So I'm doing research for a project and I am wondering if there exists any web applications that offer similar services to GitHub Pages.
As in, a free (or cheap) web host where the collaborators push to a central git repository to make the changes and those changes get deployed live.

At first glance, GitHub Pages and Netlify have a lot in common, but GitHub is not equipped for production sites with modern tooling. If you need deploy previews, pain-free site updates, rollbacks, and the ability to scale, Netlify is the obvious upgrade.
While the GitHub Pages vs Netlify comparison indicates that both are free, with Netlify being superior at 3 builds a minute, it leaves out one major gotcha: On the free tier, Netlify only provides 300 minutes of build time monthly. AFAIK, GitHub Pages has no limitations.
GitHub Pages is available in public repositories with GitHub Free and GitHub Free for organizations, and in public and private repositories with GitHub Pro, GitHub Team, GitHub Enterprise Cloud, and GitHub Enterprise Server.
Heroku is another possible option: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/static-sites-ruby

I would recommend Azure Web Sites. It has a free tier and allow you to automatically publish your site from VCS.

Aerobatic is a static hosting service that's integrated directly with Bitbucket as an add-on. Features include CDN, wildcard SSL certs, HTTP basic auth, and more.

If you want to just host a static website, consider taking a look at CloudCannon. You can also use Amazon services like S3 and Cloud Front: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/gettingstarted/latest/swh/website-hosting-intro.html
