| Free tier | Little Lemur: 1 M messages a month, 20 connections, max 100 queues and max 10 000 queued messages on a shared RabbitMQ broker, free for as long as the instance is used, no card unit requests; metered on request-count; The quota counts messages: a message counts once when it is published and once when it is consumed, so 1 M a month is about 500,000 messages that are both published and consumed. The monthly count resets on the first day of each month, and warning emails go out at 70 and 100 percent. An instance that crosses the queue or queued-message threshold is blocked from publishing and from creating queues. At the connection limit new connections are refused and existing ones stay up. Shared plans allow 200 channels per connection. An account may hold up to 49 free instances (650 once it has a paid instance). |
|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Limits |
20 concurrent connections, max 100 queues and max 10 000 queued messages per instance, and 200 channels per connection. Crossing the queue or queued-message threshold blocks publishing and queue creation; at the connection limit new connections are refused. The vocabulary has no kind for a concurrency or a backlog cap. |
| Binding | request-rate 1 M messages a month is about 33,000 a day (1,000,000 / 30), and a message that is published and consumed counts twice, so a steady job queue meets the monthly count before the 20-connection or 10 000-message backlog caps. |
| Identity | email The signup page asks for an email address, or a GitHub or Google sign-in; the plans page states no credit card is required for the free shared plans. The vendor's getting-started steps are create an account, choose a plan and create the instance, and name no phone step; whether the signup flow itself asks for a phone number is unverified: behind a sign-up. |
| Egress | Data transfer is included within a fair-use allowance equal to 30% of the team's monthly spend; usage above it may be charged after a 30-day grace period free allowance: unverified: the allowance is stated as 30% of team spend, and no page states a figure for a team that holds only free instances |
| Per-object cap | 128 MiB per message on CloudAMQP (134217728 bytes) |
| Retention | A queue not consumed from for 28 days is deleted, temporary queues are deleted after 60 seconds, and a free instance with no message published or consumed during the latest two months is deleted after a warning email |
| Interface | rest, unknown Broker protocols AMQP 0.9.1 (ports 5672, and 5671 for AMQPS), AMQP 1.0, MQTT, STOMP, HTTP(S) and WebSockets; the interface vocabulary has no term for AMQP, MQTT, STOMP or WebSocket, so they are listed here. Instances, teams and keys are managed through the CloudAMQP Customer API at https://customer.cloudamqp.com/api, which answers 401 without an API key. endpoint: https://customer.cloudamqp.com/api |
| Tooling | Any AMQP 0.9.1 client library, an MQTT or STOMP client, the CloudAMQP Customer API with an API key as the HTTP basic password, and the cloudamqp Terraform provider. |
| Composes with | A durable work queue between a scheduler that publishes jobs and free compute workers that consume them, sized for about 33,000 message events a day. |
| Reliability | A free instance with no message published or consumed for two months is deleted after a warning email; shared vhosts sit on a multi-tenant broker where other users' load can affect performance. |
| Notes | CloudAMQP's other free shared plan, Loyal Lemming, runs on LavinMQ rather than RabbitMQ and is another tier with its own quotas. Paid shared RabbitMQ (Tough Tiger) is USD 19 a month for 10 M messages and 100 connections. |
| Evidence note | documented Every limit is quoted from a first-party page; the management API host was probed and answered 401 without a key. No broker connection was made, because a broker URL exists only inside an account. A probe of an AMQPS connection with an account's URL would move it to measured. |

A hosted LavinMQ instance has its own hostname, and its management interface is at https://{hostname}.lmq.cloudamqp.com.

| Notes | The other free CloudAMQP shared plan, Little Lemur on RabbitMQ, has half the quota and is a separate record. Paid shared LavinMQ (Elegant Ermine) is USD 19 a month for 20 M messages, 200 connections, max 2000 queues and max 200 000 queued messages. A shared LavinMQ instance can move to a single-node dedicated LavinMQ plan from the console, and it gets a new hostname. |
