- Payment method for the Pay-As-You-Go account
What you get from IBM Cloud free tier for free
IBM Cloud's free tier combines a $200 starter credit with 40+ always-free Lite products.
What you get
- $200 credit for your first 30 days - spend it on any IBM Cloud product
- Always-free Lite plans: Watson APIs, Cloud Foundry, Kubernetes-lite options, and more
- No time limit on the Lite products themselves
How to claim
- Create an account at ibm.com/products/cloud/free
- The $200 credit lands automatically (30-day window)
- Deploy Lite-plan products to stay permanently free
Watch out: the account is Pay-As-You-Go, so anything beyond free tiers starts billing once the credit is gone.
