### 🛒 No bills, no trials, no card — 51 things the internet normally charges for

 ![the free-tier bible — a vending machine whose card slot is taped over](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/3/9/395fc4b334f5af123e5cd67d1b70d1f1ead86cf6.png)

Card asked for, nothing charged · figures off the vendor’s own label · opened 7 Oct 2026

Every button pays out. The slot is taped over for a reason.

**The ten with the biggest allowances**

1. [**Oracle Always Free**](https://www.oracle.com/cloud/free/) — 2 OCPU / 12 GB ARM, **10 TB egress a month**
2. [**Kaggle**](https://www.kaggle.com/docs/efficient-gpu-usage) — **30 GPU hours a week**
3. [**Cloudflare R2**](https://developers.cloudflare.com/r2/pricing/) — 10 GB, **egress free**
4. [**Cloudflare Pages**](https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/platform/limits/) — **unlimited bandwidth**
5. [**Turso**](https://turso.tech/pricing) — **500M rows read a month**
6. [**Grafana Cloud**](https://grafana.com/pricing/) — **50 GB of logs**
7. [**Tailscale**](https://tailscale.com/pricing) — **unlimited devices**
8. [**`EU.org`**](https://nic.eu.org/) — a free subdomain: your DNS, a few days’ wait
9. [**catbox**](https://catbox.moe/) — 200 MB a file, **permanent**
10. [**`SDF.org`**](https://sdf.org/) — a **shell account since 1987**

**🪙 What people pay for these, and where they pay $0**

```auto
a 2-core VM $5-12/mo -> $0
object storage with egress $5-9/mo -> $0
a managed Postgres $15/mo -> $0
30 GPU hours a week $50/mo -> $0
2,000 CI minutes $0.008/min -> $0
                            coin slot: taped over

```

**🎛 Nine buttons** — 🖥 compute · 🧠 brains · 🗄 storage · 🚚 delivery · 🗃 data  
⚙ build · 📮 mail & names · 📈 watch · 🕸 network

**🛠 What actually lands the Oracle box**

Three pollers that keep trying until your ARM box lands:

- [mosesman831/OCI-OcC-Fix](https://github.com/mosesman831/OCI-OcC-Fix) — 78★, GPL-3, updated July, multi-AD rotation, Docker, Telegram
- [hitrov/oci-arm-host-capacity](https://github.com/hitrov/oci-arm-host-capacity) — 1,307★, the classic poller
- [alexpua/oci-arm-catcher](https://github.com/alexpua/oci-arm-catcher) — 40★, dependency-free bash, easiest to leave running

Oracle’s own pages: go Pay-As-You-Go and the free box stays uncharged · try another availability  
domain and leave the fault domain unpinned · an idle box gets reclaimed.

**🧾 Before you press**

- Card asked for, nothing charged: [R2](https://developers.cloudflare.com/r2/pricing/), [Oracle](https://www.oracle.com/cloud/free/), [Google Cloud](https://cloud.google.com/free/docs/free-cloud-features).
- [Kaggle](https://www.kaggle.com/docs/efficient-gpu-usage) asks for a phone number.
- [Google’s free box](https://cloud.google.com/free/docs/free-cloud-features): one of three US regions.
- [Oracle](https://www.oracle.com/cloud/free/) reclaims an idle ARM box after a quiet week.
