Vercel

Next.js host / serverless edge

Free tier + paidHosting, deploy & edgevercel.com

What it is

The company behind Next.js, turning a Git push into builds, a global CDN and Fluid compute functions. Hobby includes 100 GB transfer, 1M invocations and 4 Active CPU hours. Pro is $20 per seat with a $20 usage credit, 1 TB transfer and per-region compute rates.

Why it earns a slot

Zero-config Next.js: push to GitHub and get preview URLs, ISR, image optimization and analytics with no infra thinking. App Router features land here first and work without fighting adapters.

Know before you commit

Hobby forbids commercial use — wire up Stripe and you are out of terms. Pro now ships a default $200 on-demand budget with hard caps that pause projects; set it to your real ceiling on day one. Transfer overage near $0.15/GB is ~15x Cloudflare or Bunny.

Getting started
