Both SurrealDB Cloud and filess.io offer free tiers. SurrealDB Cloud provides "Free" while filess.io offers "Free".
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180 days and then lapses on its own, with nothing about the vendor having changed; a standing condition — a free tier withdrawn and not restored, a product retired — does not lapse with time.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.
Multi-model cloud database — The 'Start' plan offers 1GB of storage free, forever, and a free compute instance with 0.25 vCPU and 1 GB memory ($0.000/hr). Further instances are available from $0.021/hr.
filess.io is a platform where you can create two databases with up to 10 MB per database of the following DBMS for free: MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL.

The free tier now includes a compute instance with 0.25 vCPU and 1 GB memory, but also lists several paid tiers with varying compute and storage options. The free tier is now explicitly a 'Start' plan with hourly billing for additional resources beyond the free limits. Source ↗
