Vercel is the go-to for Next.js, but if you just need free static site hosting without a GitHub account or framework lock-in, G2G Launch gets you live in seconds.

No account, no Git repo required. Vercel ties every deployment to a GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket account. G2G Launch requires nothing—open the page, drop your files, and you’re live. There’s no OAuth flow, no project setup, no repository to create first.
Truly free for any use. Vercel’s free Hobby plan explicitly prohibits commercial use. If you’re building a landing page for a client, a small business site, or a paid product, you technically need Vercel Pro ($20/month). G2G Launch has no usage restrictions.
Plain HTML, no framework needed. Vercel is optimised for Next.js and framework-based projects. If you’re deploying a simple HTML page, a student project, or an AI-generated site, G2G Launch is purpose-built for that workflow without the overhead.
AI-native deployment. G2G Launch works directly inside Claude and other AI tools. Generate a site from a prompt and deploy it in the same conversation. No context-switching to a separate platform.
Next.js and React frameworks. Vercel is built by the creators of Next.js. If your project uses server-side rendering, API routes, or incremental static regeneration, Vercel is the natural home for it.
Edge functions and serverless. Vercel’s edge network runs server-side code globally with near-zero latency. G2G Launch is purely static—there’s no compute layer.
Preview deployments and team workflows. For teams that need automatic preview URLs on every pull request, branch-based environments, and role-based access, Vercel’s git integration is hard to beat.
No signup. No GitHub account. Just your files and 30 seconds.
