Vercel alternative

Honest hosting without per-seat math.

◯ Who each is for

The honest match.

Both tools are good. They're built for different customers.

Choose Vinmur if

◍You're a solo founder or small team and per-seat pricing makes you wince
◍You want predictable monthly costs — no surprise overage bills
◍You need a real Postgres database without a separate vendor
◍You want to use your own OpenAI / Anthropic key for AI features
◍Your project earns revenue — Vercel's free tier blocks that
◍You're hosting a few production sites, not hundreds

Choose Vercel if

◍You need preview deploys for every pull request as a core workflow
◍You're building Next.js apps that depend on Edge Functions or ISR specifics
◍You have enterprise needs (SOC 2, dedicated support, SLAs)
◍You want the deepest Next.js framework integrations available
◍Your team is large enough that the seat math doesn't bother you

◯ FAQ

Common questions.

Can I migrate from Vercel to Vinmur?+

Yes — for static sites and standard Next.js apps. Connect your GitHub repo, set the output directory if needed, and push. For dynamic Node.js apps, Vinmur uses standard "npm start" so most projects that aren't using Vercel-specific Edge Functions will work as-is.

Does Vinmur support Next.js?+

Yes. Push to GitHub, Vinmur runs "npm ci && npm run build" and starts your app. Tested with Next.js 14 dynamic apps including API routes and dynamic segments. Edge Functions and Image Optimization are not supported — set images to "unoptimized" in your Next config.

What about preview deploys on every PR?+

Not yet. Vinmur deploys the linked branch on every push to that branch. Per-PR preview URLs are on the roadmap but not shipped. If preview-per-PR is a core part of your team's workflow, Vercel is currently the better fit.

Is my pricing locked in?+

Yes. The price on your plan today is the price you renew at — forever. No 5-20× renewal hikes that some hosts use, no per-seat charges that grow with your team.

What about bandwidth limits?+

Vinmur Business plans don't currently enforce a hard bandwidth cap. Fair-use applies — if a single site is consuming enormous bandwidth, we'd reach out to discuss. For typical small-business and indie projects, this never comes up.

Can I use my own AI provider?+

Yes — that's BYOM. Add your OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, or any OpenAI-compatible API key in the dashboard. Vinmur's AI features (site builder, assistant, SEO tools) route to your provider, so you control your AI spend.

Predictable pricing. Real Postgres.

Try Vinmur for $2/month on Starter, or go straight to Business for the full stack (GitHub deploy, dedicated Postgres, BYOM AI).
