what it lets you cancel
VercelPARCIAL$20/mo

Despliega Next.js o cualquier contenedor web desde Git en tu propio servidor; las vistas previas y la magia del framework son menos automáticas.

the catchCoolify can deploy Next.js from Git, but you trade Vercel's global edge, framework-native previews, and zero-server operations for a VPS you must run.

HerokuNO TANTO$7/mo

Heroku en tu propio servidor, incluyendo despliegues con Git, TLS, registros, bases de datos y copias de seguridad programadas.

the catchCoolify recreates Git deploys, TLS, logs, and databases, but the VPS, operating-system patching, backups, uptime, and incident response now belong to you rather than Heroku.
