Coolify

Pros

Completely self-hosted on your own VPS — you pay $5/mo for a Hetzner server instead of Vercel's $20/mo for the same capability+178
Supports deploying Docker containers, static sites, databases, and any Nixpacks-compatible framework with a single UI+154
Automatic SSL certificate management with Let's Encrypt means you don't need to configure Nginx or Certbot manually+131
One-click deployment for popular open source tools like Plausible, Gitea, and n8n saves hours of server configuration+118

Cons

Being self-hosted means you're responsible for server maintenance, uptime, and security patching — it's not hands-off like managed platforms

Cloudflare Pages

Pros

The free tier is extremely generous — unlimited bandwidth and requests with no bandwidth billing at all+174
Cloudflare Workers integration means your edge functions run in 200+ locations globally with true sub-50ms latency+158
Static asset serving is consistently the fastest I've benchmarked — Cloudflare's network is built for performance at the edge+143
No cold starts for Workers functions because Cloudflare's V8 isolate model keeps them warm without dedicated containers+128

Cons

Debugging Workers is harder than debugging a normal Node.js server — the runtime limitations catch you off guard with crypto or Node.js APIs missing+147
Local development with Wrangler is improving but still has gaps between local behavior and production behavior that cause confusing bugs+123
Workers KV and Durable Objects are powerful but have a learning curve and the eventual consistency model of KV can surprise you+98
No built-in support for long-running processes — anything over a few seconds of CPU time needs to be handed off to a queue+84
