| Free tier | 1 TB/month included traffic and 1 billion requests on the free PAYG plan at €0/month. Verified against Gcore's own pricing payload: 'Included FREE Traffic 1 TB/Month', 'Traffic overage (per GB) €0.01', 'Requests over 1B (per 1M) €0.75'. No trial period — it is a standing free plan. unit TB; metered on unstated |
|---|---|
| Price | $0 for the first 1 TB/mo; $10/TB beyond (€0.01/GB). Object storage €0.04/GiB/mo ≈ €40/TB ≈ $46/TB — not a viable origin. |
| Identity | email email |
| Egress | The free 1 TB/month IS the egress. Overage €0.01/GB (≈$10/TB). Separately, Gcore Object Storage has free egress to Gcore CDN and free ingress. free allowance: 1 TB per month price per tb: $10/TB |

| Interface | rest rest |
| Tooling | Standard CDN pull-zone config; origin can be any URL. No card needed for the CDN free plan (confirmed: 'CDN (Free) … Free plan has no trial period, but has a 1 TB traffic limit' with no card condition listed). |
| Composes with | Each email-only account carries the same monthly allowance, and cycling the origin across 10 accounts yields ~330 GB/day in total. Gcore's own object storage is too expensive (€0.04/GiB = €40/TB) to be the origin. |
| Reliability | 210+ PoPs, 200+ Tbps. Origin-shielding is 'Basic' on the free plan. Free tier has been reshaped before (was 100 GB until ~2025, then moved to 1 TB), so budget for the number moving. |

| Free tier | Start for FREE; FREE Trial; 2-day free trial unit hours; metered on unstated |
|---|---|
| Price | EUR 17 per month after the trial |
| Limits | |
| Binding | none The constraint that fails first is the trial length, which the vocabulary has no kind for. At 1 TiB/month the billable unit is the rule count and the monthly fee, not a byte allowance. |
| Identity | card A Gcore account at auth.gcore.com. The trial is 2 days and the paid plan follows on the same account; the signup form was not opened. |
| Egress | No byte allowance is published for the trial; the paid plan is EUR 17 per month with rules priced by count; ingress: tcp+udp free allowance: none published |
| Interface | rest Portal at portal.gcore.com; the product onboards from an IP and port. |
| Tooling | portal configuration of a proxy rule, no agent |
| Composes with | Fronts a public origin by IP and port; with a free VM as the origin it would give that VM a UDP port for two days, then cost EUR 17/month. |
| Reliability | Trial expires in 2 days; the paid plan bills per proxy rule band. |
| Notes | The only provider that sells exactly what Cloudflare Spectrum sells, arbitrary TCP and UDP on a chosen port, and the only one whose free window is measured in days. Included as the price reference point: EUR 17/month is what this class costs when it is not free. |
| Evidence note | documented The 2-day trial and the EUR 17 plan are on the product page read. The trial's byte allowance and its egress billing are not published there and would need the portal. |

| Free tier | no free plan: Cloud virtual machines start 'From €8.93/month' with free egress traffic unit unlimited; metered on none; No trial applies to Cloud virtual machines (third-party index); a balance of at least EUR 4 is needed to start. |
|---|---|
| Price | EUR 8.93 a month for the Standard entry plan, with free outgoing traffic; no per-TB price |
| Limits |
|
| Binding | none at 1 TiB a month no byte quota is published because outgoing traffic is free; the 200 Mbps port on the shared plan would carry about 65 TB a month, so neither fails first; a balance of at least EUR 4 is the entry floor |
| Identity | card the Gcore docs say a self-service account pays with a card or wallet, adding a card triggers a verification hold of about 1 EUR or 1 USD, and at least EUR 4 must be on the balance; the services agreement lets Gcore require KYC documents (not stated to apply to every self-service sign-up); the sign-up page is a login application and was not read |
| Egress | Outgoing traffic is free on virtual machines and no byte allowance is published; the cheapest shared plan lists unmetered transfer limited by port speed (200 Mbps) and fair use on a third-party index; inbound UDP is allowed by adding a custom security-group rule free allowance: none published |
| Interface | ssh SSH to the VPS public IPv4 address |
| Tooling | wg-quick or any VPN daemon inside the guest |
| Composes with | a low-priced origin with free outgoing traffic in 30+ regions; the wall is the account balance and the port speed, not a byte count |
| Reliability | unverified: services are suspended when payment fails from both the balance and the payment method; no throttle behaviour is stated on the pages read |
| Notes | A third-party index lists a shared Basic G2S 1 vCPU / 1 GB plan at EUR 0.71 a month excluding VAT plus EUR 2.11 for a separate IPv4 address; the vendor pages read show only the dedicated 'Standard' entry price of EUR 8.93. The existing Gcore Edge Proxy record is a different product. |
| Evidence note | documented free outgoing traffic, the entry price and the firewall behaviour are quoted from the vendor's own pages read on 2026-11-04; the Basic shared plan's port and price rest on a third-party index and are reported; no VM was ordered and no port was probed |
