Where you host your Next.js app impacts cost, performance, and DX.

Vercel

  • $20/month Pro plan covers most projects
  • Zero-config deployments
  • Edge network for global performance
  • Built by the Next.js team

AWS

  • Pay-per-use pricing can be cheaper or more expensive
  • Full control over infrastructure
  • Required for HIPAA/SOC2 compliance
  • Steeper learning curve

Our Recommendation

Use Vercel unless you have specific compliance or infrastructure requirements.
