Cons

Pricing jumps sharply between the hobby free plan and the $20/mo Pro plan, with no middle tier for small commercial projects+184
Serverless function execution time and memory limits can surprise you in production — a long-running background job will silently time out+162
Bandwidth overages on the free plan are hard to predict and a viral post can result in an unexpected bill overnight+148
Vendor lock-in is significant if you use Vercel-specific features like ISR, Edge Middleware, or the Analytics product+121
