I took a closer look, and indeed, it's almost the same as DigitalOcean. The 2 CPU plans under basic confused me, and I forgot that the whole section was Shared CPU.

They confuse the heck out of me too. The world of VM CPU pricing is bonkers.

Indeed. Still, I think these shared CPU thread VPSes work pretty well up until a certain point, and it's probably true of a fly.io shared CPU thread MicroVM. It's good to be aware of the options and to switch. I would recommend using OCI containers with VPSes, so you can easily switch between plans and providers.
