Vercel Alternative

The Vercel alternative for plain static websites

Vercel is a frontend cloud built around Git deploys, serverless functions, and metered usage. If your project is just a static website, you don't need any of that. Drag a ZIP or HTML onto Static.app: flat pricing, commercial use allowed, and forms, analytics, and custom domains with free SSL all included.

  • Built for static, not serverless

    A plain static website does not need Vercel's build machinery, edge functions, or framework pipeline. Static.app is purpose-built for exactly that: drag a ZIP or HTML and you're live, with no Git and no configuration.

  • Commercial use on every tier

    Vercel's free Hobby plan is personal, non-commercial use only, so a business website, monetized blog, or client project needs a paid plan. Static.app's free tier and $6/mo Starter are fine for real, commercial websites.

  • Flat pricing, no overages

    Vercel meters bandwidth, edge requests, and function calls, so a traffic spike can mean a surprise bill. Static.app is a fixed monthly fee with forms, analytics, QR codes, and an in-browser editor included.

How to move from Vercel

  • 1

    Run your static export or build, the same output Vercel would deploy (for example out/ or dist/). Plain HTML is already ready.

  • 2

    ZIP the files with index.html at the root of the archive, not nested inside a subfolder.

  • 3

    Drag the ZIP onto static.app. Your website is live with a custom domain and free SSL. Use Static Sync for automatic updates.

Everything a static website needs

  • Free SSL on every website

    HTTPS is automatic on every website and custom domain.

  • Built-in analytics

    Track visitors without installing scripts or paying for an analytics add-on. Cookie-free and privacy-friendly.

  • Built-in forms

    Contact and lead forms work out of the box, with no serverless function to write and no third-party service.

Vercel Alternative FAQ

Is Vercel free?

Vercel's Hobby plan is free, but it is restricted to personal, non-commercial use under Vercel's fair-use guidelines. A business website, monetized blog, client work, or anything generating revenue requires a paid plan (Pro from $20/mo). Static.app's free tier and $6/mo Starter both allow commercial use.

Do I need Vercel for a static website?

If your project just exports static files, no. Vercel's value is its serverless functions, edge runtime, and Next.js pipeline. For a plain static website, Static.app is simpler: drag the build output as a ZIP and it's live, with no Git, no build configuration, and nothing metered.

How does Vercel pricing work?

Vercel Pro starts at $20/mo (a platform fee that includes one seat and a usage allowance); beyond the included allowances, bandwidth, edge requests, and function invocations are billed as metered overages. That makes a traffic spike unpredictable. Static.app charges a flat $6/mo for 2 websites with no usage meter.

Does Vercel handle forms and analytics?

Vercel has no built-in form handling, so you would write a serverless function or use a third-party service; its web analytics is free within limits, but the data window is just 1 month on the free Hobby tier (12 months on Pro; 24 with the paid Web Analytics Plus add-on). Static.app includes forms and privacy-friendly analytics out of the box, plus QR codes and an in-browser editor.

Do I need Git to deploy?

On Vercel you deploy with a Git connection or the Vercel CLI. Static.app needs neither: drag a ZIP or HTML in the browser, or point the Static Sync desktop app at a local folder for automatic updates.

Will my custom domain and SSL work?

Yes. Custom domains with free SSL are included on Static.app. Connect your domain from the dashboard and HTTPS is issued automatically.
