Interface	git, cli self-hosted server plus runners; the maintained successor is Woodpecker
Tooling	the drone runner binaries
Composes with	use Woodpecker instead; it is the maintained fork of the same design
Reliability	the commercial hosted product was discontinued; development moved to the Woodpecker fork
Notes	Recorded so that a search for 'Drone free tier' lands on the fork rather than on a dead product.

Free tier	No free hosted runner exists. cloud.drone.io answers HTTP 200 but has had account registration disabled since April 2022, and the product is now Harness Open Source, an end-to-end developer platform the caller installs and runs. Quoted from the Drone support forum thread titled 'User registration is disabled on cloud.drone.io', opened 13 April 2022: a user reports 'Unable to register with my github account on cloud.drone.io'. unit none; metered on wall-clock; none-hosted
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not applicable
Retention	not applicable
Egress	not stated
Identity	institution not published
Limits	write-gated The missing hosted service fails first: there is no registration path, so the capacity is zero for a client with no hardware, and the only way to use Drone is to run the server and agents on machines the client does not have. source The missing hosted service fails first: there is no registration path, so the capacity is zero for a client with no hardware, and the only way to use Drone is to run the server and agents on machines the client does not have.

Interface	unknown inferred from the tooling the provider documents; not probed
Tooling	not stated
Composes with	None. It is a piece of software that needs a machine.
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	Recorded as paid-only rather than dead because the software is alive and maintained; what is gone is the hosted lane, and the two lead a reader to different decisions. This is the case the corpus's own rule is written for: a provider whose software is fine and whose free hosted capacity does not exist. The 2022 forum date is also the staleness warning: a 200 on the domain would have read as live to any check that did not look for a registration path.

2026-10-22	cloud.drone.io	HTTP 200 with a Cloudflare front, and no registration route; the 200 is exactly the case the corpus warns about, since a live front end proves the domain resolves and not that a service is offered
2026-10-22	drone.discourse.group/t/user-registration-is-disabled-on-clo	'Unable to register with my github account on cloud.drone.io', posted 13 April 2022, and the thread title is the maintainers' own statement of the state
2026-10-22	www.drone.io/	'Drone is a self-service Continuous Integration platform for busy development teams' with pipelines running in containers; the site sells the software and offers no hosted tier
2026-10-22	api.github.com/repos/harness/drone	the repository now describes Harness Open Source as 'an end-to-end developer platform with Source Control Management, CI/CD Pipelines, Hosted Developer Environments, and Artifact Registries', last pushed 2026-10-22
