VERDICT

Should I use DeployHQ?

Deploy your website from GitHub, GitLab & Bitbucket automatically. Zero-downtime deployments, build pipelines, one-click rollbacks. - deployhq.com

Depends. Buy it if you push Git repos to your own servers and want zero-downtime deploys without writing YAML. Skip it if GitHub Actions already covers you, or you deploy to platforms with native deploys.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 30+ public sources; review base is small (65 G2 reviews, 12 Capterra reviews).

  • Solo devs with one simple site — a free script suffices
