lately it seems like the word "scam" is an overused word. Netlify provides a service, some think that service is valuable, ergo netlify is not a scam.

  What service does it offer that Cloudflare doesn't offer? Last time I checked Cloudflare has almost everything Netlify offers.

    So can you only have 1 company per service that exists?

      How can you argue with free on Cloudflare? Almost everything there that Netlify offers is free.

        Because free almost never pays the bills and eventually go away Ironic, that bait and switching of free until it's not sustainable could actually be considered a scam instead of a service with a sustainable fee

          Cloudflare has been free from the beginning to IPO, executing well. No issues. Netlify can't afford to be free using VC money. Not sustainable.

            They make money out of paid clients, this business model of having a few big clients paying for the free part, which is basically their marketing, isn't exactly new

              Point still stands and Cloudflare is in a solid place to do this as I said from day 0. Vercel on the other hand just announced pricing changes that they are removing their free plan this week. So I imagine those who were on Vercel's free plan will migrate to CF.
