About Vercel
Who Vercel are
Vercel is the company behind Next.js: git push deployment, serverless and edge functions, and preview deployments for every pull request. It has a free Hobby tier, and Pro is around $20 per user per month plus usage.
If you want fixed UK pricing, a dedicated container per site, and email, DNS and tested backups included as standard, here is why teams move to G7Cloud.
The case for switching
Why people leave Vercel for G7Cloud
Fixed pricing, a dedicated container per site, and email, DNS and tested backups included as standard. Here is what changes when you move.
Per-seat pricing taxes the team
Vercel Pro is around $20 per user per month plus usage. A five-person team pays five seats before serving a single request. G7Cloud plans are flat: Pro is £59/mo whether one person deploys or ten, and Agency (£179/mo) adds proper team roles (owner, admin, developer, editor, viewer).
Usage line items are unpredictable
Bandwidth, function invocations, image optimisation, build minutes: on usage-billed platforms the monthly invoice is a function of traffic, and a good month or a misbehaving crawler moves it. G7Cloud has no usage billing at all: ScaleShield filters bot traffic in front of your site, and your price is the plan price.
A persistent, always-on server
Your app runs in a dedicated, always-on container: a persistent Node process (18/20/22), not functions that cold-start on demand. WebSockets, long-running jobs, cron jobs, an in-browser terminal, environment variables: it behaves like the server your framework was tested against.
The database is included, not adjacent
On Vercel, data lives in marketplace or third-party services with their own bills. G7Cloud Business and above includes managed PostgreSQL 15 and Redis 7 instances alongside your app, plus per-customer WireGuard private networking on Pro.
You keep the workflow you like
Git push-to-deploy from GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket; PR preview environments on Pro; live build logs; rollback via redeploy; deploy webhooks to Slack or Discord. The Vercel workflow is the part worth keeping, so we kept it.
