Free Netlify alternative
You're tired of Netlify's pricing creep and limited free tier—but the moment you search for alternatives, you hit a wall of confusing options. Here's the truth: there's a real gap between what free Netlify users actually need and what existing alternatives deliver.

Key insight: The market isn't undersaturated—it's oversaturated with 'Netlify alternatives' that solve the wrong problem; the real win is becoming the first platform that's genuinely free *and* doesn't require a credit card or bandwidth limits to stay that way.
Market Overview
The free static hosting + CI/CD space has roughly 15-25 semi-viable alternatives (Vercel, GitHub Pages, Render, Railway, Fly.io, Cloudflare Pages, etc.), but most are either generalist platforms or have their own trade-offs that keep Netlify dominant. The common failure pattern is that alternatives either kill their free tier after gaining traction, introduce hidden costs at scale, or lack the DevX polish that makes deploying painless. The real gap isn't in hosting itself—it's in the experience layer: seamless Git integration, instant previews, edge functions, and transparent pricing that doesn't bait-and-switch. What a vibecoder should focus on is nailing one specific use case (e.g., Next.js apps under 100MB, or pure static sites with zero build complexity) and pricing that's actually free—not a "free tier that expires." The opportunity isn't competing on feature parity; it's competing on trust and simplicity.
