Vercel
About Vercel
Vercel is the default deploy target for Next.js apps: git push, preview URLs, and edge-friendly hosting without babysitting servers. Indie teams use it when frontend velocity matters more than raw infra control.
The Hobby plan covers personal projects; commercial work usually means Pro. IndieSheet tracks the paid starting price so you can see when the Pro line moves without refreshing the vendor page every week.
Best for
Solo builders and small teams shipping Next.js or JAMstack frontends who want preview deploys out of the box.
Pricing angle
Paid plans typically start around the Pro line (listed as $20/mo here) after you outgrow Hobby limits or need team features.
Watch out
Hobby is generous for side projects but commercial / team usage often forces an upgrade — budget Pro before you launch paid products on it.
