The modpack installer is no longer the real difference
Everything else on this page is specs, and the specs are close enough that they will not decide it for you. Their one-click installer used to be the thing that did, and ours now does the same job: you search the pack, you press install once, and every mod of it lands in the folder with its checksum checked on the way in. Fabric, Forge and NeoForge are covered, a Paper or vanilla server never sees the screen because a pack does nothing there, and the config folders a pack ships with are the one part you still place yourself. Installing a pack by hand is a server pack zip, an empty server root and a startup jar; our modpack guide walks all of it, and it costs an afternoon the first time and ten minutes after that. If you never want to see a mods folder, that was a real reason to pick them, and no amount of NVMe made up for it; that reason is gone now, and the choice comes back to what the price buys, because that is what still makes a difference between the two. Where the models do meet is higher up: at their own $2.99 a gigabyte, matching the 4 GB in our Mini plan comes to $11.96 a month on their price list, and that is before anyone has told you how much processor sits behind it. Ours says 2 vCPU on the tin at €6.99 on a twenty-four month term.
The memory guide has those rows in full.
Questions people ask before switching
Do you have a one-click modpack installer?
Yes. The panel has a Modpacks screen with a search box and an Install this pack button, and it puts every mod of the pack in place for you on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge; the config folders a pack ships with are not installed, so you restart the server and place those yourself. Installing a pack here by hand is still an option too: a server pack uploaded through the file manager and a startup jar pointed at it. Our modpack guide has every step, including the two that people trip on.
Is per-GB pricing cheaper for a modpack?
At the small end, yes. Once a pack asks for eight or twelve gigabytes the two models meet, and then what matters is how much processor is behind those gigabytes.
How much memory does my pack need?
What its own page says. We list the six packs we host with their numbers, and the smallest plan that clears each one.
Summary
For a modded server run by somebody who would rather not touch files, their installer is worth the money on its own, and so is the one that sits in our own panel. For anyone comfortable uploading a zip, the question comes back to what the price buys: a stated number of cores and NVMe, against gigabytes on shared processors.
