Render
Hosting for long-running web services (Node, Python, Rails and more), static sites, Postgres and Redis-compatible Key Value. Useful when your app has a real backend server, not just a front-end.
Free tier
- Free web services: 750 free instance hours per workspace per month
- Free static sites (count against included bandwidth and build minutes)
- One free Postgres database (1 GB) and one free Key Value instance per workspace
Best for
Trying out a backend API or full-stack server app.
Watch out: Free web services spin down after 15 minutes without traffic and take about a minute to wake up. Free Postgres databases expire 30 days after creation, and Render itself says not to use free instances for production.
