| Identity | email (placeholder) unverified: no page stating the signup requirement was read; the record's evidence covers the prepaid wallet terms ('USD 0 / month - No subscription, top up from USD 5'), the per-vCPU and per-GiB metering, the reserved-box prices, and the USD 5 signup credit, and states nothing about what creating the account asks for. The word prepaid in that evidence describes the credit wallet, not prepaid card acceptance |

| Notes | Aggregator claim checked: free-for.dev says 'Free tier: the Starter plan runs everything on one instance in your own AWS account, no credit card needed (you pay AWS for the instance)'. That description is stale. The vendor now sells its own metered compute with a prepaid wallet, and the AWS bring-your-own-account arrangement is no longer on the site. The USD 5 signup credit is the only free capacity, and it is a one-off, not a monthly grant. |
