Freeby GlyphHow it works
- 1
Typed from the vendor
Every offer was read off the vendor's own pricing, free-tier or docs page, with the sentence it came from kept as a quote. Where the page does not say whether a card is needed, it says "not stated".
- 2
Checked every day
Every morning a check fetches every source page and compares the sentences that state terms. Unchanged: the offer is marked checked that day. Changed: a model reads the new terms and quotes the sentence that states them; a quote not found word for word on the page is thrown away, and a real difference updates the offer and joins the changes list.
- 3
Quoted, not guessed
A change applies only with a sentence copied from the page itself, and reader corrections are reviewed by hand. New programs found by the weekly search are reviewed before they are listed. Links always go to the vendor: no affiliate links, no sponsored placement.

Questions
What is Free (free.fru.dev)?
A table of the free tiers, trials, credits, student offers and startup programs across data, AI and cloud: Snowflake, Databricks, Google Cloud, AWS, Azure, Gemini, MongoDB Atlas, Supabase, Neon, Vercel, Cloudflare, GitHub Copilot and more. Every offer shows what you get, for how long, whether a card is needed, and links to the vendor's own sign-up and docs.
How much is the Snowflake free trial?
A Snowflake trial account comes with $400 of free usage and lasts 30 days, or until the credits run out. Sign-up needs only an email address; AI features stay off until a card is added.
Which cloud gives the most free credits?
For new accounts: Google Cloud gives $300 for 90 days, Oracle Cloud US$300 for 30 days, AWS up to $200 over a 6-month Free plan, and Azure $200 for 30 days. Startup programs go much higher: up to $350,000 from Google for Startups, $200,000 from AWS Activate and $150,000 from Microsoft for Startups.
Is there a free LLM API?
Yes. The Gemini API free tier makes Flash models free of charge within rate limits (free-tier content is used to improve Google products), Groq has a Free plan with per-model limits, Cloudflare Workers AI gives 10,000 Neurons a day, and Hugging Face gives every free account $0.10 of Inference Providers credit a month.
Which free tiers need no credit card?
Open Filters on the home page and pick "No card needed". Among them: the Snowflake trial, Neon, Turso, Firebase Spark, Cloudflare Workers, the Gemini API free tier, Google Colab and Azure for Students. Offers whose page does not say are marked "not stated" rather than guessed.
How current is this?
Every offer shows the date it was last checked against the vendor's page. A daily check reads each source page, and when the terms change, the offer is updated from a sentence quoted word for word from that page and the difference is added to the changes timeline. The vendor's page is always the final word.
