Zeabur free tier: the verified facts
Last verified: 2026-10-06· official pricing page
FREE TIER EXISTS NO CARD NEEDED
Deploy-anything PaaS that changed its model — plans now gate features, compute comes from servers you bring.
Current limits
| What | Limit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Own servers manageable | 1 | Free plan manages servers you bring/buy — bundled free runtime compute is not clearly documented |
| Build machine | 2 vCPU / 4 GB RAM | Build-time only, not runtime |
| Log retention | 48 hours | |
| File upload limit | 50 MB per file | |
| Sleep | Services auto-sleep when idle | Few seconds cold start on wake |
Gotchas that bite people
The old usage-based serverless model is gone — the 'Shared Cluster' is marked deprecated. Plans now mainly gate dashboard features, and compute comes from servers you connect or purchase
What free runtime compute you get WITHOUT bringing a server is not clearly documented — the single biggest ambiguity for free users
Dev ($5) and Pro ($19) plans advertise '$0 first 14 days' — that's a trial, not the free plan
No SLA on free; services sleep on idle
