About & method

Free Tier Watch is a verified directory of genuinely free cloud tiers. We exist because free tiers change silently: Oracle cut its Always Free compute from 4 OCPU / 24 GB to 2 OCPU / 12 GB in June 2026 with no announcement, and over-limit instances were terminated from August 2026.

How we verify

• Official pages only. Every number on this site comes from the provider's own pricing or documentation page, linked from each entry.
• Dated. Each entry shows its last verification date. If we cannot confirm a number, we say so instead of guessing.
• Dead means dead. When a free tier is removed or replaced by a trial, we mark it and hide it from the default view.
• No copying. We do not copy other directories. Entries are written from the official source, in our own words.

What we cannot verify

We cannot test signup flows or real-world availability — that needs an account, a phone number, or a payment method, which we do not use on your behalf. Treat “free on the pricing page” as a starting point, and check the provider's terms before you build on it.

Change alerts

Free tiers change often, so the most useful feature of this directory is the change alert. The alert system is not live yet — join the waitlist on any page and we will email you when it launches. We will only email about free-tier changes.
