The honest half
Where it falls short
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about 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

Softwr does not host reviews and shows no star rating for Netlify, because a rating we did not collect is not ours to publish. What is here is the pricing and platform detail from the vendor’s own pages, limitations we could state concretely, and alternatives a reviewer confirmed people weigh against it.
