is actually awake, which is a better deal for some servers and a worse one for others; the cost calculator shows which case you are in.
