Free tier	No English signup credit is published. The pricing FAQ carries only a conditional example: 'For example, if you received a $100 credit for 60 days'. The surviving $100 statement is Japanese-locale meta text on akamai.com/ja/lp/free-trial, and /lp/free-credit-trial/ returns 404 with no archive capture. unit mixed; metered on wall-clock

Notes	The $100 for 60 days cannot be ranked because no English page states it as an offer. A card is mandatory for every account, whether or not a credit is granted. PAYMENT CORRECTION 2026-10-24: debit and the USD 1 hold are documented on the vendor's own payment-methods page. Prepaid is deliberately recorded as not stated: a Linode community answer says prepaid cards are accepted, but that is a third-party statement on a forum and no first-party page read today says it.
Evidence rung	documented the pricing pages and the Japanese trial page were read on 2026-10-23; the English $100 offer does not exist as a page \| 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	No free tier is published; both the routed and the anycast shapes are contract products. unit none; metered on none
Price	unpublished (sales contract)
Per-object cap	not applicable
Retention	not applicable
Egress	No volume is published. The service is sold as capacity against an attack profile, not as a byte allowance.; ingress: tcp+udp free_allowance: none published
Identity	institution A contract; the routed option additionally needs an assigned /24 or larger advertisable block, the ability to advertise via BGP, and GRE support on the origin network hardware.
Limits	write-gated Routed GRE requires an assigned /24 (IPv4) or /48 (IPv6), BGP advertisement and GRE support; the alternative is a contract for IP Protect source
Binding	write-gated The block size and the contract are the gates, not bytes. A client with one rented VM and no prefix can only take the IP Protect shape, which is the anycast product and is still contracted.
Interface	rest Prolexic IP Protect Configuration API on techdocs.akamai.com/ip-protect, managing mapped IP addresses and policy domains
Tooling	Prolexic IP Protect Configuration API; otherwise a managed service
Composes with	IP Protect is the only path that works with a single free VM as origin, and it needs a contract, so it does not chain with anything free
Reliability	the GRE shape is only for networks that can announce their own prefix; the anycast shape is the only one open to a host without a /24
Notes	The useful sentence on this page is the one that names the client's exact situation: 'less than a routable IPv4 /24 ... or cloud-hosting provider'. IP Protect is therefore the only Akamai shape that could apply, and it is contracted. techdocs.akamai.com/ip-protect exists as a configuration API but the welcome page 404s; the API index was reachable and describes mapped IP addresses.
Evidence rung	documented The /24-BGP-GRE requirement and the IP Protect anycast alternative are quoted from the page read today. The IP Protect price, its protocol coverage and its port model are not published and were not read.

2026-10-23	www.akamai.com/products/prolexic-solutions	For the Prolexic Routed GRE option, you need to have an assigned /24 or larger advertisable network block (IPv4) or /48 (IPv6), the ability to advertise your network traffic via BGP, and support generic routing encapsulation (GRE) with your origin-based network hardware.
2026-10-23	www.akamai.com/products/prolexic-solutions	For customers with less than a routable IPv4 /24 and/or IPv6 /48, fragmented IP space, or cloud-hosting provider, the Prolexic IP Protect option provides the same level of DDoS protection via IP anycast to route symmetric traffic through Akamai scrubbing centers.

Free tier	Quoted: "Both EdgeWorkers and EdgeKV offer a free pricing tier that enables the full feature list of the product and includes a total of 60 million free events (30 million per product) per month."

Identity	institution institution: 'If you have an active Akamai contract and login credentials for Akamai Control Center you can use these instructions to sign up for the EdgeWorkers Evaluation tier', and without a contract the route is a trial request 'Akamai must approve', with a delivery product such as ION as a prerequisite. No card, hold, phone number or ID document appears in any evidence row: unknown. The previous kind, card, was not supported by the record's evidence.
Limits	write-gated The 60 million events a month is gated on an approval: the Evaluation tier requires an active Akamai contract and Control Center credentials, and the alternative trial is granted by Akamai after a manual sign-up review. source The 60 million events a month is gated on an approval: the Evaluation tier requires an active Akamai contract and Control Center credentials, and the alternative trial is granted by Akamai after a manual sign-up review.

Interface	unknown inferred from the tooling the provider documents; not probed
Tooling	not stated
Composes with	Nothing for a user without a contract. The 60 million events are real but sit behind a sales relationship, which is the same class as an institutional quota.
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	Recorded as fails-identity because the unlimited-time tier needs an existing commercial account, and the reachable substitute is an approval-gated trial. This is the highest headline number in the edge class that is not actually reachable on an email alone, and it is the reason not to put Akamai beside Deno and Val Town in a table.
