Free tier	KRW 300,000 of credit to a new account that registers a payment method and is approved: '가입만 하시면, 30만 크레딧을 바로 드립니다'. The credit is one per account, valid three months, and usable on every product. GPU Server and Bare Metal Server need prior arrangement through a console enquiry before use. unit none; metered on wall-clock; signup-credit

Identity	card a payment method plus a vendor approval: the credit is granted on registering a payment method (the account application step), after signup and console login, followed by an approval mail and then the credit, so the gate is a manual approval on top of the payment method rather than a signup form. No authorisation or hold amount is stated, and whether the payment method may be a debit or prepaid card is not stated: unknown. GPU Server and Bare Metal Server need a 1:1 console enquiry first.
Limits	write-gated The credit arrives only after an account application and a payment-method registration are approved by the vendor, so the gate is a manual approval rather than a signup form; the credit also expires in three months, which is what limits how much of it can be spent on a slow-building workload. source The credit arrives only after an account application and a payment-method registration are approved by the vendor, so the gate is a manual approval rather than a signup form; the credit also expires in three months, which is what limits how much of it can be spent on a slow-building workload.

Notes	This changes an existing record: dossier/compute/samsung-cloud.json carries Samsung SDS as paid-only with no free tier, and the vendor's own promotion page contradicts that. The page found is a 2023 event page (the prize draw ran 2023-08-09 to 2023-09-27), and the current freetrials page at cloud.samsungsds.com could not be read because it renders client-side; a partner article dated 2026-02-05 repeats the mechanic, so the programme is treated as live but the amount is dated. The GPU exclusion is the detail that matters, because the headline credit reads as GPU money and is not.
