verdict: compute/hosthatch says paid-only, compute/hosthatch-nvme-2gb says qualifies

Free tier	no free tier; 'NVMe 2 GB from $4.00 / month' unit none; metered on none
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not applicable
Retention	the disk persists while the plan is paid
Egress	1 TB a month on the NVMe 2 GB plan, from the plan table column 'Bandwidth' free_allowance: 1 TB
Identity	card an account and a payment method at order
Limits	volume-quota 1 TB a month of bandwidth source per-object-cap 10 GB NVMe on this rung source
Binding	volume-quota 1 TB a month is the smallest allowance of any row, and it fails before the 2 GiB of RAM does for anything that serves bytes.

Tooling	any SSH client; Peregrine panel
Composes with	a 2 GiB box with NVMe and dedicated CPU allocation, useful where disk latency matters more than RAM
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	Inside the line at USD 4.00 for 2 GiB, but the 10 GB disk and 1 TB traffic make it the thinnest row per dollar of RAM. The 4 GB rung is USD 6.00 and therefore out. Prices are 'from', so a location may quote higher; the page does not enumerate per-location rates.
Evidence rung	documented the two rungs, their shapes and their prices are quoted from the vendor's product page read today; 'from' means the rate varies by location, and the locations were not enumerated.

Free tier	1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 8 / 10 TB HDD, 'enterprise-grade spinning hard disk drives', 8 locations. unit TB; metered on unstated
Price	$3.80/TB/mo at 10 TB ($38/mo, 25 TB included). At 5 TB: $20/mo = $4.00/TB (12.5 TB included). At 20 TB: two 10 TB VMs = $76/mo = $3.80/TB. Pricing is linear — no volume break — so the 10 TB rung is the only sensible buy.
Per-object cap	not stated
Retention	not stated
Egress	Metered with throttle-on-exceed, no published per-TB overage price. Ratios are 2.5x storage: 1 TB plan = 2.5 TB, 2 TB = 5 TB, 5 TB = 12.5 TB, 10 TB = 25 TB. Exceeding it is throttling, not billing — a holder of the 2 TB Hong Kong plan reports '2.5 TB (throttled to about 5 Mbps after limit from my experience)' (LET thread 217891). APAC bandwidth is a separate, smaller pool: a HostHatch rep confirmed on LET that 'the actual limit is 3TB per month for Singapore' while the site quoted 7.5 TB (thread 194949). free_allowance: 3TB per month
Identity	card card
Limits	per-ip-shaping 50 GB/day source per-object-cap: none. APAC gets 40% of the advertised bandwidth (3 TB instead of 7.5 TB on the 3 TB plan).
Binding	per-ip-shaping one stream is shaped, and a user's throughput is the shaped rate times the number of streams
Interface	rest, sftp, rsync, rclone sftp, rsync, rest (self-hosted)
Tooling	rclone SFTP, Borg/Restic, root KVM
Composes with	Root KVM. Note the array is RAID-50 on some nodes — HostHatch itself conceded on LET that 'RAID 50 comes with an inherently higher risk as compared to RAID 10' (thread 188952).
Reliability	Mixed and the worst reliability record of the three leaders. Documented incidents: HostHatch Chicago storage 'data lost' with 5d15h downtime and multi-day ticket silence (thread 178049); Stockholm storage down (thread 199687); Los Angeles storage outage (thread 188952); one user reports being suspended for writing ~50 GB/day because it 'degrades their array' despite being under the bandwidth cap (thread 122150). Countervailing: a 859-day and a since-2015 customer both report the service as solid (threads 163774, 194092).

Sibling records disagree:

verdict: compute/hosthatch says paid-only, compute/hosthatch-nvme-2gb says qualifies

