Ask HN: Is cloudfare workers better than Vercel? (free tier)
1•rohansrma•1h ago
Recently, I reached my vercel's free tier resources and the paid plain is a bit too expensive for a non-profit application (placeprep.app)
is switching to cloudfare workers a good idea?

Depends on you and the code backing your app so all I can really say is that Cloudflare's free tier is quite generous and Vercel can (not necessarily will!) bankrupt you if you're not making money with your app. The problem is that switching isn't free, even in today's AI assisted way, so you have to balance the opportunity cost to port to their platform. (Rhetorical) What other tasks are on your to-do that you aren't going to be working on while you work on porting to Cloudflare?

migrating to cloudfare is not a pain but I'm just thinking is migrating worth it?
Ik the vercel's pricing and I can't afford it at this moment. Is there any best alternative where I can switch for a long time?

My take: Choose Cloudflare for cost savings; choose Vercel for convenience with Next.js
