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: zero cost with 1GB monthly transfer is a legitimate no-cost entry point. No competing providers were found offering equivalent free static hosting, making this the best option in its category.

Before you switch

Verify your actual monthly transfer usage stays under 1GB; overage charges are $0.01/GB and can accumulate quickly if traffic spikes
Confirm static-site-only limitation matches your needs (no server-side code, databases, or dynamic backends)
Check DigitalOcean's terms on how 'static sites' are defined and enforced to avoid surprise tier upgrades
Consider future growth: if you outgrow the free tier, review paid App Platform pricing and compare against Netlify Free, Vercel Free, or GitHub Pages for your next step
