Vercel vs Cloudflare Pages for a business website
What a business site costs on Vercel and on Cloudflare Pages, from your first visitor to 100,000 a month, with the plan each one needs.
Updated · prices from each provider's own page
Both host a website straight from GitHub. The difference that matters for a business is the free plan: Vercel's Hobby plan is for personal, non-commercial projects only, so a business site starts on Pro, which is priced per team member. Cloudflare Pages serves static files free with no bandwidth bill, and its free plan allows business use; you pay only when server functions outgrow the free daily allowance. Both stacks below use the same domain, so the difference is all hosting.
