Advantages

Price, it’s $30/GB RAM vs Galaxy $60/GB RAM
Works on any AWS region
Github deployments
It has an api (in GraphQL) so you can make integrations
Its more customizable http://help.orion.hosting/how-it-works/how-to-create-a-custom-deployment-script
It works by creating VPS, not containers, so you have full access to the machines

Disadvantages

Doesn’t have support from the creators of Meteor
You have to pay a fixed $25 for a load balancer to enable SSL and scaling (still cheaper)
It’s a new product so you may have UX problems (it’s very unlikely that you have downtime with us, we’ve tested it for months and that’s our priority)
It doesn’t has support for teams yet
