- volume-quota100,000 vCPU-seconds a month is 27.8 vCPU-hours, so at the 0.5 vCPU cap the bucket buys about 55 hours of running time a month, while the 400,000 GB-seconds buys 111 hours at 1 GB, so the CPU bucket runs out first.

| Free tier | Free tier is a metered monthly bucket on hosting Cohesivity provisions inside its own Railway account. Quoted for a claimed Free account: 'projects: 10 max total', 'deploys: 60 per month', 'uploaded bytes: 2 GB per month', 'vCPU-seconds: 100000 per month', 'memory GB-seconds: 400000 per month', 'egress bytes: 5 GB per month', with the compute shape 'Claimed Free: 0.5 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 1 replica, sleep enabled'. An unclaimed ephemeral tenant needs no signup at all and lasts 72 hours with 50,000 vCPU-seconds. unit hours; metered on wall-clock; monthly-allowance |
|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Limits |
|
| Identity | email anonymous for the ephemeral lane: 'the quickstart mints the ephemeral tenant with no signup and no payment ... the tenant self-expires in 72 hours under hard caps', so no identity is checked there. The claimed Free bucket is a different lane and the evidence does not say what claiming it requires - email, phone or card: unknown. No hold is stated, and no card is needed to keep an app up: 'claimed overage draws from fluid at provider cost plus 10%' and 'Hosting is never deleted for non-payment'. |
| Egress | Claimed Free bucket: 'projects: 10 max total', 'deploys: 60 per month', 'vCPU-seconds: 100000 per month', 'memory GB-seconds: 400000 per month', 'egress bytes: 5 GB per month', quoted free allowance: 5 GB per month (claimed Free) price per tb: not published as a per-TB figure: claimed overage auto-purchases fluid blocks at Railway's published rates plus 10% |
| Interface | rest HTTP API, per the offering page: "POST multipart/form-data to /api/railway/deploy: each project file is a files part." |
| Tooling | curl requests, per the offering page: "curl -s -X POST https://cohesivity.ai/api/resources/railway-hosting" |
| Composes with | the tenant is created by the agent rather than by a person, so one session can provision hosting, Postgres and a Redis-compatible cache and hand over an approval link only if the result is worth keeping; that composes with a planner running on another free tier. |
| Reliability | no reliability event recorded |
| Notes | Aggregator claim checked: free-for.dev says the free tier includes '10 projects, 100K edge requests, 10 GB object storage, 100 emails, and 5 USD/month in credits'. The project count matches; the vCPU and memory buckets, the 60-deploy monthly cap and the 0.5 vCPU / 1 GB shape are on the offering page and absent from the aggregator. Railway's own free trial is gone, so this is one of the few remaining routes to Railway compute at no cost, and it holds the account rather than a user: 'Cohesivity creates and owns the Railway project/service/environment/domain'. |
