Question

Can anyone tell me what\'s the pro cons between the two. I\'m not sure if it\'s right to compare the two,

Answer 1

Next.js (see also alternatives like GatsbyJS and After.js) are full featured SSR/static site frameworks, so you get a lot of features out of the box if you need to generate a SSR static site. These frameworks have solved lots of problems, so adding a feature becomes as simple as reading the docs, rather than researching and coding on your own.

If you code your own setup with a standard React app and react-router then you might find yourself running into a lot of complexity and edge cases when you dig into SSR.

In short, if SSR is a core requirement definitely consider using a SSR React framework.
