Review
My full review
For Next.js apps, Vercel is the obvious choice, they literally built Next.js, so the integration is seamless. You connect your GitHub repo, and every push to main is automatically deployed. Preview URLs are generated for every branch.
I use Vercel for Tidify AI and the experience has been flawless. Deployments take under a minute, the CDN means fast load times globally, and the free tier handles significant traffic before you need to upgrade.
If you're building with Next.js, just use Vercel. The time you'd spend configuring alternatives isn't worth it.
