Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Azure Functions
- Consumption plan free grant is capped at 1 million executions and 400,000 GB-seconds of resource consumption per month per subscription, billed per GB-second beyond that
- The newer Flex Consumption plan's free grant is smaller still, at 250,000 executions and 100,000 GB-seconds per month
- Premium plan avoids per-execution charges but bills continuously for allocated core seconds and memory regardless of invocation volume
- Memory is rounded up to the nearest 128 MB and execution time to the nearest 1 ms for billing, so small overages round upward
Carrd
- Free tier strictly limited to 3 sites; any additional sites require upgrading to Pro
- Pro plan includes Carrd branding removal but still lacks advanced features (e-commerce, multi-step funnels, complex forms)
- Single-page design only; does not support multi-page websites or complex site structures
- Limited template library compared to competitors like Leadpages or Unbounce
- Annual payment required for Pro tier; no monthly payment option
- No native A/B testing, analytics dashboard or conversion optimisation tools built-in
