Free tier	TEE compute on workerpools paid per execution in RLC, split between the app provider, the data provider, the workerpool and gas. The free lane is testnet only: 'Get 5 RLC tokens per claim on Arbitrum Sepolia testnet', with GitHub authentication, a 24-hour cooldown and 'Balance verification (max 1 RLC)'. unit none; metered on wall-clock; testnet-faucet
Price	none stated

Retention	not applicable

Identity	email a GitHub account is the gate on the free lane: the faucet documentation states "Get 5 RLC tokens per claim on Arbitrum Sepolia testnet" with GitHub authentication, a 24-hour cooldown and a balance check capped at 1 RLC, and the tokens buy testnet executions only. Mainnet capacity needs RLC bought on an exchange, and the record does not state whether that purchase or the mainnet account requires KYC, a phone or an identity document; no card, hold, debit or prepaid statement appears
Limits	write-gated The faucet pays 5 RLC per claim with a 24-hour cooldown and a wallet balance check capped at 1 RLC, and the tokens buy only Arbitrum Sepolia executions, so no production job can run on the free lane. source The faucet pays 5 RLC per claim with a 24-hour cooldown and a wallet balance check capped at 1 RLC, and the tokens buy only Arbitrum Sepolia executions, so no production job can run on the free lane.

Interface	unknown inferred from the tooling the provider documents; not probed
Tooling	not stated
Composes with	A workerpool order with all price fields at 0 accepts only free resources, so a testnet run can be assembled at zero token cost; the same setting on mainnet finds no worker, because no provider serves for nothing.
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	iExec is the cheapest TEE execution lane found here only if a provider publishes a 0-price order; none was found. Mainnet capacity needs RLC bought on an exchange. Whether the Sepolia workerpool has live workers was not tested; that needs a funded testnet wallet and an order match.

2026-10-22	docs.iex.ec/get-started/tooling-and-explorers/faucet	read directly: 'Get 5 RLC tokens per claim on Arbitrum Sepolia testnet', GitHub authentication, 24-hour cooldown, balance verification with a max of 1 RLC, testnet only
2026-10-22	docs.iex.ec/guides/use-iapp/how-to-pay-executions	four cost components per execution: app fee, data fee, workerpool fee and gas, all in nRLC; default max prices are 0, which accepts only free resources
2026-10-22	api.coingecko.com/api/v3/simple/price?ids=iexec-rlc&vs_curre	RLC USD 0.657628, so a 5 RLC claim is about USD 3.29 of testnet token with no market value
