Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
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
CloudAMQP
- Free shared RabbitMQ plan caps at 1 million messages per month and 20 connections, per cloudamqp.com/plans.html (Aug 2026); the next tier at $19/month raises the cap to only 10 million messages
- Dedicated plans span $50 to $17,495 per month depending on throughput tier, per cloudamqp.com, so production-grade throughput above 500 msg/s requires the paid dedicated tiers rather than the shared plan
