Free tier	Free plan, quoted: 'up to 3 projects per account (2 in your first 48 hours) - apps run on bi.xs (0.6 vCPU - 512 MB) - managed Node, Python and PHP buildpacks only - up to 50 successful deployments per day per project - build artifacts up to 512 MB - 10 GB egress / month included (1 GB / day)'. Idle apps 'scale to zero' after '30 minutes' on Free. Paid Hobby is EUR 15 a month for bi.small '1 vCPU - 1.5 GB' and 'always-on: apps under traffic never sleep'. unit hours; metered on wall-clock; free-forever
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not applicable
Retention	a Free app sleeps after 30 minutes idle, and the vendor has announced a mandatory '4 hours out of every 24' rest window that will apply even under traffic.
Egress	Free row: 'apps run on bi.xs (0.6 vCPU - 512 MB)', 'managed Node, Python and PHP buildpacks only', '50 successful deployments per day per project', '10 GB egress / month included (1 GB / day)', quoted
Identity	email no card: the platform pricing row reads 'Free \| 0 EUR \| ... no credit card', so no payment method is taken on Free and no hold exists. The signup form's own fields are not described in any evidence row, so whether an email, phone number or ID document is required is unknown; kind kept as email without an evidence row stating it.

Composes with	a free Node, Python or PHP app that tolerates a 30-minute sleep plus an external waker gives a near-continuous endpoint without the EUR 15 Hobby fee; the 1 GB daily egress cap is the wall for anything that serves files.
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	Aggregator claim checked: free-for.dev says 'one 0.5 CPU / 1 GB RAM instance per project, 10 GB bandwidth, 10 successful deploys per day ... Apps sleep after 2 hours without traffic'. Three of those four claims are wrong against the vendor: the instance is 0.6 vCPU and 512 MB, the deploy cap is 50 a day, and the idle timer is 30 minutes, not 2 hours. Omitted by the aggregator: Dockerfile deploys are paid-only, and external uptime monitors are answered by the platform so they do not keep a Free app awake.
