| Free tier | A free trial that is documented with real numbers: 'Once registered, you automatically have access to Arm Virtual Hardware and are enrolled on a 30-day free trial. This trial provides access for up to 15 active CPU cores at a time and up to 100 core hours of usage. Your trial includes 25 device slots.' After the trial the rate is 'USD 0.50 per core hour, where a core hour is one hour of CPU core usage on AVH', with 'Discounts... for open-source software development and other non-commercial, academic, or research usage'. The models are instruction-accurate virtual development kits, Corstone fixed virtual platforms and Ethos-U NPU models, and they run in the vendor's cloud rather than on a local machine. unit hours; metered on wall-clock; trial-credit |

| Notes | Two things are stated rather than measured: 100 core hours is the trial figure, and whether the trial resets per account is not published. The AWS Marketplace route is a second door with the same rate. This is the only accelerator-adjacent programme whose free allowance is published in a unit that can be planned against. |
