VibeDeploy vs Vercel
Vercel built the deploy experience most other platforms copy, with deep Next.js ties and a Pro plan starting at $20/month. VibeDeploy offers the same one-command deploy with EU-only hosting, flat pricing, and a workflow optimised for AI-generated sites.

Common questions
Is VibeDeploy a drop-in Vercel replacement?expand_more
For static and SPA sites, yes. A Next.js app that needs server-side rendering can run as a container next to the site through the MCP tool deploy_app, in one region in Belgium with no global edge; a static export stays the simplest route. If you rely on ISR, RSC streaming at the edge, Edge Functions or getting new Next.js features first, Vercel is purpose-built for that. Pick by site type.
What about pricing predictability?expand_more
Vercel's bills can grow with traffic: function invocations and image optimisation are metered, and bandwidth is billed per GB under on-demand CDN or through a Flat Rate CDN tier, the default for new Pro teams since September 2026. VibeDeploy plans are flat: bandwidth is included up to a generous cap per plan, with no per-request fees. If you go over, you upgrade plan; you don't get billed by the GB.
Why does EU hosting matter?expand_more
GDPR, data residency clauses in public-sector contracts, and sometimes just customer trust. Vercel routes globally with US-based core infrastructure. VibeDeploy serves only from Belgian data centres, so personal data of EU visitors stays in the EU.
Can I get EU hosting from Vercel directly?expand_more
Only partially. Vercel lets you pick a European region for serverless functions, on Hobby as well as on paid plans, but the company is US-based, so the DPA on its paid Pro and Enterprise plans is signed with a US company, and static assets still flow through its global CDN. VibeDeploy serves the entire site from Belgium under EU jurisdiction, with a DPA from a Belgian company on every paid plan.
Can I migrate from Vercel?expand_more
If your project builds to a static or SPA output, yes in under 10 minutes. Run npm run build, drag the output folder to VibeDeploy, point your domain, done. A Next.js app that needs its server takes a little longer: your AI runs it as a container next to the site with deploy_app.
