- url https://www.instacloud.com/pricing
- free tier: $10 of usage credit a month that refreshes, with up to 4 vCPU, 4 GB of RAM and 1 GB of volume per service; a project pauses when the credit runs out and resumes next cycle | unit: mixed | metered on: wall-clock | read on: 2026-10-22 | source: [1]
- per-object cap: not stated | source: [1]
- retention: not stated | source: [1] | note: not stated

- identity: email
- interface: cli, rest
- limits:
  - request-rate (binding): $10 of usage credit a month, refreshing; $0.00000772 a vCPU-second [1]
  - per-object-cap: up to 4 vCPU, 4 GB of RAM and 1 GB of volume per service [1]
  - retention-clamped: a project pauses when the credit runs out and resumes in the next cycle, so exhaustion is a pause rather than a delete [1]
- limits note: not stated
- interface detail: the insta CLI (interactive login or an API token) and the InstaCloud REST API authenticated with an insta_ token
- tooling: the insta CLI, which a coding agent can also drive
- composes with: the same as limits note
- reliability: no reliability event recorded
- evidence note: the pricing page was read on 2026-10-22 and states the monthly credit, the per-service caps and the pause-on-exhaustion behaviour. The credit recurs, which makes it a tier, and the pause is the state answer

  - shape.vcpu: 4
  - shape.ram: 4
  - shape.disk: 1
  - shape.note: the ceiling per service on the free tier
