To be honest
When LuuxCraft may fit better
Your server runs Quilt
LuuxCraft supports Quilt; CraftLauncher covers Forge, NeoForge, Fabric and Vanilla.
A very small paid budget
Its €4.99/month entry plan costs less than our Pro plan, if 100 MB and a few builds a month are enough.
Many modpacks in parallel
Its Pro plan advertises unlimited instances on a single subscription.
