Beanstalk's free allowance is an intro tier: new accounts get a larger allowance that steps down to a smaller permanent free tier after the intro period. The free plan includes access for 1 user, access for 1 repository, and 100 MB of storage.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is a capped starter offer, not an unlimited plan: it includes one user, one repository, and 100 MB of storage, and no credit card is required. Compared with the cheapest paid plan at $15/month, it delivers a small but real slice of the product’s core capability, so it’s worth about $3/month—roughly 20% of Bronze’s price.
What's included in the free tier
- Access for 1 user.
