Next.js hosting at the lowest computed cost
SimDeploy is low-cost Next.js hosting that analyzes your app and deploys it on the cheapest compatible architecture — a static export (output: 'export') ships at $0 on SimDeploy's origin today, with SSR and ISR planned.
SimDeploy analyzes your Next.js app — static share, API routes, database — and computes the cost per architecture before the deploy. Static builds (output: export) ship on the free plan today; SSR/serverless is planned.
How it works
1. simdeploy analyze (shows staticPercentage, routes and cost per architecture) 2. For a static site: output: 'export' in next.config 3. simdeploy deploy --yes
- —Estimated cost per architecture (static, hybrid, serverless, node-server)
- —Provider free allowances applied in the math
- —Estimates always labeled — the real bill comes from billing, no surprises
How the cost decision is made
SimDeploy reads your Next.js app before it deploys: simdeploy analyze reports the static share (staticPercentage), the API routes it found and the data dependencies, then prices each compatible architecture from public provider price tables and picks the lowest-cost one. Provider free allowances are applied in the math, so a mostly-static app lands on the cheapest viable target instead of a one-size plan. The estimate appears before the deploy and is always labeled a projection — the real bill comes only from billing, so there are no surprises.
Free static hosting today
A static export (output: 'export' in next.config) deploys end-to-end at $0 on SimDeploy's origin today. Apps that need SSR or ISR are planned; asking to deploy one returns a typed error rather than a partial deploy, so you always know where a build stands. You see the architecture and its projected cost from simdeploy analyze before committing to a deploy.
| Next.js output | On SimDeploy today |
|---|---|
| Static export (output: 'export') | Deployed end-to-end at $0 on SimDeploy's origin |
| SSR (server-rendered pages) | Planned — returns a typed error today |
| ISR (incremental static regeneration) | Planned — returns a typed error today |
| API routes / serverless functions | Planned — returns a typed error today |
FAQ
How does SimDeploy make Next.js hosting cheap?
simdeploy analyze reads your app's static share, API routes and data needs, prices each compatible architecture from public provider price tables, and picks the lowest-cost one.
Can I host a Next.js app for free?
A static export (output: 'export') ships on the free plan today. Apps that need SSR or serverless are planned.
Are the cost figures the real bill?
No. The figures shown are projections computed from public price tables and are labeled as estimates; the real bill comes exclusively from billing.
How do I see the cost before deploying?
Run simdeploy analyze — it prints staticPercentage, the routes it found and the estimated cost per architecture before anything is deployed.
