## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-23 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## Short answer
> 
> **Cloudflare Pages/Workers** if cost and traffic scale matter, **Netlify** if you want the best agency workflow ergonomics, **Vercel** only if you're deep in Next.js.
> 
> ## The ones I'd actually name, in order
> 
> **1. Cloudflare Pages (now converging into Workers Static Assets)**
> Unlimited bandwidth on every tier, including free - this is the one thing no competitor matches, and it's the thing that bites agencies. A client site that gets a press hit costs you nothing. Free tier is 500 builds/month; the $5/mo Workers Paid plan covers edge compute for basically your whole client roster rather than per-site. Reported cost at 1TB/mo: ~$5 vs. $200-600 on the others once overages hit. Tradeoffs: rougher DX, uneven framework support, and Cloudflare is steering new projects toward Workers rather than Pages, so expect some migration churn.
> 
> **2. Netlify**
> The best *agency* fit if you're not optimizing purely for cost. Pro is ~$19-20/mo flat for **unlimited team members**, versus Vercel's $20 *per seat* - that difference compounds fast with contractors and client collaborators. Built-in forms, identity, and scheduled functions mean you're not standing up a backend for the averag
