| Cons | - −Costs escalate quickly and unpredictably at scale, especially bandwidth and function-invocation overages
- −Per-seat Pro pricing ($20/user/month) adds up fast for larger teams
- −Serverless function execution time/compute limits constrain compute-heavy or long-running workloads
- −Heavy reliance on Vercel-specific features can make migrating to another platform difficult
| - −Pricing and usage limits should be checked against the exact plan
- −Implementation effort depends on the team's data and process maturity
- −Reported outcomes should be validated with the buyer's own data
