Netlify

Web platform for deploying static sites and web apps with a global CDN, deploy previews and serverless functions.

Free tier

300 credits per month (hard cap); a production deploy costs 15 credits and 1 GB of bandwidth costs 20.

300 credits per month, hard limit (no rollover, no extra credits on Free)
15 credits per production deploy
20 credits per GB of bandwidth
2 credits per 10,000 web requests
10 credits per GB-hour of compute (functions)
0 credits to create Deploy Previews and branch deploys (their traffic still counts)
Form submissions are free
1 concurrent build
500 projects per team
1 team member (the Team Owner)

When the monthly credits run out, every project on the team is paused ("Site not available") until the next billing cycle; Free can't buy more credits.
20 production deploys use the whole 300-credit month; creating Deploy Previews and branch deploys costs 0 credits.
Teams created on or after 2026-07-28 default to private projects, which only the Team Owner can view until made public.
Free-plan projects created on or after 2026-08-19 show a "Powered by Netlify" badge to visitors; turn it off per project under Project configuration > General.
Accounts created before 2025-09-04 stay on legacy (non-credit) plans with different limits.
