I got quite excited at being able to stick my static sites on DO for free, but notice on this page[1] that only the first three are free, then it's $3/m/site.

Perhaps I've been spoiled by services like Netlify. I'd be interested to know what the benefits are of using DO's service over free alternatives.

Someone already mentioned GitHub Pages. I'm pretty sure Azure supports serving static sites straight from Blob Storage too - put Cloudflare in front, and you should be able to host dozens of static sites for a few pennies a month.
