No server to manage. No Linux administrator needed. Frappe Cloud handles automatic ERPNext upgrades, daily backups, SSL certificates and monitoring. PS Digitise provisions and configures Frappe Cloud as part of every implementation - free.
Frappe Cloud pricing is based on CPU, database and storage - not per user. Add 10 more employees on ERPNext - your hosting bill doesn't change. Both plans include SSL, backups, monitoring and automatic Frappe app upgrades.
Self-hosting looks cheaper on the surface - a VPS costs ₹800–₹2,000/month. But the hidden costs add up fast without a dedicated Linux administrator.
