Short answer: choose Netlify if you need forms, serverless or edge functions and deploy previews. Choose NexaCloud if you only publish static files and prefer a minimal, GitHub-Actions-based workflow with plain limits.

Where Netlify is stronger.
Netlify is a mature platform with form handling, serverless and edge functions, deploy previews and many integrations. If your project uses these, stay on Netlify.
Where NexaCloud fits.
For a static site you may not need those features. NexaCloud runs on Cloudflare’s global network, gives every project a free HTTPS address, builds in your own GitHub Actions and shows plain limits. Higher limits on Pro apply the moment payment is confirmed.
Moving a static site from Netlify.
- Create a free NexaCloud account and a project.
- Add the secret and workflow to your repository (change the output folder to your publish directory).
- Push and verify the new address.
The generic GitHub Actions guide lists the output folder for common generators.
