Netlify is great. I have 5 sites there. All for free. My only concern is that it's too good to be true. I hope nothing changes for the worse (i.e. they get bought and cripple the free tier).
- securityfreak 8y agoI knew nothing about Netlify before this post, so this is a purely generic, rational note: yes it will. You lure in customers with an attractive free tier and then change it so you can monetize at least some of them and be profitable. Choosing the right business model however, is what I think shows the true character of the company’s leadership. Unfortunately greed usually wins. But enjoy the product while it lasts. Might be a good amount of months, or even years before that happens.
- thirdsun 8y agoOn a sidenote: Please be aware that they didn't start free - I used them before their current pricing tiers and happily paid about about 25 € for their entry- or mid-level tier. Sometime after the new plans kicked in, I realized that I'd loose absolutely nothign by downgrading to the free plan. It still sounds to good to be true, but I just wanted to point out that they charged for their service when they were much smaller.
