About flowsmithy

VPS comparisons for self-hosted AI and automation, written by a developer who actually runs this stuff.

Most "best VPS for X" articles are written by copywriters who never deployed the tool. flowsmithy is the opposite: every recommendation starts from the real resource needs of n8n, Ollama, Supabase and friends, and is checked against a reproducible methodology.

Our methodology

• Resource requirements come from official docs and are stated as estimates until measured.
• Benchmarks (tokens/sec, first-token latency) are run with identical Docker setups across providers and published with raw data.
• Pricing is tracked over time; we note when it changes.
• Affiliate relationships are disclosed prominently and never decide the ranking.

See the benchmarks page for the current methodology and data, and the disclosure page for how the site is funded.
