+ 1 Zeabur is a Singapore/Asia-focused PaaS (think Railway/Render alternative) that gives every account a Free Trial Plan with $5 of monthly credit and no credit card required. It is enough to run a small personal project (1 vCPU / 2 GB RAM per service, free regions only) — perfect for vibe-coding side projects, hobby APIs, Discord bots, or learning Docker deployments. Paid Dev Plan ($5/mo) unlocks more regions, larger machines, and 14-day trial access.

+ 15 Important caveats:

+ 16 • You must keep services within 1 vCPU / 2 GB memory on the Free Trial Plan — heavier configs are blocked until you upgrade
No comments on this line yet.
+ 17 • Auto-sleep — free services sleep after a period of inactivity and cold-start on the next request (a few seconds latency). Fine for hobby projects, painful for anything customer-facing

+ 18 • Credit does not roll over — unused $5 is lost at the end of the month

+ 19 • If you blow through $5, services stop until next month or until you upgrade

+ 20 • No SLA on the Free Plan; no automated DB backups, no log forwarding, no Zeabur Email

+ 77 Zeabur is a generic PaaS, so the free credit can run anything that fits in 1 vCPU / 2 GB:

+ 92 • $5 burns fast at 1 vCPU / 2 GB pinned 24/7 — auto-sleep is what makes the free plan actually free. If you disable sleep or run a cron that wakes services constantly, you will exhaust credit before month-end.
No comments on this line yet.
+ 93 • Cold starts are noticeable (a few seconds) — bad for user-facing endpoints, fine for personal dashboards or webhooks.
No comments on this line yet.
+ 94 • No backups on the free plan — if you run a Postgres template here, snapshot externally or accept the risk.
No comments on this line yet.
+ 95 • Outbound traffic counts against the $5 credit, so high-bandwidth apps (image hosts, video proxies) drain budget quickly.
No comments on this line yet.
+ 96 • Free regions only — if your users are in the US/EU, latency may be poor unless you upgrade.
No comments on this line yet.
+ 97 • Zeabur is Asia-headquartered (originally Taiwan/Singapore); docs and dashboard are English-first but community discussion is bilingual.

+ 103 • Hobby builders: start on Free Trial Plan, upgrade to Dev Plan ($5/mo) the moment a project becomes user-facing — you keep your $5 credit and just gain bigger machines + always-on services.

+ 104 • Compare with: Railway ($5/mo with $5 credit, similar model), Render (free static + $7/mo web services), Fly.io (resource-based free allowance), Northflank (2 services free, no card).

+ 105 • Templates first — Zeabur has 100+ one-click templates; deploying from a template is the fastest way to validate the platform before wiring up your own repo.
