Free tier	USD 0 forever: 25 compute hours a month, 1 GB maximum RAM, 1 CPU, 1 hour maximum execution, 25 projects and 3 concurrent projects unit hours; metered on wall-clock; The only provider that publishes a monthly compute-hour counter.
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not applicable: the unit is a session, not an object
Retention	25 projects persist on the free plan; the pricing page states no expiry
Egress	no egress allowance or price published
Identity	email a Posit Cloud account; the plans page states no card for Cloud Free
Limits	volume-quota 25 compute hours per month, then the plan stops source volume-quota 1 hour maximum execution per run source
Binding	volume-quota 25 hours a month is four hours a week, and the 1-hour execution cap means no single job can use even one day of it
Interface	rest, cli RStudio and Jupyter projects in a browser
Tooling	the web IDE; project files and a console
Composes with	25 hours a month of 1 GB R or Python for small scripted jobs, capped at one hour per execution
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	1 GB RAM is the smallest shape. The 1-hour execution cap rules it out for anything long, and 25 hours a month is the tightest published allowance after Binder.
Evidence rung	documented every number is from the vendor's plan table read today. Nothing was run, so enforcement is unproven.
