| Free tier | The Starter plan is free forever with no time limit: 2 development environments on Encore Cloud, 1M tracing events a month, 7-day log and trace retention, 1 concurrent build. Applications hosted on Encore Cloud carry fair-use limits per application on every plan: 100,000 requests a day, 100,000 Pub/Sub messages a day, 1 GB of database storage, 1 GB of object storage, and cron jobs no more often than once an hour. unit requests; metered on wall-clock; perpetual-allowance |

| Notes | The unit is requests, not compute: Encore publishes no vCPU or memory allowance for the free hosted environment, so the shape is null rather than guessed. Not established, since the page names deployment to your own cloud as a Pro feature without saying Starter is blocked from Encore Cloud hosting. That is the open question and it moves the verdict between qualifies and trial-only. |
