Frequently asked
Is Vercel faster than Netlify?+
For Next.js apps Vercel usually edges ahead thanks to native ISR and streaming; for plain static sites the difference is negligible.
Which has the better free tier?+
Netlify's free tier is more forgiving on bandwidth and build minutes, while Vercel's is tuned for hobby Next.js projects.
Can I move from Netlify to Vercel easily?+
Yes — both read from your git repo, so migration is mostly re-pointing the build and copying environment variables.
