Netlify and Vercel are serverless deployment platforms for web applications, both designed to allow you to deploy as quickly and easily as possible...

It may be important to note the differences when it comes to eCommerce:
Vercel: It’s against Vercel’s TOS to run a commercial app on the free tier. Even though you technically could, they will shut down your site if caught in violation. So you need to go with the $20/mo Pro plan to do commerce on Vercel.
Netlify: Even though the free tier is labeled as “for hobby and experiments”, they allow commercial use of it, such as for eCommerce sites. The only restriction they impose in the TOS is that the content must not break US law.
So it’s free to do commerce on Netlify.
Hi,
I was going to host a personal portfolio, a website with free games I create, and a website with free apps & code libraries that I make. All of this is free so would this count as commercial? I would love to keep hosting on vercel (none of this is deployed yet, other experiments are) but if this counts as commercial (it shouldn't because I'm not getting any money), I will switch to netlify.
Thanks!
That's not commercial use so you should be fine
Ok thanks!
This is what I came here for, thanks!
this is the reason why i am planning on switching to vercel
Thanks a lot!
I think there might be a typo in this section where "Vercel" is mentioned twice:
Build
Vercel is ahead here, with a soft limit of 100 build hours / month for free and 400 with the Pro plan ($20/month per member) compared to Vercel's 300 build minutes / month free and then $7/500 minutes.
And I think the correction is still wrong. Here Netlify is the clear winner
Why, exactly? 100 hours seems pretty clearly better than 5 hours. The paid plan works out to $0.07/hr of extra time (even if the only thing you use it for is that) compared to Netlify's $0.84/hr.
Obviously it's somewhat unclear what happens after hitting 400hrs but almost nobody needs that much and I would be pretty surprised if Vercel charged more than $0.84/hr on the Enterprise plan.
OK, I was a victim of the units. I thought both were being measured in minutes, so I thought it was 100 vs 300
I am doing SSR on Netlify. I'm doing an NX mono repo with react and remix. Did it on Vercel too. Netlify was a much more pleasant experience.
you forgot to mention Netlify CMS
You can use Netlify CMS without Netlify
Still, best to use it with Netlify for client work and swap over to git-gateway ,so they don't need a GitHub account
Thanks. Here's a side by side comparison of features and pricing of Vercel VS Netlify
Helpful comparison, thank you.
What of pages.cloudflare.com/
If I were to update this, I would definitely include CF Pages. The only thing it lacks is easy serverless function integration, but it's definitely the way to go for static sites and sites with massive bandwidth requirements.
Saving bandwidth is easy with Cloudflare as CDN.
Setup a domain and then
For netlifly, => apex-loadbalancer.netlify.com and a WWW CNAME for the domain
For vercel => cname.vercel-dns.com and A RECORD 76.76.21.21 and a
And enjoy the best of all 3 worlds
Yeah sure. Concerning Serverless, I think it uses cloudflare workers
Super insightful. Exactly what I needed. Thank you!
Vercel is ahead on build? The data don't support that, do they?
Thank you for this. Seems like the move is having both for the things they are each strong for. Netlify for static/client side with CMS/Forms needs, Vercel for back end needs.
thanks a lot 👍
