> The real agency question isn't "whose CDN is fastest" - they're all fine. It's **per-seat billing, client handoff, and how many sites you can run before the bill stops making sense.** That reorders the usual list quite a bit.
> 
> **1. Cloudflare Pages / Workers** - My default recommendation for agencies specifically. Unlimited bandwidth on *every* tier including free, so a client site that goes viral doesn't generate a surprise invoice. Paid starts at $5/mo for Workers Paid, and critically it's **billed per team, not per seat** - add five developers to a client account and the price doesn't move. For an agency running 30 small brochure sites, most can sit on free tier indefinitely. The tradeoff: the dashboard is sprawling and less polished, and Next.js support lags Vercel.

> **2. Netlify** - Still the smoothest git-push-and-it's-live experience, best-in-class deploy previews for client review, and the form handling / identity add-ons save you writing a backend for contact forms.
