gigalixir.com offers a free tier ("Free"). We are not publishing a free-tier verdict for Koyeb. Tier "Legacy Free" is a free tier closed to new accounts. We are not publishing a stability rating for Koyeb. 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180 days and then lapses on its own, with nothing about the vendor having changed; a standing condition — a free tier withdrawn and not restored, a product retired — does not lapse with time.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.
Serverless platform for web services, workers and Postgres databases. No free plan for new users since February 2026: new organizations must subscribe to Pro ($29 a month plus compute, with $10 of compute included) or a higher plan. Every plan can run one small Postgres instance (0.25 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 1 GB storage, 5 hours of compute a month) at no extra charge. Organizations already on the Starter plan keep it.
Koyeb verifies the card with a $29 pre-authorization hold, cancelled immediately, and charges the pro-rated amount for the selected plan at sign-up. Account validation usually takes a few minutes and can take up to 3 business days. (From koyeb.com/docs/faqs/pricing, read 2026-11-07.)
Koyeb bills GPU instances by the second. The cheapest GPU, the RTX-4000-SFF-ADA, costs $0.50 an hour. The L4 costs $0.70 an hour. The A100 costs $1.60 an hour. The H100 costs $2.50 an hour. The H200 costs $3.00 an hour. The B200 costs $5.50 an hour. (From koyeb.com/pricing, read 2026-11-07.)
Koyeb's Scale-to-Zero is in public preview and requires a Standard CPU or GPU instance with minimum instances set to zero, so services on Eco instances cannot scale to zero. The default idle period is 5 minutes; the Pro plan allows up to 6 hours, Scale and Enterprise up to 12 hours. (From koyeb.com/docs/run-and-scale/scale-to-zero, read 2026-11-09.)
Koyeb's Agent Skills and MCP server (@koyeb/mcp-server) let coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex and Cursor create apps, manage services and inspect deployments. The MCP server takes a Koyeb API token. (From koyeb.com/docs/integrations/coding-agents, read 2026-11-07.)
Koyeb Sandboxes run AI-generated and untrusted code in isolated environments. They are created with the Koyeb Python or JavaScript SDK and a Koyeb API token. (From koyeb.com/docs/sandboxes/sandbox-lifecycle, read 2026-11-07.)
Gigalixir provides one free instance that never sleeps and a free-tier PostgreSQL database limited to 2 connections, 10, 000 rows and no backups for Elixir/Phoenix apps.

Koyeb withdrew its free Starter plan from new users after announcing on 2026-02-17 that it is joining Mistral AI: new users "must subscribe to one of our paid plans to get started", from Pro at $29 a month plus compute. Starter was on koyeb.com/pricing in the Internet Archive's capture of 2026-02-19 and gone by 2026-02-26. Organizations already on Starter keep it. Source ↗
