Is Netlify's Free the best deal?

Hosting · $0/mo

Best in class

Netlify's free tier is genuinely hard to beat for static sites and JAMstack projects. While credit-based billing can add costs as you scale, there are no comparable free alternatives with custom domains, SSL, serverless functions, and preview deployments included. You're getting enterprise-grade features at zero entry cost.

Before you switch

Monitor your monthly credit usage closely - builds, bandwidth overage, and function invocations all consume credits beyond the 300/mo allotment
If you exceed credits regularly, compare paid tiers ($19+/mo) against Vercel Free or GitHub Pages + Cloudflare for your actual workload
Serverless function limits and cold-start behavior may matter for performance-critical apps
Bandwidth caps are soft (credit-based) rather than hard limits, so costs can surprise if traffic spikes
