StronglyCloudRequest access

A Vercel alternative for the whole AI product, not just the code you write.

Vercel is an excellent place to deploy a web app and assemble AI features in code. Strongly Cloud gives you the rest already built: agents, visual workflows, hosted models, GPUs, ML and managed databases, with governance and payments around them.

Strongly Cloud vs Vercel · last checked October 25, 2026

Assemble it in code, or have it built.

On a developer cloud you write the AI backend yourself and pick partners for the data. On Strongly Cloud the backend is already there: agents, workflows, models, GPUs and databases in the same project as your app, for engineers and non-engineers alike.

On Strongly Cloud

  • Build agents and workflows in code, on a visual canvas with 500+ nodes, or by asking STAN, the AI operator.
  • 87+ hosted open-weight models next to OpenAI, Anthropic and Google, plus GPU deploys from T4 to H100.
  • Traditional ML, AutoML and fine-tuning on the same platform as the app.
  • One-click PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, RabbitMQ, Milvus, Neo4j, Greenplum and SurrealDB, on one bill.

On Vercel

  • Excellent hosting for Next.js and other web frameworks, on a global CDN.
  • AI Gateway, durable Workflows and Queues for AI features you write in JavaScript, TypeScript or Python.
  • Functions run with up to 4 GB of memory and 2 vCPU, and up to 800 seconds on Pro.
  • Databases come from Marketplace providers such as Neon, Upstash and Supabase, with provider-specific pricing.

Which one is right for you?

Choose Vercel if

  • You want the best-in-class hosting for a Next.js front end on a global CDN.
  • Your team writes everything in TypeScript and is happy to assemble the AI backend in code.
  • You want to start free. Vercel Hobby is free for personal, non-commercial projects.

Choose Strongly Cloud if

  • Your product needs agents, workflows, models or ML, not only a web front end.
  • People who do not write code need to build too, visually or with STAN.
  • You want to host open-weight models or run work on GPUs.
  • You want databases, vector stores and queues managed on the same platform and bill.
  • You want approval gates before deploys, and Stripe paid access for your users.

"Bring your own" means you can build or connect it yourself, but it is not a managed part of Vercel, based on Vercel's public pages as of October 25, 2026.

One plan instead of a stack.

What you would otherwise stitch together, pay for separately and keep in sync.

  • Vercel for the app
  • Marketplace database and vector store providers
  • A GPU cloud for open-weight models
  • An ML platform for training and a registry
  • A visual workflow tool for non-developers
  • A billing integration
One Strongly Cloud plan. One login, one set of permissions, one bill.

Moving from Vercel.

  1. 01

    Bring the same code

    Upload the app as a folder, zip or container. Strongly Cloud detects the framework, such as Next.js, and builds it.

  2. 02

    Move your data

    Add a managed PostgreSQL, Redis or vector database in one click and point your environment variables at it.

  3. 03

    Point your domain

    Go live on your own domain, with autoscaling and monitoring handled.

  4. 04

    Add the rest

    Turn on sign-in and Stripe paid access, and add agents, workflows and models in the same project.

Common questions

Can I host a Next.js app on Strongly Cloud?

Yes. Upload a Next.js, React, Vue, Node.js, FastAPI or Django app, or any container. It goes live on your domain with sign-in, autoscaling and monitoring.

Is Strongly Cloud a CDN for static sites?

No. If you mainly need a fast global front end, Vercel is a strong choice. Strongly Cloud is built for the AI product behind it: apps, agents, workflows, models and data.

Does Strongly Cloud run GPUs?

Yes. Deploy apps and models on GPUs from T4 to H100, run GPU workspaces, and give heavy workflow steps GPU workers.

Is Strongly Cloud more expensive than Vercel?

The starting price is higher. Strongly Cloud plans start at $199 a month and include infrastructure credits, agents, workflows, hosted models, ML and managed databases. Compare it with the full set of providers you would otherwise add.
