Deno Deploy
Serverless hosting for JavaScript and TypeScript apps
Firebase Hosting
Google's CDN hosting for static and single-page web apps
Which one is for you
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
Pick Firebase Hosting if
- Fits if you ship a static site or single-page app and already use Firebase
- Works for small sites that stay under 360 MB of transfer a day
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you need a full-stack app, since that goes to a different product
- Tight if you get traffic: 360 MB a day on the free plan
- Skip it if you don't want a command line, as deploys use firebase deploy
- Watch out: going past Spark needs Blaze, which bills usage and needs a payment method, and the $300 credit is for eligible accounts
How we grade them
| 2.4GPADeno DeployFair | 2.4GPAFirebase HostingFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CPro is $20 a month, at the top of the ordinary range for web hosting. Builder is $200 a month, and requests past the allowance are $2 per million. | BFree up to the Spark limits, then $0.026 per GB stored and $0.15 per GB of transfer with no base fee. There's no fixed plan price to compare, so this is a judgement on small sites. |
| Free plan and trial | BThe free plan allows 1M requests a month, 20 GiB egress, 10 apps and 5 custom domains, which one person could live on. | BSpark needs no payment method: 10 GB storage, 360 MB a day of transfer, custom domain and SSL. Enough for a small site. |
| Features | CRuns JS and TS apps with KV and database links, observability and local tunnels. It covers only that runtime, and the service is being wound down. | CCDN, SSL, preview channels, rollbacks and GitHub Actions. The gap: it's for static and single-page apps, and full-stack apps go to App Hosting. |
| Ease of use | CYou write and deploy code, so it is for developers, and the listing shows no rating or no-code route. | DNo store rating on record. You deploy with the firebase command line and a config file. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb only, with database links and a few integrations on the listing. | BWeb only, with GitHub Actions, Cloud Functions, Cloud Run and Cloud Logging. |
| Best for | JavaScript and TypeScript apps, for now | static sites and single-page apps on Google's CDN |

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.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
