Users switch for better Next.js support, faster deployments (20-45s vs 68s), spending limits, and similar ease of use. Vercel is the top competitor, especially for React/Next.js projects.

Users switch for unlimited free bandwidth (no DDoS bill risk), 300+ edge locations, and Cloudflare's security features included. Best value for static sites with unpredictable traffic.

Users needing full-stack capabilities switch to Railway for backend hosting, databases, and longer-running processes. Better for applications beyond static sites.

Users switch for Heroku-like simplicity with full-stack support. Render offers static sites, web services, databases, and background workers in one platform.

Developers needing more control and global edge deployment switch to Fly.io. Better for full-stack apps with specific performance requirements.
