Workers Free has a daily request cap and per-invocation CPU time cap, not continuously running server compute. Pages Functions use the same Workers quota; paid Worker plans have different billing and higher limits.

Requires an active Cloud Billing account and valid payment method. The request-based Free Tier differs from instance-based billing; Cloud Build, Artifact Registry, logging, network egress and other products may charge separately. Paid billing accounts are charged for usage beyond the free allowance; a Free Trial account draws from its limited trial credit.

Only SQLite-backed Durable Objects can be created on Workers Free; key-value-backed objects are unavailable. SQLite storage has additional daily row-read/write limits (5M reads and 100K writes), and Free limits reset at 00:00 UTC; exceeding them causes errors. Workers request and CPU quotas also apply.

AWS Lambda Functions on-demand free allowance does not cover all Lambda modes or related AWS services. Usage above the monthly quotas and other AWS products can incur charges. Payment card requirement varies by AWS account enrollment.

Free grant applies only to paid Consumption subscriptions. The required storage account, network usage, monitoring and other Azure resources can be billed separately. Over-quota use is billed; a payment card is normally required at Azure signup. Linux Consumption hosting retires September 2028.

Usage beyond either free allowance is billed automatically at published usage-based rates; Fastly signup requires a credit card for verification. Other products, data transfer and optional features may incur charges. Legacy pre-2026-03-31 Compute development trials are separate; confirm production and commercial-use terms before deployment.

Requires an Azure subscription and a supported payment method for standard signup; usage above monthly grants is billed. Idle replicas, networking, logs and other Azure services may incur charges. Set minimum replicas to zero to avoid idle compute charges; dedicated plans are separate.

Starter is $0/month plus metered usage: compute above $30/month and services outside the compute credit (including Shared Endpoints tokens) incur charges. Configure a workspace budget to control spending. Card requirement and unrestricted commercial use on Starter need confirmation.

Requires an existing self-managed Kubernetes cluster and ongoing compute, networking, storage and operations costs. This is software for running your own functions, not a hosted FaaS free allowance; external services and infrastructure may charge separately.

Requires a self-managed Kubernetes cluster, compatible networking/ingress and compute capacity; infrastructure, storage, logging and operations can cost money. This is not a hosted cloud free tier. Knative Eventing and Functions are separate components with their own setup.

You operate and pay for compute, containers, orchestration, persistent services, logs, security and backups. OpenWhisk deployment requires platform configuration; any third-party cloud infrastructure and connected services are billed separately.

Requires a self-managed Docker host or Kubernetes cluster, image builds and registry, secure network configuration and operations; compute/GPU/storage and infrastructure are not included. Commercial managed Nuclio services are separate.

Requires an existing Kubernetes cluster, compatible metrics/event sources and operating capacity; worker nodes, cloud event services and monitoring can incur charges. KEDA is an autoscaling component, not a hosted function runtime.

Requires self-managed Kubernetes and supporting build, event and runtime components (including dependencies such as Dapr); compute, networking, registries and third-party event sources may cost extra. CNCF Sandbox project; no managed free cloud hosting is included.

Apache Incubator project; production deployment requires a suitably provisioned Kubernetes cluster and the bundled services need their own storage and operations; hosting costs are not included.

Self-hosted software only: requires your own Docker/Podman host, container registry for nonlocal deployments, storage, security updates and operations. No free managed cloud execution, infrastructure or support is included.

Requires a Kubernetes cluster and container build/deployment infrastructure; hosting, networking, observability and third-party integration costs are separate. This is self-managed serverless integration, not a free managed cloud function allowance.

Requires a compatible Kubernetes cluster, Spin runtime components and infrastructure capacity; compute, networking and storage are not included. This is not a managed free cloud tier.

Requires own compute/cluster and optional NATS, OCI registry and ingress infrastructure. Host resources and external services may incur charges; separate from any managed cloud provider tier.

Pay-as-you-go overages billed automatically; provisioned warm instances billed separately; requires a valid payment card to order resources.

