Krane is a self-hosted PaaS. You bring your own server and install Krane on it to manage your containers in the form of deployments - The benefit, cost per deployment. A self-hosted solution allows you to own your server (cost-effective), and the benefit of any number of deployments at no extra cost. Maintaining and managing your own solution may sound complex, Krane tries to make the process straight-forward and cost-effective .

Krane isn't a replacement for Kubernetes, ECS, or any other container orchestration solution you might see running production applications, instead it's a tool you can leverage to make development of side-projects or small workloads cheap and straight forward. That was the main objective, a productive deployment tool for managing non-critical container workloads on remote servers.
