## The answer, as recorded

> ## What I'd actually use, in order
> 
> **1. Cloudflare Pages / Workers** - My default recommendation for agencies. Unlimited, unmetered bandwidth on every tier including free, and no egress fees. That's the thing that matters most when you're hosting 30 client marketing sites where one occasionally gets a traffic spike or goes semi-viral - you never get a surprise bill or have to call a client about overages. Free tier gives 500 builds/month, Pro is $20/mo for 5,000. The tradeoff: the DX and build pipeline are a bit rougher than Netlify/Vercel, and framework support outside Next.js-on-Workers can need fiddling.

As of their April 2026 pricing change, Pro is a **flat $20/month with unlimited team members** - no more per-seat charges, which used to be the killer for agencies with contractors, designers, and client reviewers who all need dashboard access. It also bundles forms, id
