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

Skedda

  • Pricing is per space with a bundled minimum, so the entry Starter plan is $99 per month for 15 spaces whether or not you use them
  • All published plans are quoted billed annually, with no monthly rate shown
  • The rules and roles engine is basic on Starter and limited on Plus; the full engine requires Premier
  • The insights dashboard is limited on the Starter plan
  • Assigned spaces and unlimited custom fields require the Premier plan
  • A dedicated account manager, legal agreement flexibility and white glove implementation are Enterprise only, and Enterprise carries no published price
  • Every plan, including the cheapest, routes through Talk to Sales rather than self-serve checkout
