What you get

Paid — $5/month (includes $5 usage credit). Hobby: $5/mo with $5 usage credits; then ~$10/GB-RAM-month and ~$20/vCPU-month (billed per minute). Up to 48 vCPU / 48GB RAM per service.

A 0.5 vCPU + 0.5GB service runs ~$0.80-$1.00/mo, so the $5 credit covers small always-on services; per-minute billing avoids paying for idle.
