48/100Light Cloud collapses Git-to-live deployment, managed Postgres, and per-branch preview URLs into one project, so an agency can stand up a client full-stack app without a DevOps hire. The economics are lopsided: Lite runs $5/month and Business $149/month, and scale-to-zero containers mean idle client apps bill nothing between releases. The catch is that Light Cloud publishes no white-label or multi-tenant surfaces, so agencies sell the managed outcome, not a branded portal.
