Choose Temps if you...

  • You're building full-stack apps, not just static sites
  • You want predictable costs without bandwidth overages
  • You need built-in databases (PostgreSQL, Redis, S3)
  • You want error tracking and analytics included at no extra cost
  • You need to self-host for compliance (HIPAA, SOC2, GDPR)
  • You want transactional email built into your platform

Choose Netlify if you...

  • You're building purely static JAMstack sites
  • You want fully managed with zero server maintenance
  • You need Netlify's extensive integration ecosystem
  • You prefer their visual deploy configuration
  • You need their enterprise features and dedicated support

Migration from Netlify

The deployment config (netlify.toml → Temps config) migrates in minutes, and static sites are immediate. The extra effort comes from Netlify's platform-specific features: Netlify Functions need converting to standard Node.js server routes, Netlify Forms require a custom form handler, and Netlify Edge Functions (Deno-based) need rewriting as standard middleware. Plan a day or two for a typical full-featured Netlify project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Netlify pricing, free tier limits, and Next.js support in 2026.

What are Netlify's free tier limits in 2026?
Netlify's free plan in 2026 uses a credit-based model: you get 300 credits per month shared across all usage. Bandwidth costs 20 credits/GB (~15 GB total), production deploys cost 15 credits each (~20 deploys), and compute costs 10 credits/GB-hour. There is 1 concurrent build and 1 seat. When credits run out the plan does not auto-recharge — you must upgrade.
How much does Netlify Pro cost in 2026?
Netlify Pro costs $20 per organization per month in 2026 — not per seat. The Pro plan includes 3,000 credits per month (roughly 150 GB bandwidth or 200 production deploys). When credits run out, overages auto-recharge in packs of 1,500 credits for $10. Pro supports unlimited team members and 3+ concurrent builds.
What is Netlify's free tier bandwidth limit in 2026?
Netlify's free tier has no fixed GB bandwidth limit in 2026 — instead, bandwidth draws from a shared pool of 300 credits/month at a rate of 20 credits/GB. That works out to roughly 15 GB before credits are exhausted. On the Pro plan ($20/org/mo, 3,000 credits) the equivalent is ~150 GB; overages are ~$0.13/GB via credit packs.
What are Netlify's build minute limits on the free plan in 2026?
Netlify replaced build minutes with a credit-based compute system in 2026. Build compute costs 10 credits per GB-hour of runtime. The free plan's 300 credits cover a limited amount of build time — heavy build pipelines will exhaust credits quickly. Temps has no compute credits; builds run on your own infrastructure with no time or cost cap.
What are Netlify Functions free tier limits in 2026?
In Netlify's 2026 credit model, Functions (serverless compute) draw from the same credit pool as bandwidth and deploys: compute costs 10 credits/GB-hour and web requests cost 2 credits per 10,000. The free tier's 300 credits are shared across all of this. Edge Functions (Deno-based, 100+ locations) also consume credits. There are no separate per-invocation quotas — everything comes out of your monthly credit balance.
What are the limitations of Netlify's free plan in 2026?
Netlify's free plan in 2026 provides 300 shared credits per month — covering ~15 GB bandwidth, ~20 production deploys, or some mix of compute, web requests, and AI inference. Other limitations: 1 seat (no team access), 1 concurrent build, no private GitHub org repos, no shared environment variables, and no 30-day analytics. The Personal plan ($9/mo) adds 1,000 credits and priority support.
How does Netlify pricing compare to self-hosting in 2026?
Netlify offers Free (300 credits, ~15 GB bandwidth), Personal ($9/mo, 1,000 credits), and Pro ($20/org/mo, 3,000 credits with overage packs at $10/1,500 credits). Self-hosting Temps on a Hetzner VPS via Temps Cloud costs ~$6/month — with no credit meters, unlimited bandwidth, unlimited builds, managed PostgreSQL, and built-in analytics all included.
How does Netlify charge for bandwidth overages in 2026?
Netlify's credit model prices bandwidth at 20 credits per GB (~$0.13/GB). When your monthly credits are exhausted, the Pro plan auto-recharges in packs of 1,500 credits for $10 (~100 GB of bandwidth per pack). A site serving 500 GB/month on Pro would use all 3,000 included credits (~150 GB) and then need ~3.5 additional packs ($35), putting the total at ~$55/month — versus Temps Cloud at ~$30/month with no limits.
