Flaash vs Vercel

Vercel is built for framework-based apps, Next.js especially, with Git-integrated builds, a preview deployment per branch, and a global edge network underneath it all. The Hobby tier is generous for personal, non-commercial projects, though usage-based pricing on paid tiers can spike if traffic grows past what you expected. That's serious infrastructure - just aimed at a different job than serving a folder of plain HTML.

Flaash vs Vercel at a glance

	Flaash	Vercel
Deploy method	Drag & drop folder/zip, or paste HTML	Git push triggers a framework-aware build
Setup required	None - open browser, upload	Connect Git provider, confirm build settings
Free tier	1 project, no card required	Generous Hobby tier for personal use
Custom domain	Not available - *.flaash.live only	Yes, with free SSL
SSL	On by default, immediately	Yes
Best for	A static folder with no build step	Framework apps needing builds, edge, previews

Where Flaash is simpler

There's no framework to detect, no build command to confirm, and no Git repository required just to hold files that don't need version control. You upload what you have - exactly what you upload is what gets served - and it's live on an HTTPS subdomain right away. Projects and variants cover staging versus production without a branch behind either one.

Where Vercel is the better choice

If your site is built with a framework, needs server-rendered pages or API routes, or you want a deploy to trigger automatically on git push and scale across Vercel's edge network, that's real infrastructure a plain upload host isn't trying to replace. Custom domains aren't available on Flaash right now, either - every project gets a flaash.live subdomain, so if a custom domain on day one matters, Vercel covers that where Flaash currently doesn't.

Frequently asked questions

Can I host a Next.js static export on Flaash? Yes, if it's a fully static export with no server-side rendering at runtime. Run the export locally, then upload the output folder.

Does Flaash have anything like Vercel's preview deployments? Not tied to Git branches, but a project's variants give you the same practical result - multiple live copies of a site, each with its own URL, without a build pipeline behind them.

Why would a static site need Vercel at all? Mostly for scale and edge features on high-traffic sites, or when the project's actually part of a larger framework app. For a self-contained static folder, that infrastructure is usually more than the job needs.
