Free Tier Value
This free tier has real ongoing value because it includes a usable SSL gateway for low-traffic sites and anti-DDoS protection, plus metrics for the first month. Since the page does not show a concrete paid price for the gateway itself, the safest buyer-style estimate is a small but meaningful monthly value of about $2, reflecting a capped free offering rather than an uncapped plan; a credit card requirement is not stated.
