Convox vs HatchBox: What are the differences?
Developers describe Convox as "Launch a Private Cloud in Minutes. The simplicity of Heroku. The power of AWS".

On the other hand, HatchBox is detailed as "Super easy Rails servers". Configure any server to run Ruby on Rails servers in minutes and without hassle.
