- free tier: Up to NGN 500,000,000 of cloud credit across the Catalyst Program for startups and enterprises, and a separate Deploy program granting up to NGN 70,000 in credit for posting a deployment write-up. | unit: none | metered on: wall-clock | read on: 2026-10-22 | source: [1] | note: one-shot-credit
- per-object cap: not applicable | source: [1]

- egress: not stated | metered: no | source: [1]
- identity: institution | detail: institution: the application form requires 'Business Name' and 'Company Registration/Incorporation Number' alongside 'Work Email' and 'Phone Number', so the credit is closed to an individual. The separate NGN 70,000 Deploy credit is granted after posting a write-up and being selected, and its own signup fields are not in the evidence. No card, hold, debit or prepaid statement appears in any evidence row: unknown.
- interface: unknown
- limits:
  - write-gated (binding): The application form requires a Business Name and a Company Registration or Incorporation Number, so the credit is closed to an individual; the NGN 70,000 Deploy route is open in form but awarded by selection. [1]
- limits note: The application form requires a Business Name and a Company Registration or Incorporation Number, so the credit is closed to an individual; the NGN 70,000 Deploy route is open in form but awarded by selection.
- binding note: the same as limits note
- interface detail: inferred from the tooling the provider documents; not probed
- tooling: not stated
- composes with: NGN 500,000,000 spread across a cohort is a marketing budget rather than a per-user allowance, and the per-user figure is not published, so it cannot be composed into a plan.
- reliability: no reliability event recorded
- notes: The per-applicant amount is not published anywhere checked, which is the real finding: a NGN 500,000,000 programme with no stated per-account cap is not a quota, it is a fund. The NGN 70,000 Deploy credit is the only individually reachable piece and it is awarded by editorial selection.
