Free Tier Value
This free tier is a capped Hobby plan, not an uncapped forever-free offer, and the page does not say a credit card is unnecessary. Compared with the $99 Starter plan, it gives one private app, one-person access, community support, and enough build credits for a small project a few times per month, so it feels like roughly one-third of the cheapest paid plan’s value — about $33/month.
What's included in the free tier
- Access to one private app.
- Access for a team of one.
- Enough build credits for a small project a few times per month.
- Community support via Slack or Discuss forum.
- Linux Medium and macOS Medium build machines.
- Unlimited public apps.
- Build timeout up to 90 minutes.
- 300 credits per month.
