Always Free: 2M requests/month, 360K GB-seconds memory, 180K vCPU-seconds compute, 1 GB North America egress. Fully managed serverless containers. If your service uses instance-based billing, its free tier is 240K vCPU-seconds and 450K GiB-seconds a month instead of 180K and 360K. Jobs get the same 240K and 450K. Delayed Jobs get 342,857 vCPU-seconds and 642,857 GiB-seconds a month, and worker pools 384,204 vCPU-seconds and 728,744 GiB-seconds (Google states each free tier at us-central1 prices). When we read the page we cite for this offer on 2026-10-13, we refused the change we considered recording because it named no figure that had moved, and we have read it again since, on 2026-11-02, without confirming the terms above, so we cannot confirm these terms today.

The Free plan is $0 with a limit of 300 credits per month, covering production deploys (15 credits each), compute (10 credits per GB-hour), bandwidth (20 credits per GB) and web requests (2 credits per 10k requests). Netlify says the Free plan is always free, with hard monthly limits that cannot be exceeded or incur costs; extra credits need a paid plan. Personal is $9 a month with 1,000 credits.

• If one site uses up the Free plan's monthly credits, Netlify pauses every site on the account until the next billing cycle or an upgrade. (From docs.netlify.com/manage/accounts-and-billing/billing/billing-for-credit-based-plans/billing-faq-for-credit-based-plans, read 2026-10-07.)

• Netlify Database compute and bandwidth use the same 300 monthly credits as other Free plan features. Compute costs 10 credits per unit, with one unit used per hour at 1 compute unit. Bandwidth costs 20 credits per GB. This allows about 30 hours of database activity if no other features use credits. (From docs.netlify.com/build/data-and-storage/netlify-database/billing-and-usage, read 2026-10-21.)
• On the Free plan, an account can have 3 databases. Each runs at 1 compute unit, sleeps after 5 minutes without activity and cannot be set to stay on. Each is limited to 5 GB of storage, and to 5 GB of data written and 5 GB of bandwidth per billing period.
