Cloudflare Pages** - my default for agency client sites. Static asset bandwidth is free and unmetered *even on the free tier*, which removes the single biggest surprise-invoice risk when a client's site gets featured somewhere. There's no per-seat \"Pages Pro\" tier at all; the paid layer is Workers Paid at ~$5/mo and only if you need serverless functions. You can run dozens of client sites at essentially zero hosting cost, and Cloudflare's registrar/DNS/WAF sit in the same account. Downside: build minutes are capped (500 builds/mo free) and the DX is a step behind the other two.

Netlify** - the best balance if your team needs real collaboration. Pro is a flat ~$20/mo covering unlimited team members rather than $20 *per seat*, wh", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
