GitHub verdict
The default, and correctly so. Evaluate GitLab only if you need a single self-hosted DevOps platform.
- Largest ecosystem and integration surface
- Actions covers most CI needs without a separate vendor
- Talent familiarity reduces onboarding cost
Netlify verdict
The neutral choice when your framework mix is broad or Next.js is not the centre of your stack.
- Genuinely framework-agnostic
- Built-in forms and identity save services
- Straightforward agency multi-site management
