Pagehaus vs Netlify
Netlify is a full platform for modern web projects: builds, previews, functions and a global network. Pagehaus does much less on purpose: hosting for plain HTML, uploaded the simple way.
| Netlify | Pagehaus | |
|---|---|---|
| Plans | Free (300 credits a month), Personal $9 (1,000 credits), Pro $20 (3,000 credits) | Free, Personal $4, Pro $10 |
| How usage is counted | Credits: 15 per production deploy, 20 per GB of traffic, plus requests and function time | Fixed allowances for storage, traffic, files and form messages |
| When the free plan runs out | Sites are paused until the next monthly cycle, or until you upgrade | Uploads stop when storage is full; for traffic, sites keep running (paused only at three times the allowance) |
| Publishing | Git with builds, drag and drop, CLI | SFTP, browser upload and editor, API, AI assistants |
| Builds and frameworks | Yes: any build command, deploy previews for every change | No build step: what you upload is what's served |
| Serverless functions | Yes | No |
| Contact forms | Yes, free and unlimited | Yes, 50 to 5,000 a month by plan |
| Shared header and footer | Through your build tool | Server Side Includes |
| Your own domain | All plans | Personal and Pro |
| Delivery | Global CDN | One server in the EU |
Checked October 2026 against Netlify's pricing and how its credits work.
Choose Netlify if
- you build your site with a framework or static site generator, and want a preview of every change;
- you need serverless functions, or a global network for visitors all over the world;
- you want your own domain on a free plan, and deploy rarely enough to stay within the credits.
Choose Pagehaus if
- your site is plain HTML and CSS, and you'd rather upload files than set up a build;
- you want fixed limits that don't take your site offline when you go over: full storage only stops uploads, and traffic only pauses a site at three times its allowance;
- you like SFTP, or want collaborators to have their own login limited to one folder;
- you'd like one header shared across pages without any tooling.
