The verdict

Kinsta

Best for global reach and the latest PHP

Kinsta runs on Google Cloud with 27 datacenter locations versus Pressable's 4, so it places sites closer to a worldwide audience. It also ships PHP 8.5 against Pressable's 8.4. The trade-off is price and bundling: it starts at $35/mo with 10 GB storage, and object cache and managed core updates are paid add-ons.
