What the free plan includes

The free plan is not a trial. It does not expire, and it does not ask for a card.

What you get

• 3 apps
• Roughly 14 hours of running time a month — and your app only uses this while someone is actually using it
• 5 GB of traffic
• 100 minutes of build time
• 256 MB of memory per app
• 7 days of logs
• A picocloud.app web address for each app

What it does not include

• Your own domain name — that starts on Hobby, at €5 a month
• Always-on apps — free apps sleep after 5 minutes of nobody using them. See why is my app asleep?
• Extra people on your account

Is 14 hours a month really enough?

For most small tools, comfortably. Because apps sleep when idle, a personal tool that you open a few times a day uses only a few minutes of running time each day. The allowance is only tight if your app is genuinely busy all day — and at that point it is doing real work for you.

You can see exactly what you have used, at any time, on the Usage page.

What happens if I run out

Your apps stop until the next month begins, or until you move to a paid plan. Nothing is deleted and nothing is charged — you will never be billed for something you did not choose.
