Question 1

bolt.diy or PR-Agent: which should a small business choose?

bolt.diy: not estimated (no official RAM figure). PR-Agent: not estimated (no official RAM figure). Our estimate is the cheapest Hetzner Cloud plan that meets each project's official RAM and vCPU figure; it covers the server only.
