Limits & watch-outs
- Hard cap: no overage charges and no add-on credits can be bought.
- If any project exceeds the cap, every project in the account pauses until the next cycle or an upgrade.
- 1 concurrent build; 1 free team member.
- The free plan is always free, with hard monthly limits that cannot be exceeded.
Best for
Small static sites where a hard monthly cap is a feature, not a bug.
What to watch
Since 2025-09-04 new accounts are on the credit system — the old 100 GB bandwidth / 300 build minutes are gone. If any project exceeds the cap, every project in the account pauses.
