Credit card Not required
Feature parity 20%

This free offer is a one-time signup credit rather than a recurring monthly allowance, so it shouldn’t be treated like a monthly free tier. The page says no payment card is required, which lowers friction, but the value depends on how much of the credit is consumed and there’s no published dollar amount to convert into a monthly equivalent.

What's included in the free tier

  • Free credits on signup to try Clever Cloud without a payment card.
