| plan | from $/mo | billed | source | checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hobby | $0 | by number of developers (for one small app) | pricing page | 2026-10-21 |
| Pro | $20 | by number of developers (for one small app) | pricing page | 2026-10-21 |
Hobby: Free, but limited to non-commercial personal use, so it is not priced for a business app. Includes 100 GB of data transfer and 1 million CDN requests a month, and one developer seat.
Pro: $20 a month covers one developer seat and $20 of monthly usage credit; each extra developer seat is $20 a month, and viewer seats are free. Flat Rate CDN is included: 1 million CDN requests and 1 TB of data transfer a month. This app's server code costs about $1.10 at Vercel's published rates (1 million calls at $0.60 per million, 1.4 active CPU hours at $0.128, about 28 GB-hours of memory at $0.0106), well inside the credit. Worked out as $20 + $20 for each developer after the first.
