What they all still leave out.
How these pages are written
Three rules. No prices or quota numbers for other people's products — those change monthly and a stale table is worse than none, so each page tells you which pricing shape to expect and sends you to the source. Every page names where the other tool genuinely wins. And where this deployment is the wrong choice, the page says so rather than routing around it.
Why compare two tools that are not yours?
Because the question gets asked, and a comparison section that only ever compares against itself is a sales sheet. If the honest answer to "Pages or Vercel" is one of those two, the page should say so.
Where are the migration guides?
On /alternatives — those pages answer "I use X, what changes if I switch", which is a different question from "which of X and Y should I pick".
