Hettie vs Vercel
Vercel hosts anything your AI builds. Hettie hosts the site and adds analytics, ads, forms and a blog.
The short version
Vercel is excellent hosting for web apps. Your AI can write a site in any framework and publish it there, and Vercel's own MCP server lets Claude manage projects, publish and read logs. If you're building a big app, Vercel is a strong choice.
But Vercel is only the hosting. A site that brings in business also needs ads, forms and a blog. On Vercel, each of those is another service to pick, sign up for and connect. On Hettie they come already connected.
Pricing is the other difference. Vercel's free plan is for personal, non-commercial use, so a business site needs Pro at $20 a month per person, plus usage. Hettie is $5 a month for five sites, with no usage bill.
