Why people consider alternatives to Wasp

Wasp is an open-source, full-stack web app development framework designed to accelerate the creation and deployment of web applications.

Teams most often switch away when one of these starts to bite:

A feature or quota ceiling that a paid specialist covers and this free tool does not.
Missing integrations with the rest of your stack.
Performance or scale limits as your needs grow.
A specific feature gap you have hit in hosting & deployment.

The 5 direct alternatives below cover the same core job (hosting & deployment) with different trade-offs. The 3 tools marked "Same category as Wasp" fit the category but replace Wasp less directly.
