  • They diverge on capability: Netlify covers Continuous deployment, Woven covers Smart scheduling.

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

Woven

  • The Internet Archive's capture of Woven's homepage on 30 December 2020 named specific features (Smart Templates, Scheduling Links, Availability Sharing, Group Polls) and confirmed integration with Google, G Suite and Office 365, but the linked Pricing page itself could not be retrieved from the archive.
