Free tier	trial credits exist and the amount is not published. The vendor's own billing article states 'Once your trial credits are used up, any additional charges will be billed to the card attached to your account', and the onboarding articles require an SSH public key, a verified phone number and a valid credit card before an instance launches. unit none; metered on wall-clock; trial-credit

Identity	card card plus phone plus an SSH key: 'Make sure to upload an SSH key, besides verifying your phone number and adding a valid credit card. Once this is done, your basic setup is done'. Charges after the trial are 'billed to the card attached to your account on the first of each month'. SEPA Direct Debit in EUR is accepted 'alongside cards and wire transfers', so a direct-debit rail exists; prepaid is not stated, and no authorisation or hold amount appears in the evidence: unknown.

Composes with	the prepaid balance lasts up to three years, which makes Genesis a place to park a balance rather than a credit to spend quickly; the trial credit itself is short-lived and unquantified.
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	The amount is the open question and it is left null rather than guessed. A vendor blog post from 2022 states USD 15 on signup; referral sites in 2026 advertise USD 100 through a referral link. Neither is a current vendor page, so neither is recorded as the amount. The GPU rate table on genesiscloud.com/pricing did not render through two extraction routes, so no rate is recorded and no GPU-hours are derivable. What would settle it: one signup, or the console's billing page.
