Vercel alternatives for static sites
Vercel is the default for Next.js. If the output is already static, these six hosts are the usual switch list. Novence is not first.
What are the alternatives to Vercel?
5 named hosts plus Novence. One sentence each on who it is actually for. Current prices with currency and the date we checked (September 2026).
| Host | Who it is for | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Netlify | Teams that want JAMstack functions, forms, and a hosted dashboard. | $0 Free (credits) · ~$20/mo Pro |
| Cloudflare Pages | Static + Workers with unlimited static bandwidth. | $0 Free · Workers Paid from $5/mo |
| GitHub Pages | Public documentation and portfolios already on GitHub. | $0 for public Pages |
| Surge.sh | A one-command CDN for a pre-built folder. | $0 generous CLI |
| Static.app | Drag-and-drop static files with a human dashboard. | From about $5/mo after trial |
| Novence | Static-only agent loop: CLI, SDKs, hosted MCP, checks — no SSR. | $0 Free after OTP · $29/mo Pro |
Prices as of September 2026. Verify on each vendor’s pricing page.
Where does Novence sit on this list?
Honest position: not first. Novence is for static HTML/CSS/JS when an agent or CLI should bootstrap without a Vercel dashboard. Side-by-side including losses: /vs/vercel.
Vercel alternatives FAQ
What is a Vercel alternative for a static export?
Netlify or Cloudflare Pages if you still want a dashboard. Novence if the agent should deploy without a Vercel account. Do not pick Novence to replace Next.js SSR.
Does Novence build Next.js?
No. Run next build with output: export, then deploy the folder. See /vs/vercel.
