How to choose between them
The trade-offs that follow from the figures above, rather than a single winner.
- Hostinger starts cheaper — $2.69 a month against $25 for Rocket.net.
- At ten people the gap is $23.01 a month, in Hostinger's favour — the pricing models diverge as the team grows.
- They charge differently: Hostinger is tiered and Rocket.net is flat rate. That, not the headline price, decides which is cheaper at your size.
- Their scores are within half a point of each other, so neither is the obvious choice on our scoring alone.
Scores follow our published methodology. Prices come from each vendor’s own pricing page — see the source and date on Hostinger and Rocket.net.
