Free tier	Quoted: "When using Kyma, the free plan is available only once in a global account for up to 30 days." Quoted from the pricing page: "SAP BTP trial is a non-commercial, time-limited offering that gives you 90 days... At the end of the trial period, your SAP BTP trial account will be shut down." unit none; metered on wall-clock; trial-credit
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not applicable
Retention	Kyma, the managed Kubernetes runtime, is free once per global account and only for 30 days, and the free tier model itself needs a Pay-As-You-Go or enterprise agreement account, so there is no renewable free cluster.

Composes with	Nothing durable. A 30-day Kyma cluster is enough to test a manifest once, and the 90-day trial covers the build, which is the shape of a trial rather than a platform to run on.
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	Recorded because SAP BTP appears in lists of 'free Kubernetes' without the two dates that decide it. The widely quoted '4 GB of free memory' figure was not confirmed on any page read and is deliberately absent rather than repeated. What would reopen the question is a free tier plan for Kyma measured in months rather than days.
