ZeroDeploy vs Cloudflare Pages
Cloudflare Pages is powerful but ecosystem-dependent. ZeroDeploy is a focused deploy tool.
Last updated: February 20, 2026TL;DR
Cloudflare Pages offers generous free hosting with unlimited bandwidth, backed by the Cloudflare ecosystem (Workers, KV, R2). ZeroDeploy is a simpler, focused tool with built-in forms and analytics — no ecosystem required. If you're already in the Cloudflare ecosystem or need Workers integration, Cloudflare Pages is the natural choice. If you want a standalone deploy tool with more built-in features, ZeroDeploy is the lighter option.
Cloudflare Pages is part of the broader Cloudflare platform — and that's both its strength and its complexity. You get unlimited bandwidth, Workers integration, and access to KV, R2, and Durable Objects. That's incredible if you need it. But if you just want to deploy a static site with forms and analytics, navigating the Cloudflare dashboard and ecosystem can feel like overkill. ZeroDeploy is a focused deployment tool: deploy your site, collect form submissions, check your analytics. No ecosystem to learn, no services to connect.

Pricing
Cloudflare Pages is genuinely generous — unlimited bandwidth and 500 builds/month on the free tier. That's hard to beat on raw hosting value. ZeroDeploy's Starter plan ($9/mo) gives you 1 site with 1GB storage and 1 custom domain — plus forms and analytics that Cloudflare Pages doesn't have natively. ZeroDeploy Pro at $29/month gives you 10 sites, 10GB storage, and 10M requests with forms and analytics included. Cloudflare Workers Paid is $5/month, but that's for Workers — if you want forms, you'd need to build your own with Workers + KV. For pure static hosting with unlimited bandwidth, Cloudflare Pages wins on price. For a complete package with forms and analytics built in, ZeroDeploy offers more out of the box.

Is ZeroDeploy better than Cloudflare Pages?
Not better — different. Cloudflare Pages is part of a powerful ecosystem with unlimited bandwidth. ZeroDeploy is a focused tool with built-in forms and analytics. If you need the Cloudflare ecosystem, use Cloudflare Pages. If you want a simpler deploy tool with more features built in, try ZeroDeploy.
Does ZeroDeploy use Cloudflare?
Yes, ZeroDeploy is built on Cloudflare's infrastructure (Workers, R2, D1). Your sites are served from Cloudflare's global edge network. You get the performance benefits without needing to manage the Cloudflare ecosystem directly.
Can I migrate from Cloudflare Pages to ZeroDeploy?
If your site is static, migration is simple — build locally and deploy the output folder with the ZeroDeploy CLI. If you use Cloudflare Workers functions bound to your Pages project, those would need to be moved separately.
What about bandwidth limits?
Cloudflare Pages offers unlimited bandwidth. ZeroDeploy's Starter plan ($9/mo) includes 1 site with 1GB storage and 1 custom domain. Pro ($29/mo) includes 10 sites with 10M requests/month. For most static sites, 10M requests is plenty. If you expect very high traffic and want zero bandwidth costs, Cloudflare Pages has the edge here.
