| Price | none stated |
| Limits |
|
| Identity | institution An OSI-licensed public repository at least six months old, with activity in the last 90 days, at least two active maintainers, a documented infrastructure need, and one traction signal (100 GitHub stars, 1,000 monthly downloads, three outside contributors, or 100 active community members). The cost is a public project with traction, not an identity document. |
| Egress | not stated |
| Interface | unknown inferred from the tooling the provider documents; not probed |
| Tooling | not stated |
| Composes with | One approval converts a small public project into a maximum-tier box with a paid SLA, which is the highest-value free compute in this batch. |
| Reliability | no reliability event recorded |
| Notes | The size is deliberately unknowable: 'maximum tier' with every resource 'set in your approval' means an approver decides, and 'the approval is the contract' says the page is not binding. The zero-filled cohort is the important number: it is a new programme, so no independent report of an approved seat exists yet, and the 99.9 percent commitment is a promise by a host with 46 Trustpilot reviews rather than a track record in this programme. |
