Vercel Alternative for Client Delivery — No Git Required
The Vercel alternative for client previews. Upload a ZIP, get a permanent link that updates in place. No Git, no CI/CD, no new URL on every deploy.
The Problem with Using Vercel for Client Previews
Vercel is an excellent production deployment platform. But it’s not designed for client delivery:
- Requires Git — every preview needs a connected repository
- New URL on every deploy — clients get confused which link is current
- No client delivery features — no comments, no version comparison, no file delivery
Clowd is the Vercel alternative for client-facing delivery. ZIP upload, permanent URL, updates in place.

How to Replace Vercel for Client Previews
# Build your site
npm run build
# Zip the output folder
# (build/, dist/, or out/ depending on framework)
# Upload to Clowd → get permanent link → share with client
# When you have updates → upload new zip → same URL
Framework output folders:
- Create React App →
build/ - Vite →
dist/ - Next.js static →
out/ - Astro →
dist/ - SvelteKit →
build/
The Best Workflow: Use Both
Clowd doesn’t replace Vercel — it complements it:
- Client preview → Clowd (ZIP upload, permanent link)
- Client approval → Client reviews and approves via Clowd
- Production → Deploy to Vercel via GitHub CI/CD
