Specrux is a tool that validates the real free-tier capabilities of hosting and domain platforms against their official documentation. No marketing fluff, no hidden tricks—just the facts you need to choose your stack.
Choosing a backend provider or domain host based on marketing copy is risky:
- Hidden Limitations: Many "free" hosting plans silently block outbound SMTP, restrict WebSockets, sleep after 15 minutes of inactivity, or lack persistent disk storage.
- Hidden Pricing: "Free domains" are often only free for the first year, locking you into high renewal rates.
- Documentation Maze: These restrictions are usually buried in fine print across pricing pages, FAQs, and changelogs.
Specrux solves this by fetching, parsing, and presenting the actual capabilities and limitations of popular platforms in one clean dashboard.
- Saves Time: Instant confirmation of platform limits without digging through pages of official documentation.
- Prevents Rework: Verify that a provider supports your required features (like Docker, WebSockets, or cron jobs) before you start deploying.
- Avoids Surprise Costs: Get clarity on credit card requirements, commercial use policies, and renewal prices upfront.
- Hosting Validation: Instantly scan runtime details (Node.js, Docker), networking capabilities, email policies, storage options, and execution rules (background tasks, cron jobs, etc.).
- Domain Validation: Check free domain availability terms, renewal costs, DNS management, and subdomain support.
- Official References: Every check links directly to the official documentation source so you can verify the results yourself.
- Interactive UI: Clean capability chips, dynamic status alerts, and helpful loading statuses to keep validation quick and transparent.
