| 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) | Pro: $20/month per additional paid seat (1 paid seat included); base headline price not verified from the vendor pricing page this session · free tier: Hobby plan with published allowances (4 hours Active CPU, 360 GB-hrs Provisioned Memory, 1M function invocations, 5K image transformations, 50K analytics events, 50K microfrontend routing requests); secondary sources state it is free and restricted to personal, non-commercial use, with no on-demand overage |
| Pricing model | Usage-based | Usage-based with per-seat subscription and fixed monthly add-ons |
| 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. | Next.js or React teams of 1–10 developers who prize preview deployments and shipping speed over per-unit infrastructure cost, with moderate, reasonably predictable traffic and tolerance for a variable monthly bill. |
| 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 are running a commercial project on the free Hobby tier, are cost-sensitive with heavy bandwidth/image/ISR workloads, need SSO or HIPAA without Enterprise, require guaranteed responsive human support below Enterprise, or need long-running processes, containers or non-JS runtimes. |

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.
