Cloudflare Pages
Pros
- + Unlimited sites, seats, requests and bandwidth even on the free tier
- + Preview deployment for every commit, unlimited previews on all plans
- + Pages Functions run on the Workers runtime with KV, D1, Durable Objects and R2 bindings
- + Builds and TLS are fully managed; zero server configuration
- + Flat plan pricing — delivery volume never changes the bill
Cons
- - Build limits (500/month Free) bind long before bandwidth does
- - 20,000-file and 25 MiB per-file ceilings push media-heavy sites to R2
- - Hard platform boundary: no persistent servers, no arbitrary runtimes
- - Shared build infrastructure can queue during peak periods
- - No uptime SLA below the Business plan
Pantheon
Pros
- + Workflow is the product: dev/test/live Git deploys, Multidev, Autopilot with visual regression
- + Free sandbox sites and a $0 Silver workspace for small teams
- + Site regions in US, EU, Canada and Australia — EU keeps data and backups in-region
- + Automatic nightly/weekly backups on paid sites, backed by Terminus CLI and API
- + Google Cloud infrastructure with Fastly global CDN included
Cons
- - Workspace fee plus per-site plans gets expensive across a portfolio
- - Uptime SLA (99.95%) only on Elite; Performance tiers sold with no SLA
- - Opinionated CMS-only platform — no root, no arbitrary runtimes
- - Migration lock-in: Multidev, Autopilot and backups tooling must be rebuilt elsewhere
