Galaxy is the hosting platform from Meteor Software for Meteor, Node.js, AdonisJS and Python apps, with managed MongoDB, PostgreSQL and Redis. Quave ONE is built by long-time Meteor contributors and runs Meteor apps and managed MongoDB on our regions or in your own cloud account.
Facts checked on November 10, 2026, with a source link on every row.
Galaxy is made by the company behind Meteor: you deploy with the Meteor CLI, Monti APM is included on the Professional plan, and it has managed MongoDB with replica sets. If you want the official Meteor host and are fine with its three regions, it is a safe choice.
Quave ONE costs less for the same RAM: a 1 GB Standard container on Galaxy Essentials is $0.08/hour (Galaxy's own example is about $58/month), while 1 vCPU and 1 GB on Quave ONE (2 zClouds) is $15/month. Quave ONE also runs any Dockerfile, has Jobs with schedules, a São Paulo region, logs kept 20 days and Connect for your own cloud.
