Netlify

Fallback static host — free starter tier

Netlify

Role

Documented fallback only — Cloudflare Pages is the primary host per cloudflare-pages-for-all-sites. Netlify is reserved for the scenario where Cloudflare Pages, GitHub Pages, and Vercel were all unavailable.

Free tier

• 100 GB bandwidth / month
• 300 build minutes / month
• Unlimited deploys
• 1 concurrent build

Card / subscription required?

NO for the starter plan. Netlify does not require a payment method on file for starter.

Alternatives

• Cloudflare Pages, GitHub Pages, Vercel

Swap cost

Low — dist/ upload, netlify.toml for redirects.

Why fallback only

Build minutes are tighter than Vercel and bandwidth is finite vs Cloudflare’s unlimited.

Cross-refs

• Cloudflare Pages — primary
• Vercel
• Cloudflare Pages for all sites decision — why Netlify stays fallback-only
