Oracle Cloud Free Tier lets you build, test and deploy on Oracle Cloud for free. You start with a US$300 cloud credit and 30 days to use it across all OCI services, on top of Oracle's Always Free Services. At any time during or after the 30 days you can switch to a Pay As You Go account and pay only for services that exceed the monthly free amounts; if you do nothing after 30 days, you keep the Always Free Services. The Always Free Services have no time limit.
About this offer
Build, test and deploy applications on Oracle Cloud for free. The Oracle Cloud Free Tier pairs a US$300 cloud credit — good for 30 days across all Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) services — with a set of Always Free Services that stay free with no time limit. After the credit period you can move to Pay As You Go and pay only for usage beyond the free amounts, or do nothing and simply keep the Always Free Services.
Below is how the offer typically works and how to claim it. Exact eligibility and amounts are set by Oracle Cloud and can change, so always confirm the current terms on their official page before applying.
