Free Tier Value
This free tier is a real, perpetual starter plan with meaningful caps: 1 GB of storage and 200 GB of bandwidth, plus the core publishing and community features. The cheapest paid plan is $5/month for 50 GB and 3000 GB, so the free tier delivers roughly 2% of the paid storage and about 7% of the paid bandwidth; that makes it worth about $1/month. A credit card is not called out as required for signup, and the offer is capped rather than unlimited, which keeps the value well below the paid plan.
