Founder here: the advantages over FTP based approach are - no need to install extract tools and deployments are atomic, so you can rollback instantaneously.

Settings up Cloudflare or AWS CloudFront + S3 is easy for users who all familiar with technologies. What I have seen is, there are many web designers out there who design awesome websites but lacks technical knowledge. My brother was like that, he designs websites but I was the one who was helping him to host and write PHP scripts for handling form submissions etc... that's one reason I built a service like this.

Thank you for the suggestion on pricing, I'll consider it and update it accordingly.

Update:

Image lazy loading enabled when website optimization settings is set to "Full"

You should calculate everything and move your prices up as you have unlimited bandwidth. I have few static websites, but smallest one generates on avg. 400gb monthly transfer(plain website with main content), adding to this image optimisation(sizes, etc) and few other options totalling nearly 1TB+ a month.

So for me $15 looks nice, but you would loose a huge amount of money on clients like me. You can't expect that static website will weight 1MB and eat 1GB of bandwidth a month. :)

This is why Cloudflare has image optimisation in Business plan, or Imgix which is pricey. :)

Thank you, that's a good point. I'll change unlimited bandwidth in the business plan to limited.
