Who qualifies
New eligible Oracle Cloud Free Tier users in supported signup countries and commercial OCI regions.
The catch
One Free Tier account per person. Supported card verification and selected-country eligibility apply. Capacity, including scarce compute, is not guaranteed; this is not a guaranteed GPU allocation.

- Up to 30 days or credit exhaustion

Details
Register through Oracle Cloud Free Tier. The trial ends after up to 30 days or $300 usage. Without a chosen PAYGO upgrade, eligible Always Free services remain subject to their limits and account rules. PAYGO is a deliberate upgrade with service-specific metered charges. Prepaid, virtual, single-use and PIN-only cards are not accepted for verification.

- Anyone with a Modal account
- Resets monthly
