Which ones host in France?

Scalingo, Clever Cloud and while. Coolify does too, if you rent your server in France.

Which one has an MCP server for my agent?

while and Coolify have one, and so does Clever Cloud, in an early version. Scalingo has no official one.

What about a large company?

while’s Enterprise plan is on quote, with high availability by default and a 7-year audit log.

Best French PaaS in 2026: 4 options compared

Your apps must stay in Europe, and preferably in France. Here are the PaaS that make it possible, and what each one does when an AI agent is the one deploying.

The right choice depends on your app

Do your apps handle health data, or do you need SecNumCloud-qualified infrastructure? Choose Scalingo: it hosts health data, and offers a region on Outscale’s SecNumCloud infrastructure, on request¹.
Would you rather keep your own servers? Choose Coolify: it is open source and free, and it turns your servers into a PaaS².
Does your AI agent deploy, and must it never break anything in production without you? Choose while: sensitive actions wait for your approval, and your keys stay out of its reach.

Try while on your app, without an account. Copy the instructions

Scalingo, built for compliance

Scalingo is built for compliance, with ISO 27001 and health data hosting, and it responds to critical incidents in under 15 minutes on average¹.

Clever Cloud, many languages in France

Clever Cloud runs your apps in France by default⁸, with many languages.

Coolify, European and open source, on your servers

Coolify is developed in Hungary, open source and free, and it turns your servers into a PaaS².

while, the French PaaS built for your AI agent

Your agent connects to while over MCP and does the rest: it deploys the app and its PostgreSQL database, its jobs and its storage, follows the logs and fixes things. Sensitive actions, like deleting a production database, wait for your approval, and your agent never sees your keys. Your apps and their backups are hosted in France, by Nextmap.
