Frequently asked questions
What makes a Vercel bill jump unexpectedly?
Bandwidth overage. Pro includes about 1TB; past that you pay roughly $0.15/GB. Image-heavy or high-traffic sites blow through the allowance and the overage quietly outgrows the seat cost. Function invocations and image optimization can add more.
Is Vercel or Cloudflare cheaper?
For static and edge-heavy workloads Cloudflare is usually far cheaper because it charges no egress/bandwidth fees, while Vercel and Netlify meter bandwidth. Vercel wins on developer experience and Next.js integration; the trade-off is metered egress.
