Verdict

Akamai Cloud has no ongoing free tier; what it offers is a credit grant that runs out ("Credits"). We are not publishing a free-tier verdict for CloudDev. The page we cite for CloudDev states no amount, tier or rate we can read when we last looked, on 2026-10-10. We are not comparing the two pricing histories.

A verdict here is not a fixed property of the vendor. A one-off pricing event demotes a vendor while its recorded date falls in the last 180 days and then lapses on its own, with nothing about the vendor having changed; a standing condition — a free tier withdrawn and not restored, a product retired — does not lapse with time. A badge carrying a date states the record it rests on; a badge with no date rests on no record in force.

Akamai Cloud, formerly Linode: a new user who signs up through a referral link gets a $100, 60-day credit, applied once a valid payment method is on the account. Shared CPU plans start with the Nanode 1 GB at $5/mo in most regions (1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 25 GB of storage, 1 TB transfer); the next plan, 2 GB RAM, is $12/mo.

The $100 is a 60-day credit, applied only after a valid payment method is added to the new account. (From techdocs.akamai.com/cloud-computing/docs/referral-program, read 2026-10-06.)
Every service on the account is billed even while powered off or unused; only removing it stops the charges. (From techdocs.akamai.com/cloud-computing/docs/understanding-how-billing-works, read 2026-10-07.)
