Ranked for that:\n\n**1. Cloudflare Pages / Workers** - the default I'd reach for. Unlimited bandwidth on every tier, including free, which kills the single biggest surprise-bill risk when a client's site gets traffic. For a 5-person team with ~10 sites, the realistic annual cost is around $240/yr versus $1,200-2,400 on Vercel and $2,500-4,000 on Netlify. Git integration, preview deploys, and a clean CLI.
