Kaggle free tier includes Google's data science platform with free notebooks, datasets and competitions… Catalogue date September 2026. Compare with 3 alternatives in AI / ML.
Subtypes in AI / ML: gpu_compute — sells accelerator time for code you write; the unit billed is machine time, not a model call. We read that on 2026-09-01 from https://www.kaggle.com/docs/notebooks, where it says: “a cloud computational environment that enables reproducible and collaborative analysis” How we use this.
Kaggle's free tier offers Google's data science platform with free notebooks, datasets and competitions… It's stable — zero pricing changes recorded. Best for ai / ml workloads.
Google's data science platform with free notebooks, datasets and competitions. Notebooks get a weekly GPU quota of 30 hours, sometimes more depending on demand (one NVIDIA Tesla P100 or two Tesla T4s), and a TPU v3-8 for up to 20 hours per week. Sessions run up to 12 hours on CPU or GPU and 9 hours on TPU, with 20 GB of auto-saved disk in /kaggle/working. Free GPUs and TPUs may queue at busy times. Datasets are capped at 200 GB each and 200 GB of private datasets in total. Kaggle's one paid service is hosting a competition.
We read that on 2026-10-14 from https://www.kaggle.com/docs/efficient-gpu-usage, and our check recorded: the page names Kaggle as "kaggle" and states "30 hours". A source check reads the cited page for the service's name and a price; the limits above are from our own record.
No recorded pricing changes for Kaggle. This is a good sign — stable pricing.
How Kaggle compares against every one of the 3 we list, not against a selection of them. A surface with room for every member of a tied set may rotate their order. A surface with room for only some of them names none of them, because which ones it named would be the claim, and a claim seeded on the date is not the one we serve tomorrow. How we decide this.
| Service | Free Tier | Stability |
