Mission
FreeTier.co exists to help developers, startups, and hobbyists find and compare the genuinely useful free resources offered across cloud providers and software services.
We believe everyone should have access to powerful tools without cost barriers, especially when learning new technologies or bootstrapping projects. The directory is a curated reference - not an affiliate funnel.
What's different
We focus on substantial free offerings with real value, not vanishing trials. Every listing is classified (always free, free tier, intro tier, free credit, free trial), scored with our Free Tier Value (FTV) system, and refreshed periodically so what you see reflects current pricing.
- Coverage of major cloud providers - AWS, GCP, Azure - alongside developer tooling and SaaS.
- Each listing reviewed and re-checked periodically, not auto-scraped once and forgotten.
- The paid plans are surfaced on each product page so you can compare the free offering to what's above it without clicking through.
- Ranked top 10s, type-specific pages, and full category and company browsing.
Keeping current
Vendors change their free offerings regularly. We monitor those changes and update entries to reflect current reality - if a tier gets cut or expanded, the listing and its FTV score shift the next time we look.
Community contributions are welcome - if something looks stale or you want to suggest a service, get in touch.
Team
FreeTier.co was built by developers who were frustrated by how scattered information about free cloud resources had become. The team comes from software development, cloud infrastructure, and technical writing.
