## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-03 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's how I'd rank them for agency use - the thing that matters most for an agency isn't raw speed, it's per-seat pricing, bandwidth overage exposure on client sites, and how cleanly you can hand a site off to a client later.
> 
> **1. Cloudflare Pages / Workers - my default recommendation for agencies.** Unlimited bandwidth on *every* tier, including free. This is the single biggest deal for an agency, because you're never the one holding the bag when a client's site gets a traffic spike or a Hacker News hug. The comparison data puts a 5TB/month site at ~$250 on Cloudflare vs ~$2,200 on Vercel and ~$2,800 on Netlify. You can host most small-business client sites on the free tier indefinitely and only pay $5/mo for Workers when you need dynamic bits. Downside: the dashboard is engineer-oriented, DX is a notch below the other two, and clients find Cloudflare's UI confusing if you ever hand over the account. ([Cloudflare vs others pricing](https://www.devtoolreviews.com/reviews/vercel-vs-netlify-vs-cloudflare-pages-pricing-comparison-2026), [cost scenarios](https://coderfile.io/blog/vercel-vs-netlify-vs-cloudflare-2026))
> 
> **2. Netlify - best if client review workflow is your bottleneck.
