| Pricing | Not published — third-party source cites shared 256 MB instance at ~$0.0027/hour (~$1.94/month if always on) · free tier: Not published (no free allowance verified this session) | $9/month (Personal, 1,000 credits included) · free tier: Free forever at $0 with a hard 300-credit/month cap: deploys from AI, Git or API, unlimited deploy previews, Agent Runners, custom domains with SSL, Functions & AI models, Netlify Database, Blob storage, firewall traffic rules, global CDN, 1 concurrent build, no add-on credits |
| Pricing model | Usage-based | Credit-based (flat monthly fee plus metered credits) |
| Best for | Developer teams deploying containerised apps who want per-second consumption pricing and multi-region placement, and who are comfortable self-serving from documentation. | Small-to-midsize front-end and full-stack teams on modern JS frameworks that want Git-based deploys, deploy previews and zero infrastructure management, with modest or bursty bandwidth — the unlimited-members Pro plan is strong value for a 5–20 person team. |
| Avoid if | You need a contractual uptime SLA, hands-on support included in the base price, or a predictable fixed monthly invoice — all inferences from pricing structure, none confirmed by customer evidence. | You run high-bandwidth or media-heavy products (egress at 20 credits/GB is the cost driver), need many parallel builds ($40 per concurrent build scales badly against CI-inclusive rivals), require a firm published all-in monthly figure, or need HIPAA and private connectivity, which are Enterprise add-ons only. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
