The free Netlify alternative that gives you 10TB bandwidth
Netlify's free tier is great — until a Reddit post lands and you hit the 100GB bandwidth cap mid-month. Cheaploy deploys your site to your own Oracle Cloud account with 10TB/month egress, 2 ARM CPUs, and 12GB RAM. All free, all yours.
Side-by-side
| Feature | Netlify (Free) | Cheaploy + Oracle Always Free |
|---|---|---|
| Bandwidth | 100 GB / mo | 10 TB / mo |
| Build minutes | 300 / mo | Unmetered |
| Serverless invocations | 125K / mo | Unlimited (your compute) |
| Concurrent builds | 1 | Unlimited |
| Cold starts | Yes, on functions | None |
| Team seats | 1 | Unlimited |
| Owned by | Netlify | You (your OCI account) |
When Netlify still wins
- Pure static Jamstack sites with no backend and low traffic.
- You want zero infrastructure surface area and are OK with the caps.
When Cheaploy wins
- You've hit — or fear hitting — Netlify's bandwidth cap.
- You want the same DX for Next.js, Astro, Remix, or SvelteKit apps that also need a real database.
- You want infrastructure you own, not rent.
Frequently asked
Does Cheaploy support Netlify Functions?+
Yes. Cheaploy generates a serverless-style Node.js runtime that runs your `netlify/functions/*.ts` handlers on your Oracle Cloud instance. No code changes required for most projects.
What about form submissions and identity?+
Netlify Forms and Identity are proprietary. Cheaploy recommends swapping in Formspree (free tier) for forms and Supabase Auth (also on Oracle) for identity — both are free at hobby scale.
Can I keep my Netlify DNS?+
Yes. Point your existing domain's A record at your Oracle load balancer and Netlify is out of the picture. Cheaploy provisions the SSL cert via Let's Encrypt automatically.
