I’m happily using CloudFlare pages. The reason I haven’t tried Netlify is that after the free tier everything seems a little overpriced. I didn’t go for Vercel because I don’t want to use Next.js and I’m afraid I’ll run across some limitation because of this. I was already using Cloudflare as a CDN for S3 and GitHub pages, and their offerings seem to be growing quickly and wanting to compete with Amazon rather than the static hosting companies.

Vercel is pretty good as a generic static hosting. I run a handful of next.js, solid.js or vanilla html websites.

Can't think of anything next.js specific you miss out on, you can just configure anything in a vercel.json file.

All of the Vercel platform features you can use in Next.js (or other frameworks) are also available through the Build Output API for frameworks to target. This is what frameworks like SvelteKit, Nuxt, Solid, etc use on Vercel.

If you don't want to deal with any of that but like MDX (think Markdown with the option of JavaScript), I believe motif.land publishes your MDX sites with Vercel.
