This free tier is a capped but genuinely usable starter offering: it includes hands-on labs and a small daily VM allowance, while the cheapest paid plan is Pro at about $8.33/month when annualized. Because the free plan covers only a narrow slice of the paid experience and keeps the VM quota tight, its practical value is roughly $2/month; no credit card is required to start.
