| Identity | email no card: the platform pricing row reads 'Free | 0 EUR | ... no credit card', so no payment method is taken on Free and no hold exists. The signup form's own fields are not described in any evidence row, so whether an email, phone number or ID document is required is unknown; kind kept as email without an evidence row stating it. |

| Notes | Aggregator claim checked: free-for.dev says 'one 0.5 CPU / 1 GB RAM instance per project, 10 GB bandwidth, 10 successful deploys per day ... Apps sleep after 2 hours without traffic'. Three of those four claims are wrong against the vendor: the instance is 0.6 vCPU and 512 MB, the deploy cap is 50 a day, and the idle timer is 30 minutes, not 2 hours. Omitted by the aggregator: Dockerfile deploys are paid-only, and external uptime monitors are answered by the platform so they do not keep a Free app awake. |
