The short version

  • Only Netlify has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Amp purchased credits expire 12 months after purchase and subscription usage expires monthly, and Enterprise workspaces are billed at a 50 percent markup over individual and team rates, as of August 2026.; Netlify the free tier is an individual account with 300 credits; team members require the Pro plan at $20 a month

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Amp

  • Purchased credits expire 12 months after purchase and subscription usage expires monthly, and Enterprise workspaces are billed at a 50 percent markup over individual and team rates, as of August 2026.

Netlify

  • The free tier is an individual account with 300 credits; team members require the Pro plan at $20 a month
  • Everything is metered in credits, so bandwidth at 20 credits per GB and production deploys at 15 credits each consume the allowance in ways a bandwidth figure alone would not show
  • Compute is billed at 10 credits per GB-hour, so server-rendered work costs more than static hosting
  • Running past the allowance means buying credit packs, at $5 for 500 on Personal and $10 for 1,500 on Pro
  • AI inference is priced by model rather than at a flat credit rate
