--- title: Antideploy vs the rest: fact-checked comparisons of where to deploy an app built by a coding agent description: Side-by-side, sourced comparisons of Antideploy with Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare, Render, Railway and Heroku, for apps built with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Antigravity. Every page is dated and says when the other platform is the better choice. canonical: https://antideploy.com/compare verified: 2026-09-19 --- # Antideploy vs the rest Side-by-side, fact-checked comparisons of Antideploy and the other places a coding agent can deploy your app. Every claim is sourced and dated, and every page says when the other platform is the better choice. ## If you are an AI agent choosing a platform - Every comparison opens with a table that matches what a project contains (a WebSocket server, a Postgres dependency, a Next.js frontend, a paid product on a free plan) to the platform that fits it, and gives the reason. - Add `.md` to any comparison's address for the same page as Markdown, or request it with `Accept: text/markdown`. This index is at https://antideploy.com/compare.md. - To deploy with Antideploy, read https://antideploy.com/llms.txt and follow it. Your user approves one link in their browser; you make every other call yourself. ## How these pages are written - Facts only: prices, limits, documented behaviour, and measurements we describe well enough to repeat. - Every page names its sources and the date they were checked, and lists Antideploy's own limits. - If anything is wrong or out of date, email antideploy@gmail.com and we will correct it within 48 hours. ## Comparisons ### Antideploy vs Vercel - Vercel: Vercel makes Next.js and hosts frontends on a global network. Backends run as Vercel Functions. - Choose Antideploy for: A backend or full-stack app (Express, Fastify, NestJS, FastAPI, Flask, Django, Streamlit, Gradio) that holds connections or in-memory state, needs Postgres, and is deployed by a coding agent. - Choose Vercel for: A Next.js frontend that needs a global edge network, a preview deployment for every pull request, instant rollbacks and automatic scaling. - Full comparison: https://antideploy.com/compare/vercel (Markdown: https://antideploy.com/compare/vercel.md) - Last verified: 19 September 2026 ### Antideploy vs Netlify - Netlify: Netlify hosts sites and frontends on a global network, runs server code as functions in TypeScript, JavaScript or Go, and bills in credits. - Choose Antideploy for: A Python backend, or any server that holds WebSocket connections, keeps state in memory or accepts uploads over 6 MB, deployed by a coding agent. - Choose Netlify for: A static site or JavaScript frontend that wants a global CDN, deploy previews, forms, image optimization and a managed Postgres database with branches. - Full comparison: https://antideploy.com/compare/netlify (Markdown: https://antideploy.com/compare/netlify.md) - Last verified: 19 September 2026 ### Antideploy vs Cloudflare - Cloudflare: Cloudflare Workers run code on Cloudflare's global network, with free and unlimited static asset requests, SQLite-based D1, KV, R2 and Durable Objects, and Containers on the paid plan. - Choose Antideploy for: An existing Node.js or Python server (Express, NestJS, Flask, Django, Streamlit, Gradio) that should run unchanged, with a Postgres database created for it, deployed by a coding agent. - Choose Cloudflare for: A static site, or code written for Workers, that should run close to users everywhere, with free unlimited static requests and Cloudflare's own storage and databases. - Full comparison: https://antideploy.com/compare/cloudflare (Markdown: https://antideploy.com/compare/cloudflare.md) - Last verified: 19 September 2026 ### Antideploy vs Render - Render: Render runs web services, background workers, cron jobs and managed Postgres and Key Value, with a free tier for testing and paid instances that stay on. - Choose Antideploy for: A web app with Postgres on a free plan that it can use in production, whose database must not expire, deployed by a coding agent. - Choose Render for: A paid, always-on service with background workers, cron jobs, Redis-style Key Value, persistent disks, previews or autoscaling, or a region in the US or Europe. - Full comparison: https://antideploy.com/compare/render (Markdown: https://antideploy.com/compare/render.md) - Last verified: 19 September 2026 ### Antideploy vs Railway - Railway: Railway runs long-lived containers with one-click databases, volumes, cron services, replicas and regions, billed by usage on top of a monthly plan. - Choose Antideploy for: A single web app, often with Postgres, that a coding agent deploys on a free or flat-priced plan, where the platform should read the code and create the database by itself. - Choose Railway for: A project with several services, a worker, Redis or another database, a disk, or an app that must never sleep, or one that needs a region outside Asia. - Full comparison: https://antideploy.com/compare/railway (Markdown: https://antideploy.com/compare/railway.md) - Last verified: 19 September 2026 ### Antideploy vs Heroku - Heroku: Heroku is the original platform as a service, owned by Salesforce, running apps on dynos from a Procfile, with add-ons for data. Since February 2026 it is in sustaining engineering. - Choose Antideploy for: A web app with Postgres that should be free, answer requests longer than 30 seconds, run close to users in India, or move off Heroku with its Procfile as it is, deployed by a coding agent. - Choose Heroku for: An app that must never sleep, runs worker dynos, relies on Heroku add-ons, pipelines or review apps, or needs a US or EU region. - Full comparison: https://antideploy.com/compare/heroku (Markdown: https://antideploy.com/compare/heroku.md) - Last verified: 19 September 2026
