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

No parsed number 11

These match the filter, but no price or quantity parsed from their text yet. They are listed, not dropped.

Card or phone requirement not stated 29

The data does not state whether a payment card is needed, or the identity is a placeholder that no source states. These records are listed, not dropped, and none of them is counted as no.

Self-hosted, the last resort 4

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. They follow the same order: ranked, then with no parsed number, then, under their own heading, with the card or phone not stated.

Card or phone requirement not stated 3

The data does not state whether a payment card is needed, or the identity is a placeholder that no source states. These records are listed, not dropped, and none of them is counted as no.
