Vercel Pricing Plans 2026 — Deployments, Functions & Costs

Current Vercel Pricing (May 2026)

Plan	Monthly Cost	Key Features	Best For
Hobby (Free)	$0	Unlimited deployments, 10 serverless functions, 100 GB bandwidth, basic analytics	Personal projects, learning, side projects
Pro	$20/month	Unlimited functions, 1 TB bandwidth, advanced analytics, Web Vitals monitoring	Production apps, growing teams
Business	Custom	Priority support, custom domains, compliance options, dedicated success manager	Enterprise teams, mission-critical apps

Serverless Function Compute Pricing

Included in Pro/Free 100 GB-hours/month

Overage rate (if using Free) $0.50 per GB-hour

Memory pricing $0.00005 per MB per ms

Example: A function using 512 MB RAM for 100 ms executes 100 times costs: (0.512 MB × 0.1 sec × 100 × $0.00005) = $0.26

When to Upgrade from Free to Pro

The Free tier covers most projects indefinitely. Upgrade to Pro ($20/month) when:

You need more than 10 serverless functions
Your monthly bandwidth exceeds 100 GB
You need Web Vitals monitoring and advanced analytics
You're running production applications

Total Cost Comparison: Vercel Free + compute overages rarely exceeds $20/month for hobby projects. Pro tier guarantees 1 TB bandwidth for $20/month, making it worth it if you use more than ~500 GB/month.

Vercel vs Alternatives

vs Netlify: Vercel specializes in Next.js; Netlify is more general-purpose. Both have generous free tiers.
vs AWS Amplify: Amplify is more powerful but complex; Vercel is faster to deploy for Next.js apps.
vs Heroku: Vercel is cheaper for web frameworks; Heroku has more backend/database flexibility.
vs Self-hosted: Vercel includes CDN and edge caching automatically; self-hosting requires more DevOps overhead.

Hidden Costs to Know

Bandwidth overage: Free tier includes 100 GB/month; $0.15 per additional GB (Pro tier: 1 TB included)
Custom domains: Free with any plan; no domain registration cost but you need to buy elsewhere
Analytics: Basic analytics are free; advanced features require Pro tier
Database: Vercel doesn't include databases — you pay separately for Postgres/MongoDB/etc
