| Free tier | 'Free tier: 0.5 vCPU and 512 MiB' and 'No credit card. It stays active when you add paid packages, and after you cancel them.' Paid capacity is sold in packages: 'One package is 1 vCPU, 1 GiB of memory and 10 GB of storage' at 'EUR 5 a month each', split across apps and databases, with per-app sizes from '0.25 vCPU and 256 MiB up to 2 vCPU and 2 GiB' and 'Ephemeral disk per app, 2.5 to 20 GB'. unit GiB; metered on wall-clock; free-forever |

| Identity | email no card: the pricing page states 'No credit card. It stays active when you add paid packages, and after you cancel them.' No hold exists on the free tier because no payment method is taken. The signup form itself is not quoted in the record, so the email requirement is inferred rather than read, and debit and prepaid acceptance are not stated; a card appears only when a paid package is bought. |

| Egress | Per-app egress cap by size: Tiny 2.5 MB/s, Small 5 MB/s, Medium 10 MB/s, Large 20 MB/s; ingress uncapped; fair-use terms apply to all traffic. No per-GB egress allowance and no overage price is published: 'There's no usage billing, and traffic spikes don't show up on your invoice.' |

| Composes with | the cheapest paid step is EUR 1.25 a month for 0.25 vCPU and 256 MiB, so a second always-on small process costs less than a coffee while the free 0.5 vCPU covers the first. |

| Notes | Aggregator claim checked: free-for.dev describes '0.5 vCPUs / 512 MiB RAM, European servers, automatic firewall' and the vendor agrees on the shape, so the gap is small. What the aggregator omits: the free allowance survives cancellation of paid packages, and the paid floor is EUR 1.25 for a quarter of a package. No sleep timer is published for the free tier, which would make it one of the few free PaaS tiers that does not scale to zero. |
