How the calculators work
Every hosting calculator uses the same workload model: monthly visitors, page views per visitor, page weight, asset fetches per page, API requests, function duration, memory, deploys, and storage. Pick a preset (Hobby, Startup, Growing, or Scale) or fine-tune the numbers. The calculator then applies each provider's exact published rates and shows a line-item breakdown alongside a comparison of all providers for that workload.
Payment processor calculators use a transaction-based model: monthly transaction count and average transaction value. Both Stripe and Polar show their fee breakdown and compare side by side.
Which hosting billing model is right for you?
Serverless metered (Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare): You pay per request, per invocation, and per unit of compute. Costs scale smoothly with traffic but are hard to predict at high volume. Good for variable or bursty workloads.
Container-based (Railway, Render): You pay for always-on compute regardless of traffic. Predictable monthly bills but you pay for idle capacity. Good for steady workloads and apps that need persistent processes.
Self-hosted VPS: Flat monthly cost for the server. No per-request or bandwidth charges. Lowest cost per unit of compute, but you manage patching, backups, and monitoring yourself.
Stripe vs Polar — which payment processor is cheaper?
Stripe charges 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. Polar charges a flat 4% with no fixed component. Polar is cheaper for low average order values (under ~$15) and simpler to model. Stripe is cheaper for high average order values and gives you the widest ecosystem, global payment methods, and enterprise support. Both are natively supported in MakerKit.
Frequently asked questions
Which Next.js host is cheapest in 2026?
For most workloads, a self-hosted VPS is cheapest — a $15/month dedicated VPS handles traffic that would cost $100–300/month on Vercel Pro. Among managed platforms, Cloudflare Workers is often cheapest at scale because it charges no egress fees. Vercel and Netlify are competitive at low traffic but add up quickly as edge requests and bandwidth grow.
How accurate are these estimates?
Rates are verified against each provider's published pricing as of May 2026. The model uses reasonable assumptions (40% active CPU fraction, typical asset counts per page view) that you can override in the advanced panel. Treat the output as an informed estimate, not a billing guarantee — confirm final rates on each provider's pricing page before committing.
Does MakerKit support all these providers?
MakerKit is deployable to any platform that runs Node.js — Vercel, Netlify, Railway, Render, and self-hosted VPS all work out of the box. For payments, MakerKit ships with first-class support for both Stripe and Polar, switchable via a single config option.
