Vercel Basic Build Machines Now Available on Pro and Enterprise

What shipped

Vercel Basic build machines are now available to Pro and Enterprise teams: a fixed 2 vCPU / 8 GB option for smaller apps and agents that build with fewer resources.

What changed

Basic machines are the same 2 vCPU hardware Hobby has always used — that tier is now also called Basic. Pricing stays at $0.0035 per vCPU per minute, or $0.007 per build minute. New Pro and Enterprise projects still default to Elastic build machines, which scale automatically and remain the recommendation for most workloads. Teams can switch via team settings, project settings, or the CLI:

vc project update --build-machine basic

The flag requires Vercel CLI 59.6.0 or later.

Why a builder cares

If your builds don't need Elastic's burst scaling — small sites, preview deploys, content-heavy apps — Basic cuts build cost to a flat $0.007 per minute with no scale-up surprises.
