Hosting Strapi on Netlify
Pricing data as of 2026-10-12 · refreshed weekly
Netlify is a serverless platform. Strapi needs roughly 1024MB RAM for a production server process, so the cheapest plan that actually fits depends on your traffic. Below is the cheapest Netlify plan that fits each traffic level, computed from current list prices.
Note: the 1024MB figure is for serving the built app. Production builds (next build and friends) are heavier and belong in CI or on your laptop — run them on the same small instance and you'll hit out-of-memory errors that say nothing about its serving capacity.
