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.

When Vercel is the better pick
- arrow_forwardHeavy Next.js apps with ISR, RSC, server actions, and Edge functions
- arrow_forwardTeams already on Vercel's ecosystem (KV, Postgres, Blob, AI SDK)
- arrow_forwardWhen the latest Next.js feature is non-negotiable (Vercel ships first)
When VibeDeploy wins
- check_circleEU-only data residency required (GDPR, public-sector contracts)
- check_circleFlat pricing required (no usage-metered billing surprises)
- check_circleStatic and SPA sites where Vercel's compute features are unused but you'd pay for them anyway
- check_circleAI-generated sites that fit a deploy-from-LLM workflow (Lovable, Bolt, v0, Claude artifacts)
- check_circleSolo / small teams who don't need per-seat pricing
Common questions
Is VibeDeploy a drop-in Vercel replacement?expand_more
For static and SPA sites, yes. For full-stack Next.js apps using ISR, RSC streaming, server actions, or Edge runtime, Vercel is purpose-built for that and we don't compete there. Pick by site type.
What about pricing predictability?expand_more
Vercel's bills can spike when traffic spikes (bandwidth, image optimisation, function invocations are all metered). 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 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.
