Netlify

All-in-one platform for web projects with serverless functions, forms, and identity

Visit Website Free tier, Pro from $19/mo

Netlify pioneered the git-push deployment workflow and still does it well. Connect your repo, push code, get a live site. The built-in extras — form submissions, identity/auth, serverless functions — mean you can build a surprisingly complete app without bolting on extra services.

The free tier is solid for getting started, but watch the bandwidth and build minutes. A content-heavy site with images can blow through 100GB in a busy month. If you are building a static site or Jamstack app and want everything in one place, Netlify is a reliable choice. If unlimited bandwidth matters more, check Cloudflare Pages.

What's good

  • Git-push deploys with preview URLs for every branch
  • Built-in form handling and auth — no third-party services needed for basics
  • Strong community with lots of templates, plugins, and tutorials

Watch out for

  • 100GB bandwidth limit on free tier — can run out with moderate traffic
  • 300 build minutes/month on free tier get eaten up by large sites
  • Pricing jump from free to $19/mo is steep for the features you get
