- `compute/hostim-dev` | trial-only | evidence documented | binding none | category platform host

- url https://hostim.dev/pricing/
- free tier: No perpetual free tier; a 5-day trial without a card, then a flat price per resource. Quoted: 'shared app plans are EUR 2.50 (1 vCPU / 1 GB), EUR 4.50 (2 / 2 GB), EUR 7.50 (3 / 4 GB) and EUR 13.50 (4 vCPU / 8 GB)', billed 'hourly with a 1-hour minimum', and 'every project includes a free Postgres (256 MB), MySQL (256 MB), Redis (128 MB) and a 1 GB volume'. | unit: GiB | metered on: wall-clock | read on: 2026-10-22 | source: [1] | note: trial
- per-object cap: not applicable | source: [1]
- retention: not applicable | source: [1]
- egress: No usage-based billing is claimed: 'no per-request, per-build-minute, or bandwidth-overage charges'. | metered: no | source: [1]
- identity: email | detail: no card for the trial: the pricing page states 'New accounts get a 5-day trial with no credit card required'. No hold exists on the trial because no payment method is taken. The signup form is not quoted, so the email requirement is inferred rather than read, and debit and prepaid acceptance are not stated; a card enters only when a paid plan is bought.
- interface: cli
- limits note: the wall is that the resource must be stopped by hand, because billing runs per hour with a one-hour minimum.
- binding note: the same as limits note
- interface detail: Web console and the hostim CLI (usable from CI), documented on the getting-started page; the CLI is a thin client over the public REST API at api.hostim.dev.
- tooling: hostim CLI (open source, installed with a shell script; `hostim agent` prints its manual); the REST API at api.hostim.dev directly.
- composes with: a flat EUR 2.50 for 1 vCPU and 1 GB, billed by the hour with a one-hour minimum, is the cheapest always-on western-European app host found; a three-hour job costs about EUR 0.01, and the free 256 MB Postgres comes with the project.
- reliability: no reliability event recorded
- notes: Aggregator claim checked: dalisoft/awesome-hosting lists Hostim under lambda as 'sa-1-1 (EUR 2.5/m) - 5-Day trial - no free tier'. The vendor's own page agrees and adds the plan ladder, which the aggregator compresses to one entry. No usage-based billing is claimed: 'no per-request, per-build-minute, or bandwidth-overage charges'.
