Vercel vs Netlify: free hosting plans compared
Deals checked 22 Oct 2026
Both have a free hosting plan. Vercel's Hobby plan includes 100 GB a month of data transfer and 1M function invocations, but it's for personal, non-commercial use only and has hard caps. Netlify's free plan has a 300 credit limit; a production deploy uses 15 credits and each GB of bandwidth uses 20. Vercel's US$20 credit comes only with its paid Pro plan.
