Haven't they always had a free plan? I host a ton of tiny projects on Netlify and haven't paid anything.

- designed 2y agoSame. I'm confused by this. Maybe they are changing (decreasing?) what's included in the free tier and rebranding. Will look into it.
- shlomo_z 2y agoI don't think anything is missing from their free plan compared to their starter plan
- pfych 2y agoYou don't need to have a credit card on file to use this free plan apparently
- kristianp 2y agoI think they are now allowing serverless and edge functions in the free plan. Previously it was only site builds and static hosting. They're also allowing 100 form submissions.
- __jonas 2y agoThey had a free “starter” plan, which began to charge you their pretty hefty traffic prices if you ever happened to cross the free limit, leading to situations like this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39520776 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39520776 Which probably wasn’t very good PR for them either (see the classic HN CEO response). I’m happy about this new, actually free plan, I wanted to move all my projects off Netlify when that happened but now I feel a bit more safe. Be aware you have to explicitly switch to that in your account settings, otherwise you remain on “starter” which starts to bill you.
