FAQ
Can I move an app from Vercel to artifacted?
If it is static files or small server functions, yes: drop the folder or run npx artifacted deploy. artifacted runs no build step, so a project that needs one is refused with a plain explanation; its built output folder works.
Do the people I share with pay?
Not on artifacted, on any plan. For Vercel, see the pricing row above.
