In their own words
Edgegap
Edgegap provides matchmaking, game server hosting, and orchestration on public edge computing infrastructure for multiplayer games. Its regionless hosting can cache and deploy game servers on demand across more than 615 locations without an SDK. The orchestrator places deployments on available servers; Edgegap says this can reduce player latency by up to 58%. Hybrid orchestration can combine Edge Cloud hosting with a Private Fleet. The service also offers automated matchmaking and a server browser on managed clusters. Listed engine plugins cover Unity, Unreal Engine, and Godot, while service integrations include Unity Gaming Services matchmaking, Nakama, PlayFab, and Epic Online Services Lobbies. Edge Cloud containers are limited to 24 consecutive hours; Private Fleets are directed to users needing longer-running containers. Distributed Relays support peer-to-peer networking but provide neither compute nor authoritative game servers. The free trials have usage or time limits. Edge Cloud is billed by vCPU-minute and lists $0.10/GB monthly egress; a Private Fleet Bare Metal listing gives $0.03 per vCPU-hour billed monthly, with a 12-month host rate of $280 per month.
