Vercel combines frontend builds, preview deployments, a CDN, and server functions. It suits a web team that wants a preview for each Git change.
As of 2026-10, Hobby costs $0/month and includes 1 million CDN requests and 100 GB of Fast Data Transfer per month. Pro is $20/month with one deploy seat and a $20 infrastructure usage credit. The Flat Rate CDN and Pro docs list 1 million requests and 1 TB of transfer in the included tier; additional CDN tiers cost $20/$100/$300 per month.
Vercel’s own sources disagree on Pro’s included CDN requests: the pricing page showed 10M/month while the Flat Rate CDN and Pro plan docs say 1M (checked 2026-10-06). Confirm in the billing dashboard before committing. Hobby is personal and noncommercial; the demo shows its limit only.
When to use
Choose Vercel for previews and framework integration; compare Cloudflare Pages for static traffic and Netlify for credit-based billing.
