Netlify Pro $19/user/mo vs Vercel Pro $20/user/mo. Nearly the same price — but very different limits on bandwidth, build minutes, and serverless functions. Here's how to pick the right one.
| Plan | Price | Bandwidth | Build Minutes | Serverless |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hobby (Free) | $0 | 100 GB/mo | 6,000/mo | 100K invocations/mo |
| Pro | $20/user/mo | 1 TB/mo | 6,000/mo | 1M invocations/mo |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom | Custom | Custom |
| Plan | Price | Bandwidth | Build Minutes | Serverless |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter (Free) | $0 | 100 GB/mo | 300/mo | 125K requests/mo |
| Pro | $19/user/mo | 400 GB/mo | 1,000/mo | 125K requests/mo |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom | Custom | Custom |
Prices above are base plan costs. Bandwidth, build minute overages, and add-ons may increase costs significantly at scale.
| Feature | Vercel Pro | Netlify Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Price (per user/mo) | $20 | $19 |
| Bandwidth (Pro) | 1 TB/mo | 400 GB/mo |
| Build minutes (Pro) | 6,000/mo | 1,000/mo |
| Serverless functions | 1M invocations/mo | 125K req/mo |

Next.js projects: Vercel built Next.js and deploys it natively — every feature (ISR, App Router, Server Components, Edge Runtime) works out of the box. On Netlify, some Next.js features require manual configuration or plugins that can break between updates.
Build minutes: Vercel Pro includes 6,000 build minutes vs Netlify's 1,000. If you have frequent deployments, CI/CD pipelines, or large monorepos, Vercel's build allowance is substantially larger.
Bandwidth: Vercel Pro includes 1TB vs Netlify's 400GB. High-traffic sites are cheaper to run on Vercel at the base plan level. Overage rates favor Vercel too ($0.15/GB vs $0.20/GB).
Edge network: Vercel's global edge network has consistently scored faster TTFB in third-party benchmarks, particularly for US and European users.
Free tier for commercial use: Netlify's Starter plan allows commercial projects — useful for agencies, freelancers, or startups testing ideas without paying. Vercel Hobby is non-commercial only.
Built-in forms: Netlify Forms handles form submissions without a backend — 100 submissions/month free, then $19/mo for 1,000. Vercel has no equivalent; you need a third-party form service.
Netlify Identity: Free built-in user authentication for up to 1,000 users. Useful for gated content, membership sites, or simple auth without configuring Auth0/Clerk.
Framework agnostic: Netlify works equally well with Gatsby, Hugo, Astro, SvelteKit, Nuxt, and Eleventy. Vercel is optimized for Next.js; other frameworks work fine but are not the primary focus.
Price: At $19/user vs $20/user, Netlify is marginally cheaper. For a 10-person team, that's $120/year — not a major decision factor but worth noting.
Choose Vercel if: You're building a Next.js app (especially with ISR, Server Components, or edge functions), you have high traffic/bandwidth needs, or you value the best possible Next.js DX.
Choose Netlify if: You need commercial use on the free tier, want built-in forms or identity management, are using a non-Next.js framework, or your team needs fewer build minutes and values Netlify's simpler mental model.
The $1/user/mo price difference is not a meaningful factor. Pick based on your framework and feature needs.
They are nearly identical. Netlify Pro is $19/user/month; Vercel Pro is $20/user/month. The $1 difference is negligible. Where costs diverge is at bandwidth overages (Netlify is $0.20/GB, Vercel is $0.15/GB) and build minutes (Vercel includes 6,000/mo vs Netlify's 1,000/mo on Pro).
Yes. Netlify's Starter plan allows commercial use with 100GB bandwidth and 300 build minutes per month. Vercel's Hobby plan is explicitly non-commercial — you must upgrade to Pro ($20/user/mo) for any commercial project.
Vercel. They created Next.js and every feature works natively. Netlify has improved Next.js support significantly but still requires plugins for some advanced features. For pure Next.js projects, Vercel eliminates configuration friction.
Yes. Netlify raised Pro from $15/user to $19/user in 2024 — a 27% increase. This was announced with limited notice. Vercel has kept Pro at $20/user but restructured team billing and removed some previously included features.
