We are similar in the following ways:
- GitHub Repo Deployments: Both platforms support deploying directly from GitHub repositories.
- Zero Downtime Deploys: Both ensure your app stays online during deployments.
- Autoscaling: Both automatically scale resources based on traffic.
- Custom Domains: Both allow you to use custom domains for your apps.
Kuberns excels with
- AI-Powered Deployments: Kuberns auto-detects your app’s stack and configures runtimes, making deployments 10x faster than Vercel’s manual setup.
- Superior UI and Usability: Kuberns’ intuitive Dashboard offers real-time monitoring, logs, and one-click environment cloning, more polished than Vercel’s interface.
- Cost-Effective Pricing: Starting at $14/month with zero platform fees, Kuberns charges only for compute resources, compared to Vercel’s $20 per seat plus usage fees.
- Universal Deployment Support: Kuberns supports any app, from static sites to complex backends, while Vercel focuses primarily on frontend deployments.
- Persistent Storage: Kuberns provides persistent storage with native backups, unlike Vercel’s reliance on third-party integrations.
Improvements Over Vercel
Product and Deploy UX
Kuberns offers a modern Dashboard for managing projects and services, with real-time monitoring, logs, and environment cloning. It’s intuitive and visually appealing, making infrastructure management effortless. Vercel’s interface, while clean, focuses on frontend workflows and lacks the depth of Kuberns, such as environment cloning or AI-driven insights.
Builds
Kuberns uses AI to auto-detect and build your app, supporting a wide range of languages with 10x faster, reproducible builds. Vercel requires more manual configuration and is optimized for Next.js, which can limit flexibility for non-frontend apps.
Runtime
Kuberns runs apps in a serverfull environment, ensuring maximum compatibility and no cold starts, unlike Vercel’s serverless runtime, which can introduce latency with cold starts and is less suited for backend-heavy apps.
Multi-Region Deployments
Kuberns deploys your app across multiple regions with a few clicks, reducing latency for global users. Vercel also supports multi-region deployments, but its pricing varies by region due to data transfer costs, making it less predictable.
Databases
Kuberns natively supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, and more, with a built-in UI to manage data and native backups, all billed based on usage. Vercel relies on third-party integrations for databases, which can add complexity and cost.
Private Networking
Kuberns provides global private networking, enabling secure communication between services across regions with no egress fees. Vercel’s networking is more limited, focusing on frontend-edge delivery, and lacks global private networking.
Pricing
Kuberns offers transparent pricing starting at $14/month with zero platform fees, charging only for compute resources. Vercel’s pricing starts at $20 per seat/month, with additional usage fees (e.g., bandwidth, builds), making it more expensive as you scale.
Support
Kuberns provides fast, personalized support via email, WhatsApp, and the Dashboard, with comprehensive docs at kuberns.com. Vercel offers support but can be slower, especially for non-enterprise users, and its docs are more frontend-focused.
