Free tier	no free tier on the pricing page; 'Our servers start at $4 a month, with no long-term contracts' unit none; metered on none
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not applicable
Retention	the disk persists while the server is paid; 'no long-term contracts'
Egress	'5 TB Internet Traffic' on the Basic configuration free_allowance: 5 TB
Identity	card card required at order and even to start the free trial; no hold amount published; debit, prepaid, virtual and electronic cards accepted in writing - 'We accept all major credit and debit cards, provided they include the cardholder’s name. This includes virtual, prepaid, and electronic cards.' PayPal only after a card activation; an ID document is not named on any page that answered today, and the vendor's ID-verification answer pages return 410
Limits	volume-quota 5 TB a month of internet traffic source
Binding	volume-quota 5 TB is generous next to 1 GiB of RAM, so on this shape the memory fails first; the published quota is the only number the vendor enforces.
Interface	ssh, rest root SSH and the Kamatera API; servers deploy from a web console
Tooling	any SSH client; Kamatera API and CLI
Composes with	a 1 GiB no-contract box for a single daemon, priced per configuration rather than per plan
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	USD 4.00 for 1 GiB is poor value against every other row, but it is the only row here that prices a shape per configuration with no contract, so the money buys flexibility rather than capacity. Nothing on the page shows a 4 GiB configuration at or below USD 5. The payment FAQ was read today and accepts debit, prepaid and virtual cards by name; no hold amount is published. RE-VERIFIED 2026-10-24: the prepaid sentence was read verbatim on the vendor's own FAQ answer page today, not from a snippet, and it is the one unambiguous 'prepaid works' statement in this corpus. No hold amount is published.
Evidence rung	documented the configuration, its price and its traffic allowance are quoted from the pricing page read today. \| Payment facts re-read on 2026-10-24: the card types, the hold and the identity gate each come from a first-party page quoted in evidence[].

Free tier	'Sign up for a free 30-day trial to receive cloud services worth up to $100', covering '1 cloud server valued up to $100 with the configuration of your choice', '1 TB of cloud block storage' and '1 TB of traffic (incoming/outgoing)', with 'Full access to all features on our cloud platform'. The trial does not expire into nothing: 'If you wish to cancel the free trial, you can simply terminate your server without incurring any charges. However, if you do not cancel before the trial ends, we will begin charging for services used.' unit mixed; metered on wall-clock; time-boxed at 30 days, then it converts to paid automatically unless the server is terminated
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not stated
Retention	The trial is 30 days from the first server, not from signup: 'Your 30-day Free Trial does not begin the moment you sign up; it only starts once you create your first server ... your trial period will remain "on hold" until you are ready to launch your first project.' It then auto-converts: 'if you do not cancel before the trial ends, we will begin charging for services used.' Billing is post-hoc, so the first invoice arrives after the trial: 'if you start the free trial on March 15th, it will expire on April 15th and your first invoice will be emailed to you in May. The invoice in May will include a prorated charge for April 15th through the end of the month in addition to the entire month of May.' (30 days)
Egress	'1 TB of traffic (incoming/outgoing)' during the trial; the counter is shared in and out, so the 1 TB is the sum. After the trial the rate is quoted per GB on the traffic FAQ, which was read only as a search snippet and is therefore not recorded as a number here. free_allowance: 1 TB
Identity	card Card required even to start the trial, and no hold amount is published anywhere read: 'In order to activate your your free trial, you must enter a credit credit. The card will not be charged for any usage that is within the limitations of our free trial.' Debit and PREPAID are accepted in writing: 'We accept all major credit and debit cards, provided they include the cardholder's name. This includes virtual, prepaid, and electronic cards.' PayPal is refused for a new account: 'New Accounts: For security reasons, the initial activation must be completed using a credit or debit card.' Where a card is declined the vendor offers a prepayment instead: 'If, for some reason, your card is not accepted, you will be given the option to make a pre-payment in the form of a deposit which can be made via PayPal.' A deposit can also be demanded ad hoc: 'We occasionally request a fully refundable security deposit when our system detects unusual billing activity (such as multiple card attempts).' An identity document is not part of signup; a manual verification asking for a 2-second video holding an ID is indexed by the vendor's own search but both of its answer pages returned 410 today, so it is not asserted here.
Limits	volume-quota 'you may create one server with a configuration costing up to $100' - one server, not a pool source volume-quota '1 TB of free traffic (including both inbound and outbound traffic)' source retention-clamped 30 days, then automatic conversion to paid billing unless the server is terminated before the trial ends source one server, USD 100 of configuration and 1 TB of shared in/out traffic for 30 days, after which billing starts by itself
Binding	volume-quota one server at up to USD 100 is the real ceiling: the money is generous but it cannot be spread over two machines, and the 30-day conversion means the decision to keep it is made by doing nothing
Interface	unknown

Notes	TRIAL VERIFIED 2026-10-24. The shape is one server of any configuration up to USD 100, plus 1 TB of block storage and 1 TB of traffic in and out, for 30 days. Its real end is the part worth stating plainly: the trial CONVERTS TO PAID BY DEFAULT. 'if you do not cancel before the trial ends, we will begin charging for services used', and because billing is post-hoc the first invoice lands in the month after the trial with a prorated charge for the trial's tail. Cancelling means terminating the server; that is free. Card: required, no published hold, and the ad-hoc USD 10 deposit a vendor FAQ describes is a refundable security deposit triggered by its own risk scoring, not a standing hold. Debit, prepaid, virtual and electronic cards are accepted in writing, which makes this the one unambiguous 'prepaid works' statement in the corpus - verified verbatim on the vendor's own FAQ answer page today, not taken from a snippet. PayPal is refused for a new account but accepted for a deposit when a card is declined, which is the route that makes the trial reachable without a card that passes authorisation. One detail worth having: the 30 days do not start at signup. 'Your 30-day Free Trial does not begin the moment you sign up; it only starts once you create your first server', so an account can be opened, a card bound and the trial left 'on hold' indefinitely until a machine is wanted. The clock that converts to paid starts on first deploy, not on registration. The ID-video verification step is still unverified: both answer pages return 410 Gone today, so it stays out of the detail.
Evidence rung	documented the trial's shape, its 30-day term, the automatic conversion to paid and the card rules are each quoted from a first-party Kamatera page read today. The hold is a dash because no amount is published; the ad-hoc deposit is quoted but its trigger is the vendor's own risk scoring, so it is recorded as a possibility rather than a term.
