Open source alternatives to Vercel

Cloud platform for frontend frameworks and serverless functions. · Vercel, Inc.

Pricing: Hobby free tier; Pro from $20/seat/mo

Vercel is the default deployment target for Next.js and a long list of other frontend frameworks. Self-hostable alternatives split into two camps: full PaaS (Coolify, Dokku) and deploy-anywhere primitives (Caddy, Traefik). Coolify is the most direct Vercel replacement for the 'git push to deploy' experience; Dokku is the right pick for Heroku-style workflows on a single server.
