This repository is a curated list of Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offerings that provide free tiers, specifically targeting infrastructure and DevOps professionals. It aims to save developers time by consolidating these valuable free resources, enabling them to make informed decisions about adopting new services.

How It Works

The project functions as a community-driven, opinionated list compiled through pull requests and contributions from over 1600 individuals. It focuses on "as-a-Service" offerings, excluding self-hosted software. Eligibility criteria include a persistent free tier (not just a free trial), a minimum one-year duration for time-bucketed free tiers, and a commitment to not restricting essential features like TLS to paid tiers.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Installation: No installation required; it's a curated list.
• Requirements: Access to a web browser.
• Links:
  • free-for.dev
  • Major Cloud Providers' Always-Free Limits

Highlighted Details

• Comprehensive categorization of services, from major cloud providers to niche tools like AI, DNS, and testing.
• Detailed breakdown of free tier limits for major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle, IBM).
• Extensive coverage of APIs, data services, and machine learning offerings.

Maintenance & Community

• Actively maintained through community contributions via pull requests.
• Over 1600 contributors.

Licensing & Compatibility

• The repository itself is likely under a permissive license (e.g., MIT, Apache) as it's a list. Specific service licenses are not detailed here but would need to be checked individually.
• Compatibility for commercial use depends on the individual services listed, not the repository itself.

Limitations & Caveats

The list is opinionated and may not include every available free tier. Users must individually verify the terms and conditions of each listed service, as free tier offerings can change.
