#Platforms with better pricing than Vercel for GH preview deployments?

At work we use Vercel to get preview deployments on PRs for a few sites, but we find it very annoying that whenver someone PRs a site who is not in our team on Vercel, we have to pay Vercel another $20 a month or whatever to get preview deployments on that one PR.

It's hard to tell from other hosts' sites whether they would be less annoying about this. What hosts would give us convenient PR preview deployments but not charge by the user?

If you're using Fly, there's @sly timber's FlyCD project which automates preview deployments

oh very neat. we had switched one of our sites to fly when vercel didn't have streaming (for defer) but just switched back to vercel last week to get previews back 😓

Yeah I think it's free but I'd expect some premium features to appear at some point down the line

Cloudflare has preview deployments

#

and technically, any platform can do it too

lunar grove
#

yeah, I was thinking that. can't tell what their pricing situation is

lunar grove
#

yeah, it's true. you could get it on fly with some github workflows

tulip drift
#

they don't charge per team member

lunar grove
#

cloudflare seems like the best alternative. most likely we'll stick with vercel. I have a minor dislike of vercel but it's not well grounded

tulip drift
#

and preview deployments are available on their free plan

lunar grove
#

and there's a lot that's nice about vercel

tulip drift
#

but it will have a lot of constraints

#

because it's not Node

lunar grove
#

I'm just mad they kept messing up remix deploys for a while

lunar grove
#

I know it's not reasonable

tulip drift
#

this ${__dirname}/../app/content fixing the fs usage on Vercel makes no sense

lunar grove
#

it's just the weird algo it uses to detect paths

#

they may have fixed it too
