Render

Render is a developer tools tool for building and shipping software. In its own words: Deploy and scale any app or agent from your first user to your billionth. Build faster on intuitive cloud infrastructure for the modern web.

What the free plan gives you

Free instance type for web services. Taken from Render's own pricing page, the free plan includes web services with HTTP/2 and full TLS; node, Python, Go, Rust, Ruby, and Elixir; private services; custom Docker containers.

What it does

Render covers enterprise-grade Postgres databases, native language runtimes, infrastructure as code, isolated environments, object storage.

When you would pay

The free plan is bounded (free instance type for web services), so treat it as a genuine trial of the product rather than a permanent home. It is enough to decide whether Render fits before any money changes hands.

We list Render because the free plan was checked against its own pricing page, not because a vendor asked. If it has changed, tell us and we will re-check it.
