Stape is good option for sGTM or CAPI Hosting. But if you need more then just hosting, you can use Hardal.

If you're evaluating hosting because of [Safari ITP](https://usehardal.com/safari-itp-guide), [cookieless GA4 with sGTM](https://usehardal.com/server-gtm-cookieless-ga4), or [Meta Conversions API](https://usehardal.com/meta-conversions-api-gateway-setup), Hardal includes those as product, not extra hosting SKUs.

Costing it out? [Stape pricing explained](https://usehardal.com/blog/stape-pricing) breaks down the plans, what counts as a request, and the one-container-one-site rule that decides multi-brand budgets.
