Free tier	The Starter plan is free forever with no time limit: 2 development environments on Encore Cloud, 1M tracing events a month, 7-day log and trace retention, 1 concurrent build. Applications hosted on Encore Cloud carry fair-use limits per application on every plan: 100,000 requests a day, 100,000 Pub/Sub messages a day, 1 GB of database storage, 1 GB of object storage, and cron jobs no more often than once an hour. unit requests; metered on wall-clock; perpetual-allowance

Composes with	100k requests a day of a free hosted Go or TypeScript API with 1 GB of managed Postgres behind it is a whole small service for nothing; the hourly-cron ceiling means a tighter loop has to move, and on Pro the compute moves for a user's own AWS account.
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	The unit is requests, not compute: Encore publishes no vCPU or memory allowance for the free hosted environment, so the shape is null rather than guessed. Candidates: (a) the free tier is local only; refuted, the fair-use limits are stated for environments hosted on Encore Cloud on every plan and Starter includes 2 dev environments there. (b) Starter cannot deploy to Encore Cloud; not established, since the page names deployment to your own cloud as a Pro feature without saying Starter is blocked from Encore Cloud hosting. That is the open question and it moves the verdict between qualifies and trial-only.
