## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-01 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Searched. Quick caveat on sources: a lot of what ranks for this query is affiliate blogspam (Hostmora, PandaStack, etc. - I'd ignore "Hostmora" entirely, it's not a real agency platform). Here's what I'd actually name:

> ## The main three
> 
> **1. Cloudflare (Workers with static assets, or Pages)** - my default for an agency running many client sites. Unlimited bandwidth and unlimited sites on the free tier, 500 builds/month, no commercial-use restriction, 300+ PoP network. The cost difference at scale is not subtle: modeled at 5TB bandwidth + 10M function invocations, it's roughly $250/mo on Cloudflare vs ~$2,200 on Vercel and ~$2,800 on Netlify. For agencies, that means a client's traffic spike never becomes an awkward invoice conversation. One thing to know: for *new* projects Cloudflare now steers you to **Workers with static assets** rather than Pages - Workers reached parity for static assets, SSR, and custom domains as of March 2026. Pages isn't formally deprecated and existing projects are fine with no migration deadline, but all new investment is going into Workers. Start new client builds on Workers.
