Best Codex Sites lane

A fast path from internal requirement to hosted workspace app before a full production migration exists.

When Vercel is stronger

Production web apps, public domains, preview deployments, framework control and long-term ownership.

Main risk

Move to Vercel when public traffic, SEO, domain control, CI previews or framework-specific behavior are non-negotiable.

Decision rule

  • Internal workspace app: start with Codex Sites.
  • Public domain, SEO, payments or code ownership: prefer the alternative path.
  • If the idea is unclear, generate a Codex Sites prompt first to clarify scope.
