About Vercel

Vercel is the leading cloud platform for frontend developers, specializing in deployment and hosting of web applications with a focus on Next.js — the React framework Vercel created. Founded in 2015 as ZEIT and rebranded Vercel in 2020, the platform enables developers to deploy web applications from a Git push in seconds with zero configuration. Vercel's edge network automatically optimizes deployments with global CDN distribution, serverless functions, edge middleware, and image optimization. The platform integrates natively with GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket — creating preview deployments for every pull request so teams can review changes before merging. Vercel pioneered the modern developer workflow of preview URLs, enabling seamless collaboration between developers, designers, and stakeholders. The platform powers some of the web's largest properties including The Washington Post, HashiCorp, and Transformers. Vercel's Hobby plan is free for personal projects with unlimited deployments. Pro is $20/member/month with team collaboration, higher limits, and analytics. Enterprise pricing is custom. Vercel is particularly dominant for Next.js and React deployments, though it supports any framework.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Vercel free?

Vercel's Hobby plan is free for personal projects with unlimited deployments, preview URLs, serverless functions (100GB-hours/month), and 100GB bandwidth. Pro is $20/member/month for teams with higher limits, password-protected deployments, and team analytics. Enterprise pricing is custom with dedicated support and SLA.

Vercel vs Netlify: which is better?

Vercel is generally better for Next.js and React applications — as Next.js creators, Vercel has first-class support for all Next.js features including Server Components, ISR, and Edge Runtime. Netlify is better for sites using Gatsby, Hugo, or other static site generators and has stronger form handling and split testing features. Both are excellent for JAMstack deployments.

What frameworks does Vercel support?

Vercel supports all major web frameworks including Next.js (native), React, Vue, Svelte, Angular, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Gatsby, Remix, Astro, and static sites. While Vercel is optimized for Next.js, it uses an open build system that detects and configures any supported framework automatically.
