- AWS has a 12 months free tier [1]
- Google Cloud has a 2 months free trial [2]
That will make a huge difference when I'll have to choose.

- vgt 10y agoGreat point. I think it's a matter of different philosophies, and both are great for customers! - AWS gives you specific usage allotments per-month for specific services. - Google gives you $300 cash for 2 months to use however you please. just don't mine bitcoins or generate email spam :) - Some folks did the math on AWS free tier to total $247.20 [0]. That is, if you 100% utilize all the allotments. - Google BigQuery, Firebase, and AppEngine also have perpetual free tiers.

- ggregoire 10y agoThank you for the clarification. :)
- 0xmohit 10y agoTalking of EC2, AWS free tier only allows t2.micro instances (1 vCPU, 1 GiB RAM). Might not serve any use to many.
- alberts00 10y agoIt seems like Google Cloud free trial in several countries (at least in LV,LT,EE) is only available to businesses. I wanted to give the free trial a go, but wasn't able to register because it did not let me choose account type as "individual".
