Netlify free tier and limits
Static and serverless hosting with deploy previews, functions, forms and a CDN. Popular for Vite/React SPAs exported from AI builders.
What the free plan gives you
- Free plan: $0 forever with a 300-credit monthly limit
- Custom domains with SSL, unlimited deploy previews, global CDN
- Credit costs: 15 credits per production deploy, 20 credits per GB of bandwidth
Best for
Static sites and SPAs that deploy a few times a week.
Watch out
Every production deploy spends 15 credits, so 20 deploys alone would use the whole free allowance. Batch your changes.
