About

Free Tier Value
This free tier is genuinely usable for small projects: it includes one deployment server, one static site, limited deployments, modest traffic, backups, metrics, and build minutes. Compared with the $23/month Developer plan, it delivers roughly a third of the cheapest paid plan’s practical capacity, so about $8/month is a fair estimate. No credit card is required, and the offer is perpetual but capped, which keeps the value well below the paid tiers.
