About Netlify

Netlify is a website builders tool for getting a site online. In its own words: Create with AI or code, deploy instantly on production infrastructure. One platform to build and ship.

What the free plan gives you

Free tier with 100GB bandwidth/month. Taken from Netlify's own pricing page, the free plan includes deploy from AI, Git, or API; private by default until you publish; unlimited deploy previews; build with Agent Runners.

What it does

Netlify covers site navigation, help, actions, build fullstack apps, go live everywhere.

When you would pay

The free allowance is large enough to build on properly. Upgrade when you consistently hit the ceiling — not before, and not because a banner suggests it.

We list Netlify because the free plan was checked against its own pricing page, not because a vendor asked. If it has changed, tell us and we will re-check it.

The free plan in practice

What you can actually do on Netlify's free plan (Free tier with 100GB bandwidth/month), where it stops, and when it's worth paying.

What you can do free

  • Deploy from AI, Git, or API
  • Private by default until you publish
  • Unlimited deploy previews
  • Build with Agent Runners
  • Add Custom domains with SSL
  • Functions & AI models
  • Store structured data with Netlify Database
  • Store files & images with Blob storage

Where it stops

  • No major limitations beyond the plan's usage limits.

When to upgrade to a paid plan

Stay on the free plan while you're comfortably under the free plan's limit (Free tier with 100GB bandwidth/month). It's worth moving to a paid plan once you consistently bump into that ceiling, need to remove branding, or want features the free tier holds back.
