Free tier
What the free Cloud Machine includes and how it differs.
1 min read Updated
What's included#
Every account can run up to 3 free machines on the Free plan:
| Resource | Free plan |
|---|---|
| vCPU | 0.25 (shared) |
| Memory | 256 MB |
| Disk | 3 GB |
| Bandwidth | 10 Mbps |
| Image | Alpine only |
| Region | a0 only |
Rules#
- Free machines never trigger the arrears ladder and are never suspended for balance.
- The power-on gate ignores them — an empty wallet still starts a free machine.
- Templates deploy on free machines only when the template's image and resource floors fit the plan.
- A "free" machine resized to a paid plan becomes a normal billable machine — the reverse does not apply.
