I agree with you, $10 in AWS fees sounds like a lot of traffic. That's also why Netlify has a free tier. We leave paid plans for people with more traffic. We event have a redundant DNS service for people that really really need it. For your needs is completely free of charge and hassle :)

PS: As I pointed below, I'm the CTO of Netlify.

I was just looking at your pricing. :) All in all Netlify does offer a compelling service for this scope. I'm also interested in the Pro tier being free for OSS, that's fantastic!

To be fair, setting up AWS for the first time is a real PITA and I happen to have had it all set up (IAM, buckets, command line, etc) already, so my barrier to entry was low. Had I known of Netlify when I first moved my site to AWS I probably would have gone with Netlify for the convenience and free HTTPS cert.
