The short answer

Pick AWS Amplify if: Front-end apps deployed from Git onto AWS with usage-based pricing and no monthly minimum, including 1,000 build minutes and 15 GB of transfer under the free tier.
Pick Cloudflare Pages if: Projects where the entire fixed cost should be a $5 monthly account minimum rather than a per-seat fee, and teams already running on the wider Workers platform. Billing is metered, so cost tracks traffic rather than headcount.

Consider something else if…

AWS Amplify: Egress beyond the free allowance is $0.15 per GB, which is the highest of the platforms compared here, and SSR compute is capped at 15 minutes.
Cloudflare Pages: Your repository is hosted somewhere other than GitHub or GitLab, or the free plan's 500 builds a month is not enough headroom.

Documented by only one.

These criteria are published by one provider and not the other. An absence here means we have not found a source, not that the feature is missing.

Entry paid planCloudflare Pages: $5 / month account minimum

Egress over allowanceAWS Amplify: $0.15 per GB served

When you exceed a capAWS Amplify: Billed automatically: pay-as-you-go with no monthly minimums; storage charges keep recurring until the app is deleted

Storage (entry plan)AWS Amplify: Pay-as-you-go: no cost up to 5 GB stored on CDN per month, then $0.023 per GB per month. Separately, build artifact size is capped at 5 GB per app.

Included bandwidthAWS Amplify: 15 GB of data transfer out per month at no cost (with AWS Free Tier)

File or inode limitCloudflare Pages: 100,000 files per site on paid plans (20,000 on Free); maximum single asset size 25 MiB

Max request durationAWS Amplify: 15 minutes (maximum execution time of an SSR compute execution instance)

CPU time limitCloudflare Pages: Up to 30 seconds of CPU time under the Standard usage model, which the Pages docs state Pages supports. CPU time is tracked separately from duration in the Pages Functions metrics dashboard; the same page notes that network-bound work inflates duration but not CPU time. Not plan-differentiated on the page.

Streaming response limitAWS Amplify: Next.js streaming is listed as an unsupported feature of the Amplify Hosting compute SSR provider — i.e. streamed responses are not available at all, rather than bounded by a duration or size. Platform-wide (Amplify Hosting has no plan tiers).
