Free tier	100 GB total per workspace; 10,000 files; NO expiry ('暂时没有有效期限制' — no validity-period limit for now). Per-file: 150 MB for purpose=file-extract, 500 MB for purpose=batch, 300 MB for fine-tune, 50 MB for the newer Agent Studio endpoint. unit objects; metered on unstated
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	Per-file: 150 MB (150000000 bytes)
Retention	not stated
Egress	No metered egress on file retrieval. The legacy get-file endpoint returns a pre-signed aliyuncs.com OSS URL, i.e. served from Alibaba OSS rather than a billed gateway.
Identity	any-phone any-phone
Limits	write-gated review status (`checking` -> `available`/`rejected`) before they can be referenced source per-object-cap Per-file: 150 MB source per-object-cap 150 MB (file-extract) / 500 MB (batch). 100 GB workspace byte cap and 10,000-file count cap, whichever hits first. Files enter a safety-review status (`checking` -> `available`/`rejected`) before they can be referenced.
Binding	per-object-cap the per-object cap sets the shard size and therefore the object count; it bounds the total more tightly than any headline quota
Interface	unknown OpenAI-compatible: base_url https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1 with the openai SDK; also https://dashscope-intl.aliyuncs.com for international, and https://maas.qwencloudapi.com/compatible-mode/v1 for the Singapore QwenCloud brand
Tooling	openai-python with a swapped base_url; curl multipart; documented endpoints upload/retrieve/list/delete plus GET /files/{file_id}/content
Composes with	100 GB per workspace, and workspaces are a creatable dimension. 'Never expire' is the whole point: this is the only major /v1/files endpoint found that gives permanent retention on the free tier. At 500 MB/batch file, 10,000 files = 5 TB of nominal slots against a 100 GB byte wall — the byte wall binds.
Reliability	TWO CONTRADICTORY READ PATHS depending on which generation of the API you use. The NEW Agent Studio `GET /files/{file_id}/content` documents 'only files with downloadable=true can be downloaded; files uploaded directly or copied into a session sandbox are downloadable=false and return 400' — a read gate. The file-list example on the same doc set literally shows `"downloadable": false` on a directly uploaded CSV. But the LEGACY `GET /api/v1/files/{file_id}` returns a signed OSS `url` in the metadata, which is a real read path. The docs say the legacy interface is 'mainly for compatibility with historical scenarios', so its survival is not guaranteed — probe the legacy path before relying on it. Alibaba Cloud international registration is email + mobile (any-phone); Chinese-mainland identity verification (passport/driver's licence) is only required for products deployed in mainland China.
Notes	100 GB total per workspace; 10,000 files; NO expiry ('暂时没有有效期限制' — no validity-period limit for now). Per-file: 150 MB for purpose=file-extract, 500 MB for purpose=batch, 300 MB for fine-tune, 50 MB for the newer Agent Studio endpoint.
Evidence rung	reported One page read moves it to documented.

Free tier	A CNY 300 no-threshold voucher quoted as 通过学生认证的高校学生，可领取300元云工开物学生专属优惠券, plus access to a student compute package across thirteen instance shapes. The credit is real and large for this market; the door is the finding. unit none; metered on wall-clock; one-time-credit
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not applicable
Retention	not applicable
Egress	not stated
Identity	institution Verification requires full-time enrolment at a mainland Chinese higher-education institution, checked against the national student register , on an account that has already passed Alipay real-name certification. One account per identity card, and the student status expires every 30 days and must be re-verified. The vendor states that students in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan go through manual review instead, so the general route is closed to anyone not enrolled in a Chinese institution.
Binding	none Nothing throttles the voucher itself, but the status lapses after 30 days and the account cannot be re-verified after graduation, so the credit is a one-shot that cannot be renewed by waiting.
Interface	unknown inferred from the tooling the provider documents; not probed
Tooling	not stated
Composes with	If the client ever holds an enrolled affiliate, this is the single largest no-card cloud credit found in the Chinese market and it stacks with the student priced instances, which are sold separately from the voucher.
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	This is the refutation case: CNY 300 with no threshold is the headline number every Chinese blog repeats, and the gate is a national student register rather than an email domain. dossier/compute/ holds alibaba-cloud-international.json and alibaba-ecs.json but no student programme record, so the corpus previously had no way to answer this question either way.
