Free tier	One Free Instance per organization: 512 MB of RAM, 0.1 vCPU, 2 GB of SSD, in Frankfurt or Washington D.C. only; not usable as a Worker Service, no custom scaling, no volumes. unit mixed; metered on wall-clock
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	one Free Instance per organization; 512 MB RAM / 0.1 vCPU / 2 GB SSD
Retention	no persistent storage: 'They can't be used with Volumes to add persistent storage to your services'
Egress	100 GB of outbound bandwidth a month free, then USD 0.04 per GB; the vendor says outbound bandwidth is not charged yet and will be announced before it is free_allowance: 100 GB price_per_tb: USD 40
Identity	card card required even for the free Instance; USD 29 pre-authorisation hold, released immediately or within 7 to 21 days depending on the issuer; a prorated Pro charge is taken at the same moment; debit accepted; prepaid is not stated
Limits	retention-clamped scales to zero after 1 hour without traffic, not configurable source write-gated no volumes on a Free Instance, so no state across a restart source per-object-cap 0.1 vCPU and 512 MB RAM, one Free Instance per organization source Koyeb's startup programme advertises 'up to $30k in credits', which is a separate application, not a signup grant.
Binding	retention-clamped one hour of silence and the process is gone; the 0.1 vCPU is second, because it cannot run anything that needs a core.
Interface	ssh git deploy, a public HTTPS endpoint, a CLI and an API
Tooling	the Koyeb CLI and API, Docker images, git deploy
Composes with	a free endpoint that scales to zero after an hour, with volumes disabled on free
Reliability	scale-to-zero is silent from the client's side, a request after an hour pays a cold start instead of an error; the pricing page carries the banner 'Koyeb is joining Mistral AI to Build The Future of AI Infrastructure', which puts the free tier's longevity in question
Notes	The corpus record carried identity kind 'email' with 'no card for the free Instance'. The pricing FAQ read today says the opposite, in a section titled 'Why does Koyeb require a credit card?'. The Scale-to-Zero documentation states the feature is 'currently in public preview', which is a second reason not to build a 03:00 job on it without a watchdog. PAYMENT CORRECTION 2026-10-24: the USD 29 hold, the prorated charge and the debit acceptance are all confirmed verbatim on the vendor's pricing FAQ. This is the largest published hold of the seventeen vendors checked, and it is on the free tier.
Evidence rung	documented Free Instance shape and the one-hour scale-to-zero quoted from the instances reference today; the card and the USD 29 hold from the pricing FAQ today. The corpus previously recorded 'no card', which the FAQ contradicts. \| Payment facts re-read on 2026-10-24: the card types, the hold and the identity gate each come from a first-party page quoted in evidence[].

Composes with	Koyeb TCP proxy carries SSH to another host; with no UDP it cannot carry WireGuard.
Reliability	Free Instance scales down to zero after 1 hour without traffic; TCP Proxy plus scale-to-zero "may lead to unexpected behavior".
Notes	Conflict worth naming: the Free Instance scales to zero after an hour idle, and the TCP Proxy is documented as incompatible with scale-to-zero. A free-tier TCP proxy is therefore expected to work only while something else keeps the service awake.
Evidence rung	documented UDP absence is stated by the product being named TCP Proxy; a probe would only restate it.
