fuush vs Vercel
Vercel is the home of Next.js and a powerhouse for full-stack React apps. fuush is for plain static sites — and unlike Vercel’s free tier, you can run a commercial one on us without paying.
The one-sentence difference
Vercel’s free Hobby plan is for non-commercial use; fuush is free for any use. If you’re shipping a landing page for a product, a client microsite, or anything that makes money, Vercel expects you on a paid plan. fuush doesn’t draw that line.
Side by side
| Vercel (Hobby/free) | fuush | |
|---|---|---|
| Commercial use on free tier | Not permitted (Hobby is non-commercial) | Permitted |
| How you deploy | Connect git; build runs on every push | Upload a zip, use the CLI, or sync a GitHub repo |
| Build step | Always builds (great for Next; overhead for plain HTML) | None |
| Framework pull | Strongly Next.js-optimised | Framework-agnostic — it’s just files |
| Account | Email or OAuth; team model | Email magic link |
| Custom domain + HTTPS | Yes | Yes, automatic |
| Serverless / edge functions | Yes (a core feature) | No — static only |
| Lock-in | Best value realised inside the Vercel/Next ecosystem | A folder you can download and host anywhere |
Vercel’s plan terms change; confirm the current Hobby licence on their site. The commercial-use distinction has held for a long time and is the one that catches people out.
Where fuush wins
- Commercial sites, free. No need to upgrade to Pro just because your static page belongs to a business.
- No build to configure or pay for. If your output is already static, skip the build entirely.
- No framework gravity. Hand-written HTML, an Eleventy dump, a Figma export — all first-class. Nothing is “the wrong framework” here.
- One-link account. No org, no project settings sprawl.
When Vercel is the better choice
Building a Next.js app, anything needing server-side rendering, edge/serverless functions, preview deployments, or first-class React tooling? Use Vercel — it’s best-in-class for that, and fuush doesn’t try to be. fuush is the right tool when the thing you’re deploying is genuinely static.
