Companies Using Netlify

We detect Netlify on 154,481 domains, including KW Worldwide, Ltd., Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation, Bupa. A detection means the technology is present on that domain, which for large organisations is often a single storefront or subdomain rather than a company-wide deployment. Among domains we matched to a company with a resolved industry, the most common is Software Development (7.62%).

We detect 154,481 domains running Netlify across our monthly crawl of live business domains. Company data could be matched for 98,949 of them (64.1%), and every company-size, industry and country breakdown on this page describes that matched subset rather than the full detected base. A further 4,860 domains carried a Netlify detection previously and no longer do.

Netlify holds 6.6% of the PaaS category, ranking #6. This is a share of the domains we detect running a platform in this category — not a share of all websites, and not a share of spending — so it is not directly comparable to figures published on other denominators.

The top alternatives to Netlify include Amazon Web Services (39.98% market share), Vercel (16.64% market share), WordPress.com (8.24% market share), Azure (7.5% market share) — measured as a share of the domains we detect running a platform in this category.

United States leads with 29,255 matched Netlify domains, followed by United Kingdom (8,426), India (6,291), Australia (4,429), Canada (4,319). These are counts within the 98,949 domains we could match to a company record, not the full detected base.

The most common company size is 1-10 employees, representing 71.11% of the Netlify domains we could match to a company record and size — a subset of 98,949 matched companies, not of all 154,481 detected domains. This is followed by 11-50 employees (20.21%) and 51-200 employees (5.65%).

Among the Netlify domains we could match to a company with a known founding date, the largest group was founded in the 2010s (40.29%), followed by the 2020s (37.6%). That matched subset is drawn from 98,949 companies and is not representative of all 154,481 detected domains. This suggests Netlify is most popular among relatively young companies.

The ideal Netlify customer is: Company Size: 1-10 employees, Location: US, UK, or India, City: New York, London, San Francisco, Founded: 2010-2019, Company Age: 5-15 years old — based on our analysis of 98,949 enriched companies at TechnologyChecker.io.

Based on our detection data, big companies using Netlify include Novartis, LEGO, Autodesk, Mattel, easyJet, Olympus, NTT Data, Bupa, Vans and Zebra Technologies, alongside universities such as Stanford, Pennsylvania, Chicago and Notre Dame. Most large organisations deploy Netlify on a specific subdomain, typically a documentation site, developer portal or campaign microsite, rather than on the primary corporate domain.

Yes. Our August 2026 crawl detects Netlify on 154,481 domains, up from 14,183 in January 2020 and 70,242 in April 2025. It ranks sixth of 41 technologies in the PaaS category at 6.6% share. Growth in our most recent months partly reflects our own crawl coverage widening, so treat the current count as solid and the short-term slope as unreliable.

Per G2 reviews, the most cited downsides are free tier bandwidth caps, pricing that grows quickly on larger projects, and limited backend functionality for sites that are not primarily static. Our own migration data adds a competitive signal: 1,032 domains moved from Netlify to Vercel against 318 moving the other way, a 3.2 to 1 ratio concentrated on teams building with Next.js.

Netlify is a cloud platform for building, deploying, and hosting modern web applications. Developers connect a Git repository, and Netlify handles continuous deployment, CDN distribution, serverless functions, form handling, and SSL certificates. It was founded in 2014 and originally focused on static sites (JAMstack), but now supports server-side rendering and edge functions.

Yes. Netlify serves content from a global CDN, so static assets scale without per-site tuning. Gemini, the crypto exchange, passed one billion monthly web requests on Netlify according to its published case study, and we detect Netlify on gemini.com. Our detections also include large-audience sites such as ted.com, lego.com and easyjet.com, which carry substantial sustained traffic.

In our August 2026 crawl Vercel is detected on 389,653 domains and Netlify on 154,481, so Vercel leads roughly 2.5 to 1. Within the PaaS category Vercel holds 16.64% and Netlify 6.6%, ranking second and sixth of 41. Both sit behind Amazon Web Services on 39.98%, though AWS is detected through infrastructure signals rather than as a competing deployment choice.

Netlify offers four plans: Free ($0/month with 300 credits), Personal ($9/month with 1,000 credits), Pro ($20/member/month with 3,000 credits), and Enterprise (custom pricing with 99.99% SLA). Credits cover deploys, bandwidth, compute, and serverless functions. Projects pause when credits run out on free/personal plans.

Netlify's free plan includes unlimited deploy previews, custom domains with SSL, global CDN, serverless functions, AI model access, form submissions, and 300 monthly credits. Credits cover production deploys (15 credits each), bandwidth (10 credits per GB), and compute (5 credits per GB-hour). Projects pause at the credit limit until the next billing cycle.

Netlify provides HTTPS on every site by default, DDoS protection through its CDN, and firewall rules even on the free plan. Enterprise plans add SSO, SCIM and a 99.99% SLA. Our detections include regulated organisations that clear demanding security reviews, among them Novartis, Bupa, Montefiore Health System, Stanford Medicine and Metrobank, which indicates the platform passes enterprise procurement in healthcare and banking.

It depends on your framework. Vercel maintains Next.js, and Next.js appears on 67.77% of Vercel domains against 14.05% of Netlify's, which is the clearest difference in our data. Netlify supports frameworks more evenly. Migration runs Vercel's way at 3.2 to 1, but 318 domains did move from Vercel to Netlify, typically teams that were not standardised on Next.js.

Software Development leads at 7.62% of enriched Netlify domains, followed by IT Services at 6.80% and Technology and Internet at 5.04%. The more distinctive pattern is the agency cluster: Business Consulting at 4.15%, Advertising Services at 3.47% and Marketing Services at 1.96% together reach 9.58%, more than software development alone. No single industry reaches double figures.

Netlify supports headless commerce architectures, where the storefront is deployed on Netlify and the commerce engine runs elsewhere. Retail accounts for 2.5% of enriched Netlify domains in our data, so it is a real but modest vertical rather than a core one. It works best paired with a headless CMS and a dedicated commerce API rather than as an all-in-one store platform.

Yes. Netlify's free plan allows commercial use with no restrictions on the type of project. You get custom domains, SSL, and 300 monthly credits. The main constraints are the credit cap (projects pause when depleted) and limited support (community forums only). For production commercial sites with real traffic, the $9/month Personal plan adds priority support and more credits.
