We received an email yesterday saying the "100% discount is expiring on June 14".

We're using them for deploy previews. Does anyone have recommendations on alternatives?

Netlify or Cloudflare perhaps. I would think most platforms could handle that by now. Both Cloudflare and Netlify work for me in that scenario.

    I'm on the DevRel team at Cloudflare. Definitely happy to help personally with anyone who needs help migrating. My email is in my profile.

    And we have an OSS sponsorship program: https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-new-oss-sponsorships-...

      I was really excited about Cloudflare Pages when it first launched, but back then it seemed a bit barebones compared to what Vercel was offering (in terms of the admin dashboard GUI, ease of managing previews, seeing logs and function runs, next/image optimizations integrations, ISR support, etc.). Like all of those things were possible on the Cloudflare system, but would've required manual setup across a few of your lower-level services, as opposed to a 1-click deploy on Vercel. (Which is understandable, since Next is their framework after all).

      Is it different (more integrated) these days? I'm a frequent customer of both Cloudflare and Vercel, but would love to see more fully-managed frontend services like Vercel.

If it's only for preview deployments, will the free plan suffice?

Otherwise it's only $20/team member (person who can git push and deploy)/mo, which is still very reasonable for the features they offer.

Otherwise you can set up your own Cloudflare Pages deploys instead, probably under their free plan, or $20/mo for their paid plan. It doesn't have the easy integrations that Vercel has, but you should be able to just set up a build webhook and have it publish a new deploy when you push.
