fuush vs Netlify
Netlify is a serious platform for building and deploying web apps. fuush is for the other 80% of the time — when you just have a folder of files and want a URL, now, without a build step or a pipeline to babysit.
The one-sentence difference
Netlify builds your site from a connected git repo; fuush just serves the files you upload. If you don’t need a build — you already have index.html and assets — Netlify’s entire build/deploy/preview machinery is overhead you don’t use.
Side by side
| Netlify (free tier) | fuush | |
|---|---|---|
| How you deploy | Connect a git repo & configure a build, or drag-drop a folder | Upload a zip, use the CLI, or sync a GitHub repo |
| Build step | Build minutes metered (free pool, then paid) | None. What you upload is what serves |
| Account | Email or OAuth, team/org model | Email magic link — that’s the whole account |
| Commercial use | Allowed | Allowed |
| Custom domain + HTTPS | Yes | Yes, automatic |
| Bandwidth | Metered with a monthly cap; overage upsell | Reasonable use, no hard cap; we reach out before throttling |
| Serverless functions | Yes (a core feature) | No — static only, on purpose |
| Forms | Yes (metered) | Yes, built in |
| Lock-in | Build config, redirects, functions are Netlify-shaped | It’s a folder. Download it and go anywhere |
Free-tier limits change; check Netlify’s pricing page for current numbers. The structural differences above are the durable part.
Where fuush wins
- Zero build. No
netlify.toml, no build command, no waiting on a build queue. Drag a zip in, refresh, done. - No upsell. The fuush dashboard has no “upgrade” button because there’s no paid tier. Pricing is one word.
- Lighter mental model. No sites-vs-teams-vs-deploys hierarchy. One email, your sites, a URL each.
- Honest portability. Your content is the zip you uploaded. Leaving is a download, not a migration.
When Netlify is the better choice
If your site needs a build step you’d rather run on the host (Astro, Next, Hugo with plugins), serverless functions, deploy previews per pull request, split testing, or team collaboration features — use Netlify. That’s what it’s built for and it does it well. fuush deliberately doesn’t compete there. (You can still get a git workflow on fuush via GitHub sync — we just won’t run your build.)
