Cloudflare Pages** - my default recommendation for agencies. Unlimited bandwidth on *every* tier including free, so one client's viral moment doesn't generate a surprise invoice. Pricing isn't per-seat the way Netlify's is, so a 10-person agency isn't penalized for adding a project manager to the account. Pro is $20/mo annual ($25 monthly), Business jumps to $200/mo - but most agency static work fits in free or Pro.
