6.1 Free Tier

The free tier allows deployment of static HTML artifacts. Free tier services are provided as-is with no uptime guarantee.

You may upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time. Downgrades take effect at the end of the current billing period. If you downgrade below your current usage, existing applications will continue running but you will not be able to create new deployments until you are within your plan limits.

If payment fails, we will attempt to collect for up to 7 days. After that period, your account may be downgraded to the free tier. We will notify you by email before any service disruption.
