Enhance vs Runcloud vs ServerAvatar vs Ploi

Been using enhance but curious about the others. Potentially want to run more than just basic wordpress websites and try to run mastodon, peertube, friendica, etc. and i'm wondering if any of them support them better. (they all at least support servers with multiple ubuntu versions while enhance only supports 24.04?)
I don't want to pay over 20$ a month right now, enhance is very conveniently priced at $5 a month and why i went with it first.

Honestly confused on what featueres each is missing, i have a seperate service for mail so ability to install a mail role isn't super important but is always nice to have.
ploi seems annoying with pricing, im thinking 5 servers 20$ month server avatar with scaling up as needed or runcloud 20$ month 50 servers which lets me rent and spreadout with many cheaper vps
Add Cloudron too
Easypanel.io is free if you don't need fancy monitoring and backup feature.
I preferred Runcloud over Ploi when I was looking at alternatives to Laravel Forge (though I still use Forge). You could also self-host CapRover.
I really like the monitoring and backup features, its why I'm looking into these
ploi seems to be missing a lot of features unless you get their best plan, no longer considering it
I never thought I would stop using Runcloud but noticed a significant degradation and more bugs over the last year and a half. Their backup system frequently fails and not happy that at the end of the year, you will need to be on the business plan for API access. So I cancelled my subscription to Runcloud last month. For 8 Euros and 5 Servers, Ploi is a nice system to play with and their load balancing works well. I'm not sure I would use Ploi in production. I personally use Enhance (have yet to exceed $5!) for most sites and Fastpanel/xCloud for multisite installations.
I love Enhance and I'll go for it! It just works and kinda easy to setup.
With the exception of Ploi, I thought all of those panels were mostly aimed at hosting websites.
Have you looked into Coolify or similar?
