Key
★ qualifies
usable as stated; the read path was probed
caveat
usable, with a named limit or an unprobed read path
trial
a time-boxed or one-time trial, not a recurring allowance
paid
no free allowance; listed for its price
fails: identity
the identity required is not reachable without it
fails: egress
data cannot be read back out at a usable rate or price
fails: quota
the free allowance is too small to matter
dead
the offer or the service no longer exists
self-hosted, last resort
software or a node that the user installs, runs and maintains. Self-hosted options are listed last, because this site is for users who have no hardware.
free tier, no free tier
the record states a free allowance, or states that it has none
identity email
what a signup asks for. A question mark after it: a placeholder, not read from a source
no card, card, card?
a payment card is not asked, is asked, or the record does not say
limit
the limit that runs out first, for example request-rate or volume-quota
evidence
how the record is backed, strongest first: measured, documented, reported, inferred, unverified
fresh until, stale since
the check is inside its window, or past it, on today's date
inherited, checked live
inherited: the record was carried from an earlier source, and its check date is an upper bound. Checked live: the record was checked against the service. The chip filters on it
verdict
a judgement of the whole offer for the need of its topic. The data holds no number as a cut-off. Read the free allowance and the limits of the record, and decide for your own need
duplicate, disagrees
another record holds the same offer, or a sibling record states another value