Free tier	The cheapest NVMe compute VM in the standing catalogue is 'NVMe 2 GB' at 'from $4.00 / month': 1 AMD EPYC core on fair share, 2 GB DDR4, 10 GB NVMe, 1 TB monthly transfer. The ladder above it, all quoted from the same table: 4 GB / 20 GB NVMe / 1 TB at $6.00; 8 GB / 35 GB / 2 TB at $9.00; 12 GB / 50 GB / 3 TB at $12.00 (4 cores, 1 dedicated); 16 GB / 75 GB / 4 TB at $15.00; 24 GB / 100 GB / 6 TB at $22.00; 32 GB / 125 GB / 8 TB at $29.00; 48 GB / 150 GB / 12 TB at $39.00; 64 GB / 200 GB / 15 TB at $49.00; 96 GB / 250 GB / 20 TB at $69.00. A second product line, Storage VMs on spinning disk, starts at 'Storage 1TB from $5.00 / month' with 1 vCPU core, 1024 MB RAM, 1000 GB disk and 2500 GB transfer, up to 10 TB disk with 25000 GB transfer for $38.00, in 8 locations. The homepage states the entry price twice over: 'Our smallest plan costs $4 per month (less than a cup of coffee).' unit GiB; metered on wall-clock; none
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not applicable
Retention	not applicable
Egress	each plan carries a monthly transfer allowance rather than an unlimited port: 1 TB on the NVMe 2 GB plan, rising with the plan to 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 15 and 20 TB. The page states in a footnote that APAC limits are lower and are shown only on hover, and the vendor's own anniversary post gives the shape of that gap: '5 TB bandwidth (3 TB in APAC, 1.5TB in Seoul)'. Extra bandwidth is sold on top in fixed sizes through the API and the console. free_allowance: 1024 GB per month on the NVMe 2 GB plan; lower in APAC, by an amount this read could not capture price_per_tb: not published on any page read: the API exposes an extra_bandwidth price list per product, and the documented values are explicitly illustrative ('The examples' prices are illustrations'), so no rate is recorded
Identity	card not stated on the page read, and stated precisely: no page read lists the accepted payment methods. What is documented is that an order ships only against money. The API docs say an order 'pays for itself from the project owner's account credit when the credit covers it. Otherwise it waits while its invoice is paid in the console', so either prepaid credit or a payment instrument is needed before any server exists. The older signup form asks for 'your personal information as accurately as possible to avoid false-positives by our fraud detection system' and says it is used 'for your invoices and any other billing related processes'. The new console signup asks only for email, password and an optional project id, so nothing is charged at registration; the charge lands on the first invoice. A third-party benchmark table lists Stripe, PayPal and bank transfer as accepted, which is reported and was not verified here.
Limits	volume-quota 1 TB a month is 33 GB a day, 3 percent of one day of the client's 1 TiB serving target, so the monthly counter is the first wall; behind it sit a 10 GB NVMe disk that holds no working set and a single fair-share core, which makes this a control node rather than a data node. source 1 TB a month is 33 GB a day, 3 percent of one day of the client's 1 TiB serving target, so the monthly counter is the first wall; behind it sit a 10 GB NVMe disk that holds no working set and a single fair-share core, which makes this a control node rather than a data node.

Interface	ssh, rest inferred from the tooling the provider documents; not probed
Tooling	root KVM on the vendor's own hardware, so any client runs inside the VM and no wrapper is needed. The vendor documents its own control panel (Peregrine) and a REST API at https://docs.hosthatch.com/api/ covering orders, server power and reinstall, snapshots, firewalls, SSH keys, ISO mounting, IPv6 and reverse DNS, with an idempotency key on orders. Two API surfaces exist, the new console API and a legacy Peregrine API, which is a second write path to the same resource.
Composes with	This is a control-plane machine, not a data machine: 2 GB of RAM and 10 GB of NVMe run a scheduler, a broker client, a DNS primary or a tunnel endpoint, while the 1 TB a month moves control traffic only. HostHatch's $4.00 sits between them as the cheapest monthly-in-advance 2 GB box with 40 GbE public networking (100 GbE in some regions, per the vendor's own matrix) and a documented API.
Reliability	no incident observed the vendor's own anniversary post states that on promotional plans 'It can take several days to resolve issues', that promotional servers have a 10-working-day setup, and that promo plans carry no refunds or credits.
Notes	Every price here is the vendor's standing catalogue, not a third-party table. What is unresolved and what would settle it: the '$4.00' is a 'from' figure, and the per-location monthly and annual amounts live in the product catalogue behind the console login, so a session with an account should read GET /projects/{slug}/products/ and replace price_usd_month with the real per-location number. No trial and no signup credit exist on any page read: the documentation bundle has zero occurrences of 'trial', and credit appears only as a balance the customer funds. A coupon aggregator advertises a '$100 Free Trial for 30 Days on VPS Hosting' against HostHatch, which is a template line repeated across that site's coupon pages and appears on no HostHatch page; it is unverified and contradicted by the vendor's own documentation, so it is not recorded as an offer. The login wall is recorded, not worked around. Two further observations: the vendor's own pages disagree on how many locations exist (16 on the products page, 13 on the homepage and features page, 16 data centers on the company page, and 14 rows including Seoul in the docs matrix), and console.hosthatch.com/products/ answered 404.
