Composes with	an Elixir or Phoenix app plus a 10,000-row Postgres on one free tier is a complete small backend with no charge; the free replica publishes no vCPU number, so sizing it needs a run rather than a table.
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	Aggregator claim checked: free-for.dev says 'one free instance that never sleeps and a free-tier PostgreSQL database limited to 2 connections, 10,000 rows'. The 'never sleeps' half is wrong: the vendor table says Free 'Sleeps after 30 days' of no deploy and only Standard never sleeps. The aggregator omits the card requirement at signup, which is the identity cost that decides whether this is reachable. vCPU is not published for the free replica and is null rather than guessed.
