Identityemail no card: 'Flux Free is free forever with hard caps and never bills overage, so you can build and learn without a card', so no payment method is taken 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.

Interfacerest inferred from the tooling the provider documents; not probed
Toolingnot stated
Composes withA no-card platform in Lagos with 10 projects and 100 GB is a place to land an API service whose users are in West Africa, which is the one thing a European or American free tier cannot give: a short path to the audience, with the inference endpoint on the same host removing a second vendor from the chain.
Reliabilityno reliability event recorded
NotesAfrica's answer to the free-PaaS tier, and the first one that is free rather than a trial: a07-regional already records GoCloud (USD 300 credits, Lagos) and Savannaa (750 hours of t2.micro for 12 months) as trials, and this is the perpetual complement to both. Three more Nigerian and South African candidates were read and are thinner: Zanode (Cape Town) offers a card-free trial with 3 projects, one managed PostgreSQL and 10 GB of bandwidth, HostNowNow's sibling products bundle a free tier with the paid ones, and Ping Africa bills in KES from 500 a month with no free lane. Not established: the per-project memory and CPU cap on Flux Free, which the product page does not state.
