Credit card Not required
Feature parity 78%

This free tier is genuinely usable rather than a short trial: it includes 20 projects and monthly quotas for serverless compute, Redis, builds, logs, and async tasks, and the page does not indicate a credit card is required. Compared with the cheapest paid option, Hobby is $0 and Plus starts at $5.9/month, so the free tier looks worth roughly $8/month in practical value—about 40% of Plus—because it covers a meaningful amount of ongoing usage but still leaves out the higher-capacity and premium features.
