Free Plan
The Free Plan is Zeabur’s free tier, designed for personal exploration and learning. No credit card required — just sign up and start deploying.
Included Resources
| Resource | Limit |
|---|---|
| Projects | 1 |
| Services | Up to 2 per project |
| Deployment regions | Shared cluster regions |
| Free credits | Reset monthly (see Free Quota) |
| Custom domains | Not supported |
| Persistent storage | Not supported |
Service Rates
The Free Plan uses the same rates as paid plans, deducted from free credits:
- vCPU — Free ($0.0 / vCPU-minute)
- Memory — US$0.00025 / GB-minute (~US$10.8 / GB-month)
- Network egress — US$0.1 / GB
- Persistent storage — US$0.2 / GB-month
Limitations
- Auto-sleep — Services on the Free Plan automatically sleep after a period of inactivity. They wake up on the next incoming request, which may cause a few seconds of cold-start latency.
- No persistent storage — Cannot deploy services that require persistent volumes (e.g., databases).
- No SLA — The free plan does not include a Service Level Agreement.
- Credits exhausted — When monthly free credits run out, services are suspended until the next month’s reset.
Services on the Free Plan auto-sleep when idle to conserve resources. If you need services to run continuously, consider upgrading to the Dev Plan.
Upgrade Path
When your needs exceed the Free Plan, you can upgrade to a paid plan:
- Dev Plan — US$5/month, ideal for individual developers with production projects. Includes custom domains, persistent storage, and unlimited projects.
- Team Plan — Usage-based billing, designed for team collaboration with member management and invoicing support.
- Enterprise — Custom plans with dedicated support and SLAs — contact us for details.
