What it does

Vercel is a cloud platform for building and running web apps and AI agents. It connects to a Git repository for automatic CI/CD, serves content through a global CDN, and includes a web application firewall. The Hobby plan is free, and the Pro plan costs $20 per month.

Vercel is a hosting and deployment platform for teams that want to push code and get a live site without managing servers. The homepage describes agentic infrastructure for coding agents to ship apps and agents, and lists features such as durable orchestration, sandboxed environments, an AI model gateway, and Fluid Compute. The pricing page shows a Hobby plan at $0 per month with automatic CI/CD, a web application firewall, a global automated CDN, and Fluid compute. The Pro plan costs $20 per month and adds $20 of included usage credit, flat rate CDN with traffic spike protection, and advanced spend management. The Enterprise plan adds guest and team access controls, SCIM and directory sync, managed WAF rulesets, multi-region compute and failover, a 99.99% SLA, and advanced support. A careful buyer should note that some limits, such as custom firewall rules and firewall rate limit requests, differ by plan, and that usage beyond included amounts can add to the bill. The homepage does not state whether the software is open source, so that remains unknown.
