About
LocalOps is an internal developer platform that provisions, deploys, monitors, scales, and secures services on a customer’s AWS, GCP, or Azure account from a single control plane. It connects to GitHub or GitLab, uses keyless cloud roles, and supports deployments for web services, workers, internal services, jobs, and cron workloads without YAML, Helm charts, or Terraform.
The free offering covers up to 12 vCPU and 24 GB RAM managed in the customer’s cloud account, which is roughly two environments such as staging and production. The platform includes unlimited users, standard support, built-in observability, and support for Kubernetes on EKS, GKE, and AKS; paid usage starts beyond the free resource allowance.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is genuinely usable because it includes the core platform features, unlimited users, and standard support, but it is still capped at 12 vCPU and 24 GB RAM. The page’s own calculator shows the same managed footprint would cost about $114/month once you go beyond the free allowance, so that is a reasonable monthly value for the free tier; no credit card is required to start, and the offer is free forever but not uncapped.
