Netlify

What it is

Netlify deploys sites and web apps from Git, an API or AI tools, with unlimited deploy previews, custom domains with SSL, serverless and edge functions, Blob storage, a database, forms and a global CDN. Next.js runs through Netlify's open-source OpenNext adapter, which supports the App Router, server-side rendering, Incremental Static Regeneration with on-demand revalidation, Server Actions, streaming and middleware (run as Edge Functions, with some limits for Node.js middleware). Billing is in credits: a production deploy costs 15 credits, bandwidth 20 credits per GB, compute 10 credits per GB-hour and web requests 2 credits per 10,000. Free is $0 with 300 credits a month and is a hard limit: when credits run out, every project pauses until the next cycle. Personal is $9 a month with 1,000 credits, and Pro is $20 a month with unlimited members and 3,000 credits (tiers up to 20,000). Auto recharge adds 500 credits for $5 on Personal or 1,500 for $10 on Pro. Checked on netlify.com November 13, 2026.

Best for

• Teams moving a Next.js, Astro or SvelteKit site off Vercel with the least change
• Small teams that want one flat plan instead of per-seat pricing
• Marketing sites and content sites with deploy previews

What we like

• Full Next.js support, including ISR and on-demand revalidation, through an open-source adapter
• Pro is $20 a month with unlimited team members
• Unlimited deploy previews on every plan, plus built-in forms, functions and storage

What to watch

• Credits cover deploys too: 15 credits per production deploy, so 20 deploys use a whole free month
• Free plan is a hard cap: projects pause when the 300 credits run out
• Bandwidth at 20 credits per GB makes traffic spikes expensive compared with Cloudflare
• Next.js middleware runs as Edge Functions, with limits for Node.js middleware
