Transparency alternatives to Vercel
Other Cloud hosting vendors we measure, sorted by how much we found at them and not at Vercel. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 34 that differ from Vercel on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
Vercel has 3 gaps in what we could measure: Subprocessor list, Data location stated, No third-party tracking before consent. The column “Found there, not found at Vercel” is the one that closes them.
