Netlify

What it is for

Netlify is a hosted deploy-log desk: you open a failed deploy, and Free is $0 / month. Use it when the job is builds you inspect at $0, not when you need a $20 chat seat.

What makes it unique: the cover is the official Netlify Deploy log (Deploy failed for Acme Website, Production main@aa99461, Why did it fail?, package.json "type": "module") from the docs still — not a pricing card. The log itself is ops of Deploy log. Netlify bills $0 or $9 / $20 credit tiles, not a chat seat.

Key features

• Deploy log — a build you retry, lock, or diagnose (cover still; docs). One desk. Cover Acme Website and aa99461 sit here.
• Deploys — a versioned publish you filter (docs). A list, not one log. Lock / unlock sit here.
• Functions — a serverless function you ship with the deploy (docs). A function, not a deploy row. Invocations sit here.
• Forms — a form submission you collect (docs). A form, not a function. Unlimited submissions on credit plans sit here.
• Domains — a hostname you attach (docs). A domain, not a form. Custom SSL sits here.

The Why did it fail? panel on the cover is a composer (not a sixth desk). Free / Personal / Pro tiles are the meter. Credits (300 / 1,000 / 3,000) are the extra meter, not a desk we fold into Deploy log.

Who it's for

Best fit: frontend teams who will stay on Free at $0 (300 credits / month, hard limit) while they open a first Deploy log, then buy Personal at $9 / month (1,000 credits) or Pro at $20 / month (3,000 credits, unlimited members).

Pricing

Verified 2026-10-23 (Asia/Shanghai) from netlify.com/pricing. Tiles print Free $0, Personal $9, and Pro $20. Docs print Free 300 credits (hard limit), Personal 1,000, Pro starting at 3,000.

• Free — $0 / month. Individual. 300 credits / month hard limit. No auto-recharge. Deploy from Git / API. Custom domains with SSL. Functions, Database, Blob, global CDN.
• Personal — $9 / month. Individual. 1,000 credits. Auto-recharge 500 credits for $5. 1-day observability. Priority email support.
• Pro — $20 / month for 3,000 credits, unlimited members. Higher tiers $33 / 5,000, $63 / 10,000, $95 / 15,000, $126 / 20,000 (rollover from 5,000). Auto-recharge 1,500 credits for $10.
• Enterprise — custom. 99.99% SLA, SSO / SCIM.

Confirm checkout; taxes follow your location. Legacy plans (pre-2025-09-04) stay on the old meter unless you switch.

Limitations / costs

• Free is a 300-credit hard cap. Crossing that is the $9 Personal tile (or wait for the next month).
• $20 Pro is 3,000 credits, not unlimited deploys. A production deploy costs 15 credits on the table we fetched.
• A deploy-log desk, not a Vercel Resources tab. For Vercel see Vercel. For Render see Render.

Alternatives

• Vercel — Next.js Resources when you want Vercel’s $0 / $20 function list, not Netlify’s $0 / $20 Deploy log.
• Render — web services + Postgres when you want Render’s $0 / $25 desk, not Netlify’s Acme failed build.
• Railway — usage-metered PaaS when you want Railway’s $5 / $20 min, not Netlify’s credit pack.