Monthly free allocations renew; applications, functions, jobs and builds share compute quotas; pay-as-you-go overages are charged and an IBM Cloud billing card is required.

Free usage is metered on allocated CPU/RAM; overages and always-on provisioning can incur charges. A valid payment card is required.

Consumption above free allowances is billed monthly; LLM and container compute have zero free allowance. Atlassian's pricing FAQ asks for billing details, while Developer Space billing docs allow continued within-free usage without a payment method; confirm account requirements. Applies to Forge apps, not standalone serverless hosting.

Nitric is developer software, not a free hosted compute allowance. Deployed functions, databases, buckets, networks and cloud provider resources incur their own costs; a cloud account may require billing details. Plugin/provider compatibility and runtime quotas depend on the selected infrastructure.

Spin OSS is not a free managed cloud deployment. Running production apps requires your own infrastructure and operational work; Fermyon Cloud and other providers have separate plans and usage limits. Language toolchains, databases, registries and cloud resources may cost extra. Distinct from SpinKube and Fermyon Cloud Starter.

Run Dapr sidecars and supporting components on infrastructure you operate. Kubernetes/VMs, message brokers, databases and managed cloud integrations can incur charges; this is not a vendor-hosted free compute tier.

SST software is free, not hosted compute. AWS/Cloudflare and other provider resources, storage, networking and optional SST Console usage can incur charges; provider accounts and billing may be required. License applies to the framework, not third-party infrastructure.

The free CLI is not free AWS hosting: sam deploy, Lambda, API Gateway, CloudFormation-related resources, networking and logs may incur AWS charges and may require a billing account; local Docker and compute are your responsibility.

Self-hosting requires your own Kubernetes, domain, TLS, compute, database and storage. Official deployment scripts are marked development-only and not production-ready; hosted Laf/Sealos usage is not included.

Chalice is free local developer software, NOT free AWS hosting. Deploying creates AWS Lambda, API Gateway and potentially S3/SQS/SNS resources with independent AWS quotas, billing and account requirements; card may be required by AWS. Review IAM permissions and service costs.

This is the self-hosted runtime, NOT the managed Cloudflare Workers free tier or a complete hosted edge platform. You supply and pay for servers, orchestration, storage and networking; some managed Workers platform features are not included.

Zappa itself runs locally and is free; AWS Lambda, API Gateway, S3, CloudWatch and other deployed resources may incur charges and require an AWS billing account/card. Default generated IAM execution policies can be broad; review least-privilege permissions before production.

This entry covers the open-source framework, not free hosted compute. Self-hosted production deployments require user-managed cloud, databases, networking and operations; Encore's managed platform, Pro automation and underlying AWS/GCP resources can incur charges. MPL-2.0 file-level copyleft obligations apply.

Hono is a framework, not a hosted free serverless account. Cloudflare Workers, AWS Lambda, Fastly, Vercel, CI, bandwidth and databases may bill separately; each deployment provider sets its own quotas, signup/card and overage terms. Preserve MIT notices.

Nitro does not provide free hosted compute, domains, bandwidth, CI or databases; cloud/serverless provider billing and overage policies apply. The upstream main branch documents Nitro v3 while Nitro v2 remains the current stable line; check version compatibility and runtime adapters.

This is build/deployment tooling, NOT free Cloudflare hosting or unlimited Workers requests. Cloudflare Workers accounts, compute, bandwidth, storage and paid overages are governed by separate Cloudflare plans; retain MIT license notice.

A payment method is required to create resources. The recurring free allowance does not roll over; excess compute is billed at $0.0000185/GiB-second automatically. App Platform bandwidth and other resources may incur separate charges. The $5 signup credit expires after 90 days and is not part of this ongoing allowance. Card-specific and commercial-use terms are not independently confirmed.

Twilio's initial trial expires after 30 days; continuing afterward requires upgrading to a billing-enabled pay-as-you-go account. The monthly free Functions allowance is separate from the expiring trial. Excess invocations are charged automatically, and other Twilio communication services may be billed separately. Card requirement for continued use and explicit commercial-use permission are not independently confirmed.
