An AI-native Vercel alternative
SimDeploy is an AI-native Vercel alternative that analyzes your project and deploys it on the lowest-cost compatible architecture automatically — showing the cost before it ships.
SimDeploy is an AI-native Vercel alternative that picks the lowest-cost architecture for you: instead of choosing runtime, region and plan, you point it at the project and it analyzes the code and deploys the cheapest compatible target — static today — showing the estimate first.
How it works
1. simdeploy analyze (see architecture and estimated cost before changing anything) 2. simdeploy deploy --yes 3. Public URL with a verified health check
- —Deterministic project analysis (framework, routes, database, workers)
- —Cost-based routing across providers with open price tables
- —Predictable pricing: limits and overages visible before you are charged
What makes it AI-native
SimDeploy inverts the usual deploy flow. Instead of you selecting a runtime, region and plan, you point it at the project; it runs a deterministic analysis — framework, routes, database, workers — prices each compatible architecture from open price tables, and deploys the lowest-cost one, showing the projection before anything ships. Every capability exists on the CLI, the REST API and a native MCP server, so a coding agent operates it as a first-class user rather than scraping a dashboard. The result is a deploy where the platform makes the infrastructure decision and shows its cost math first.
Honest scope today
SimDeploy deploys static builds end-to-end today, including static exports of frameworks like Next.js. Vercel supports more workloads right now — server rendering, serverless functions and edge — while SimDeploy's server-rendered and serverless targets are planned and return a typed error rather than a partial deploy. Displayed costs are projections computed from public price tables, labeled as such; the real bill always comes from billing.
| Dimension | SimDeploy | Vercel |
|---|---|---|
| Who chooses the architecture | The platform, automatically from code analysis | You configure runtime, region and plan |
| Cost shown before deploy | Yes — a projection before every deploy | No |
| Agent-native (MCP + non-interactive CLI) | Yes, first-class | Partial |
| Workloads today | Static builds | Static, SSR, serverless and edge |
| Pricing model | Fixed plan, cost projection first | Usage-based |
FAQ
What is SimDeploy?
SimDeploy is an AI-native Vercel alternative: instead of you picking runtime, region and plan, it analyzes the project and deploys the lowest-cost compatible architecture, showing the estimate before the deploy.
How is SimDeploy different from Vercel?
SimDeploy is agent-first — every capability exists on the CLI, the API and a native MCP server — and it routes by computed cost across providers using open price tables rather than a fixed platform. Vercel supports more workloads today, including server rendering and serverless.
What can SimDeploy deploy today?
Static builds ship today, including static exports of frameworks like Next.js. Server-rendered and serverless targets are planned.
How much does it cost?
Static deploys ship on the free plan today. Limits and overages are shown before you are charged, and the cost estimate appears before every deploy — figures in the product are projections from public price tables, labeled as such.
