Cloudflare (Workers with Static Assets, or Pages)\n**The default for agency work.** Static asset serving is free and unlimited with no egress/bandwidth fees, so a client site that goes viral doesn't generate a surprise invoice. At scale the gap is dramatic - a workload costing $300+/month on Vercel can run $30-60 on Cloudflare, because your cost grows with compute complexity, not traffic.\n\nImportant 2026 detail: **start new projects on Workers, not Pages.** Cloudflare now positions Workers + Static Assets as the successor to Pages, and that's where active development is going. Pages is still fully supported, so leave existing happy deployments alone.\n\nBonus for agencies: you're already going to put clients' DNS/WAF/caching on Cloudflare, so hosting there means one vendor per client instead of three.\n\n## 2. Netlify\n**Best developer experience and the smoothest client handoff.** Deploy previews, form handling, identity, and split testing work out of the box with near-zero config, which matters when a junior dev is shipping a brochure site on Friday. Pro is $19/user/month. The per-seat model is the catch - see the caveat b", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
