Stackyard
Count the Dashboards You Checked Last Time a Client Asked If Their Site Was Down.
Freelancers managing client sites across Vercel, Netlify, and Railway pay three bills and check three screens for one answer. Stackyard is the one screen.

If you have built your client book past 10 sites, you already know that every major deployment platform for freelancers managing client sites was designed for someone else. Vercel prices by project, which means 20 clients costs you $400/month before a single line of code ships. Netlify's team plan charges per seat, not per client book. Railway and Render work fine for a solo project or two, but neither has a concept of "clients" — just projects, stacked up, billed separately, with no reporting layer on top.
The freelancer running 20 client sites is not the same buyer as the startup engineer deploying a Next.js app. The startup team has one site, a shared repo, and a company card. You have 20 retainer clients, 20 repos, 20 different business owners who will text you on Saturday when something looks broken. The platforms built for startup teams assume a workflow that does not map to yours.
So you patch it together. Vercel for the modern stack clients. Cloudways for the older holdovers. DigitalOcean for the two clients whose sites run on custom Node servers. Three invoices, three notification systems, three places to check uptime. When a client emails asking if their site is up, the honest answer is "let me check" — across three tabs.
The Per-Project Pricing Wall That Only Hits Freelancers
Vercel's pricing is not a bug for the teams it targets. A funded startup with 40 engineers and one production app pays $20/month for a project that generates $2M in revenue. That math works. For a freelancer managing client sites, the same $20/project fee applied across 20 clients is $400/month in hosting alone — before you factor in the time spent reconciling which client's build failed on which platform, generating uptime reports by hand, and maintaining separate logins for each service.
The assumption baked into every major deployment platform is that one developer equals one project, or one team equals one product. You sit in neither category. You are one developer with 20 client relationships, each of which is its own project, its own repo, its own billing line. No platform treats this as the primary workflow. All of them treat it as an edge case to configure around.
Introducing Stackyard
Stackyard is a deployment platform built around the client book, not the project count. Connect your client repos, set a production and staging branch per site, and every site lands in one dashboard with its own uptime feed, deployment log, and monthly report — on a single monthly invoice. It replaces the four-platform juggling act with one login and one predictable bill sized for the way freelancers actually structure their work.
What You Get — From $49/month
One Screen for Your Entire Client Book — Every client site shows current status, last deploy time, uptime percentage, and recent build history in one view. Filter by client or sort by last activity. You see the full picture across your client book without switching platforms.
Staging URLs That Know Which Client They Belong To — Each client site gets a staging URL on the same deployment pipeline. Push to your staging branch and Stackyard deploys it, held separate from production. One staging slot per site, included in the site's plan.
Client Uptime Reports — Auto-generated monthly PDFs per client, formatted for a business owner. Uptime percentage, any downtime incidents, and a log of recent deployments. Attach it to your retainer invoice or forward it as part of your monthly check-in.
Consolidated Billing with Per-Client Breakdown — One charge to your card each month, with an itemized view by client site. Export to CSV for your accounting. Your end-of-month reconciliation pulls from one export.
Manage Multiple Client Deployments from One Login — All 20 client sites, one account. Each site's build config lives on the site, not in a shared file that breaks when you touch it for another client.
Deployment Log Feed Tagged by Client — A chronological feed of every deployment across all clients, with client name, branch, commit message, and pass/fail status. Filter to any client in one click.
Build Failure Alerts with Client Context — When a build fails, you get an alert that names the client and the failing step. You know whose site needs attention before the client notices.
Per-Site Build Configuration That Does Not Drift — Connect any GitHub or GitLab repo and set production and staging branches per site. Each site's configuration is isolated, so changing settings for one client does not ripple into another.
Why $49–$99/month
At 10 client sites on Vercel Pro, you are already paying $200/month just for hosting. At 20 sites, $400/month — spread across however many platforms you are juggling. Stackyard's Agency plan at $99/month covers up to 30 client sites with staging, uptime monitoring, and client reporting included. That is $3.30 per client site per month against a current spend of $15–$25 per site across existing platforms. The platform prices for the account, not the project count, so your bill does not climb each time your client book grows.
Who This Is For
You maintain 10 or more active client sites and you get a bill from at least two hosting platforms each month.
You have sent a client "let me check on that" when they asked about their site's uptime.
You have built a staging environment by spinning up a duplicate project on a free tier and hoped it did not count against your limits.
You charge monthly retainer fees for site maintenance and you do not have a clean way to show clients what that maintenance covers.
You have considered moving everything to a self-hosted VPS just to get one dashboard, but you do not want to become a sysadmin.
The 30-Client Coverage Guarantee
If Stackyard does not cover all the client sites you need on the Agency plan before your first billing cycle ends, we will extend your trial until it does or refund your first month in full. Connect your sites, run a deployment on each, and confirm the setup works for your workflow. One email and we sort it out.
In 30 Days, You'll Have:
- One login covering every client site you manage
- A staging URL for each site, ready to use without spinning up a separate project
- One monthly invoice with a per-client breakdown you can reconcile against your retainers
- Uptime reports for every client formatted and ready to send
- A deployment feed showing every client's build history in one chronological view
- Build failure alerts that name the client before the client names it to you
- A clear answer the next time a client asks "is my site up?"
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Stackyard a Netlify alternative for freelancers who manage multiple clients?
Netlify's team plans price per seat and are designed for a single product team working on one codebase. Stackyard prices per account and is built around multiple independent client repos. If you are managing 10 or more separate client sites and want one invoice and one dashboard, Stackyard fits where Netlify's team tier does not.
Stackyard vs Vercel for agencies: what actually changes?
Vercel's project-based pricing means each client site is a separate billing line. There is no agency pricing that consolidates 20 projects into one account tier. Stackyard's pricing covers your full client book up to 30 sites, and you get client-facing uptime reports and a deployment feed that shows all clients in one view — both absent from Vercel's current plans.
How long does it take to migrate existing client sites to Stackyard?
Connecting a site takes about five minutes: link your GitHub or GitLab repo, set the production and staging branches, and Stackyard handles the first deploy. For most client books, you can move every site over in an afternoon. Stackyard does not require any changes to your codebase or build configuration.
What happens if I go over my plan's site limit?
If you hit your site cap, Stackyard prompts you to upgrade before the next deployment runs — it does not fail a deploy mid-process. You can also contact support to add a temporary overage slot while you decide whether to upgrade.
