Which one is for you
Pick Netlify if
- Fits if you build sites with a front-end framework and push them to GitHub
- Works for teams whose reviewers need a preview link for every pull request
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a WordPress blog installed in one click, the way a shared host does it
- Tight if traffic spikes, as every GB of bandwidth costs 20 credits and an empty tank pauses the site
- Pricey if a few of you need to share, since more than one member means Pro at $20 a month
- Watch out: each production deploy costs 15 credits, and the free plan's 300 a month can't be exceeded
- Not for you if you need SSO, SCIM, an SLA or 24/7 support, which are Enterprise only, priced by sales
Pick Statichost if
- Fits if you want static-site hosting kept inside Europe
- Works for a single personal site within 10 GB of bandwidth
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if your site needs a server, since it only hosts static files
- Tight if you run more than one site, as Hobby stops at 1
- Watch out: the free plan has queued builds, and the performance CDN is Professional only
- Watch out: prices are in euros, and overage is 1 euro per 10 GB or per 100 build minutes
How we grade them
| 2.8GPANetlifyGood | 2.4GPAStatichostFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BGraded against its own alternatives, since it hosts sites built elsewhere: Personal is $9 a month with no intro price to expire, so the second year costs what the first did. That's under Cloudways' $11 and far under Kinsta's $30. Extra credits are $5 for 500, and a team needs Pro at $20. | CStarter is 9 euros a month, in the middle of web hosting at $10.99, with overage of 1 euro per 10 GB of bandwidth. Professional is 49 euros. |
| Free plan and trial | BFree plan: custom domains with SSL, functions, a database and unlimited deploy previews, with 300 credits a month. A small personal site fits. A busy one doesn't, and it pauses when the credits run out rather than billing you. | BThe Hobby plan is free with 1 site, 10 GB bandwidth and 100 build minutes, no trial period and no card. A personal site can live there. |
| Features | BAgainst its own alternatives it covers the whole job: deploys from Git, the command line, a folder or an AI agent, preview links with feedback, rollbacks, functions, Postgres, file storage, forms and user sign-ups. Just know it's for sites built in code. | CGit deploys, any static site generator, custom domains with HTTPS, webhooks, rollbacks and an API. It is static only, and preview links are coming soon. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. Dropping a folder in works, but most of it assumes you build sites in code and push them from Git, and credits are one more thing to keep an eye on. | CNo store rating on record. You connect a Git repository and a build setup. |
| Platforms and integrations | BA web dashboard with no app on record, plus a command-line tool. It hooks into GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Slack, and AI agents such as Claude, Codex, Gemini and Cursor can ship code through it. | BWeb only, but it works with any Git provider and generators such as Next.js, Astro, Hugo and SvelteKit. |
| Best for | hosting sites you build in code and push from Git | static sites hosted on European infrastructure |

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.
