Notes	Aggregator claim checked: dalisoft/awesome-hosting lists podway as 'Mini (4 USD/m) - no trial - 1 app free'. The vendor agrees on the price and makes the free app explicit but attaches it to early access, so the arrangement is promotional and can end; that is why the pod counts here as a real free allowance and not as a permanent one. Not established: whether the free pod can run an arbitrary container, which the app catalogue suggests it cannot.
