TrueTick vs BisectHosting: one monthly plan for 110+ games vs metered Minecraft hosting

If you're searching "bisecthosting alternative" or just comparing Minecraft hosts, BisectHosting is probably already on your shortlist. Its Minecraft hosting is one plan, BisectOne — "One Plan, 110+ Supported Games" — sized by RAM, priced per GB and paid monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually, with an optional account-wide BisectBoost add-on for more backup and instance storage and temporary RAM boosts. TrueTick took a different fork: billing for the hours a server is awake, and a CPU share that admission control reserves for every running server. Written by the competitor, so every claim about BisectHosting below links to their own site — check it before trusting either of us.

Who each one is actually for

BisectHosting is for a group that wants one plan with everything in it — 2,300+ modpacks, 8,000+ plugins, 21 locations and 24/7/365 support, plus 110+ games to swap between on the same plan.

TrueTick is for a group whose server isn't busy all day, and who'd rather pay for the hours it's awake than for a period, on a CPU share that's reserved while it runs.

The comparison

One plan paid per period, or a bill that follows the hours a server is awake. Checked September 2026 — every BisectHosting cell links to their own site:

	BisectHosting	TrueTick
Plans	One plan, BisectOne, sized by RAM, plus an optional BisectBoost add-on	Metered: $0.012 per active GB-hour, or flat $3/GB-month if you want always-on
Billing	Priced per GB, paid monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually	Metered by the minute the server is awake; flat by the UTC day it runs
Pay for idle time?	Yes — servers "run 24/7 without interruption" on a plan paid by the period	Metered: only the idle wait before it sleeps (a delay you set per server), then $0 while asleep. Flat: every day it runs
CPU	Every plan "can access up to 8 vCores", with core access "managed to maintain fair usage and platform stability, rather than enforcing hard per-plan core caps"; the same page's comparison table ticks "dedicated CPU cores"	A reserved CPU share per running server; admission control refuses a start the node can't back
Modpacks	2,300+ modpacks with automated installs	Forge, NeoForge and Fabric from the Modrinth and CurseForge catalogues, sized to your RAM tier
Other games	110+, swappable on the same plan	Minecraft only
Locations	21 worldwide	NA (Canada) and EU (France)

Where BisectHosting is the right call

• You want burst room without picking a CPU tier. Every BisectOne plan "can access up to 8 vCores" when the game needs them.
• You want a big catalogue and support on tap. 2,300+ modpacks, 8,000+ plugins and 24/7/365 live chat and tickets. We answer by email and Discord, and we don't promise a response time.
• Your players are spread out. 21 locations against our two regions.
• You also play other games. 110+ games on the same plan; we host Minecraft and nothing else.
• A number per period is simpler than metered math for your group. No GB-hour tracking, no thinking about sleep and wake — pick a size, pay for the period, done.

If one plan with a big catalogue and many locations is what your group wants, BisectHosting is a reasonable, well-established pick — not a strawman we're knocking down.

Where the two differ in our favour

• You pay for the hours the server is awake. A 2 GB server that's awake five hours a week costs $0.12 that week on the metered plan, and a 4 GB one $0.24; awake time runs until the server hibernates after the last player leaves, a delay you set per server. A BisectOne plan is paid for the period, busy or not.
• Admission control you can hold us to. Each running server's CPU share is reserved before it starts, and a node that can't back one more refuses the start. BisectHosting describes its side as core access "managed to maintain fair usage"; how much of a core one plan is guaranteed isn't on that page. What oversell costs a Minecraft server is measured on our benchmark page, not asserted.

Verdict

If one plan with 110+ games, 21 locations, a big modpack catalogue and 24/7 support is what your group wants, BisectHosting is a reasonable, established pick — we mean that. If your server is quiet most of the week and you'd rather pay for the hours it's awake, on a CPU share that's reserved while it runs, check the maths for your server or create one.
