FreeForDev

About FreeForDev

FreeForDev is a curated, community-maintained list of software and cloud services that offer free tiers for developers, covering categories such as cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, databases, monitoring, authentication, hosting, and dozens of other developer tooling areas. The list is limited to as-a-service offerings with genuine free tiers (not just free trials, and time-bucketed tiers must last at least a year), and excludes self-hosted software.

Each entry summarizes the free-tier limits of a given provider, such as request counts, storage caps, or compute hours, for services from major cloud platforms (Google Cloud, AWS, Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud) as well as smaller specialized tools. The list has grown through pull requests and contributions from over 1,600 people and is maintained on an ongoing basis to keep entries current as providers change their offerings.

It is intended for developers, system administrators, and DevOps practitioners looking to find no-cost options for infrastructure, tooling, and services without committing to paid plans.
