# FreeTier.co > An independent, continuously-updated directory of 424 cloud, SaaS, and developer-tool offerings with meaningful free tiers. Every listing carries a Free Tier Value (FTV) score from 0-100 and an estimated dollar-per-month equivalent so builders can compare free plans without crawling vendor pricing pages themselves. FreeTier.co is not affiliated with any of the vendors it lists. No affiliate links, no sponsorships, no paid placement. FTV scores are editorial. ## Core concepts - [FTV methodology](https://freetier.co/ftv): how the 0-100 Free Tier Value score is calculated from durability, generosity, friction, and feature parity. - [About](https://freetier.co/about): mission and editorial principles. - [FAQ](https://freetier.co/faq): common questions about free tiers, trials, credits, and how to avoid surprise bills. - [Top 10](https://freetier.co/top): current leaders by FTV score and by estimated dollar value. - [Full directory](https://freetier.co/directory/products): all 424 products. - [Articles](https://freetier.co/articles): long-form guides and comparisons. - [Articles RSS](https://freetier.co/articles.xml): RSS 2.0 feed for new articles. - [Full catalogue (compact)](https://freetier.co/llms-full.txt): compact text dump of every listing with FTV data. ## Listing types - [Always free](https://freetier.co/directory/types/always-free): 29 products.
