Which one is for you
Pick Cloudflare Pages if
- Fits if you run static sites or front-end apps and want no bandwidth bill
- Works for people already using Cloudflare DNS and Workers
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a dynamic app on the free allowance, since Functions run on Workers billing
- Tight if you push often: 500 builds a month, one at a time, with a 20-minute build limit
- Not for you if a single file is over 25 MiB
- Watch out: Cloudflare recommends Workers for new projects, so Pages may not be where the work goes
Pick Deno Deploy if
- Fits if you already write Deno or TypeScript and want a small app live
- Works for experiments you can move later
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a home for something long-lived: the pricing page says Deno Deploy will be sunset in April 2027
- Watch out: Deno announced on 9 October 2026 that its team is joining Cloudflare, and Deploy runs six months before shutting down
- Not for you if you do not write JavaScript or TypeScript, as it hosts nothing else
- Tight if you stay free and need email support, which starts on Pro at $20 a month

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
