Is DigitalOcean's Free tier the best deal?

App Platform · $0/mo (1 GB transfer)

Best in class

DigitalOcean's App Platform free tier is genuinely hard to beat for static sites at zero cost. No competing providers offer a comparable free static hosting tier with 1GB monthly transfer. If you exceed the 1GB transfer allowance, overage costs are transparent at $0.01/GB, making it predictable for light traffic.

Before you switch

Confirm your static site qualifies (HTML, CSS, JS only; no server-side code)
Monitor your monthly transfer usage to avoid surprise overage charges if traffic spikes
Verify the 1GB pooled allowance covers all your apps and assets combined
Check if you need autoscaling or dynamic features in the future, which would require a paid tier
