Free allowance: Free Tier for 12 months: 1,000 build minutes a month on the standard 4 vCPU / 8 GB instance, 5 GB of CDN storage, 15 GB a month of data transfer out, 500,000 server-side rendering requests and 100 GB-hours a month of SSR duration.
Verdict: triala time-boxed or one-time trial, not a recurring allowance
Cost: free tier
Identity: cardcard required, no phone
Binding limit: retention-clampedthe 12-month clock ends the allowance regardless of use, and the build instance is the only 4 vCPU / 8 GB shape, which makes the build minutes the useful part rather than the hosting.

Free tier	Free Tier for 12 months: 1,000 build minutes a month on the standard 4 vCPU / 8 GB instance, 5 GB of CDN storage, 15 GB a month of data transfer out, 500,000 server-side rendering requests and 100 GB-hours a month of SSR duration. After 12 months every line is metered, and new accounts since 2025-07-15 get up to USD 200 in credits on a free plan that lasts 6 months. unit GiB; metered on wall-clock; trial-12-month
Price	none stated
Limits	retention-clamped (binding) the 12-month clock ends the allowance regardless of use, and the build instance is the only 4 vCPU / 8 GB shape, which makes the build minutes the useful part rather than the hosting. source
Identity	card not published
Egress	no cost up to 5 GB stored on CDN, 15 GB per month data transfer out, 500,000 SSR requests per month, 100 GB-hours per month SSR duration, quoted
Retention	the 12-month clock ends the allowance regardless of use, and the build instance is the only 4 vCPU / 8 GB shape, which makes the build minutes the useful part rather than the hosting.
Interface	unknown inferred from the tooling the provider documents; not probed
Tooling	not stated
Composes with	100 GB-hours a month of SSR is the closest free analogue to a small always-on server, and 1,000 build minutes on 4 vCPU is a real build runner; both end at 12 months, so the composition is a one-year window to build and measure rather than a home.
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	The 100 GB-hours of SSR duration is the number worth having: at 1 GB of provisioned memory it is 100 hours of server-side render a month, roughly three hours a day, and it is the only hyperscaler allowance denominated in GB-hours. Inferred from AWS account creation, not read on this page. Open: whether the USD 200 credit and the 12-month Amplify tier can both be used, which the page implies but does not state.
Parsed numbers	retention-clamped 8 GB
