Filed under: Serverless free tiers and credits

Good for

  • TypeScript-first apps and APIs inside 1 million requests per month
  • Side projects that fit 15 CPU hours and 20 GB egress monthly

Not for

  • Card-free operation at full quota: unverified orgs get restricted Free limits
  • GPU workloads: there is no Nvidia GPU SKU

Deno Deploy’s Free plan is $0 per month with monthly allowances: 1 million inbound requests, 20 GB of egress, 15 hours of CPU time, and 350 GB-hours of memory, across up to 20 apps and 50 custom domains per organization. The card nuance is unusual and worth reading precisely: organizations get “restricted Free plan limits until they verify their organization by linking a credit card.” So the plan is free, but the full free quotas sit behind a card link used for verification. Checked against the official pricing page and changelog on 2026-09-02.

The card rule, precisely

I mark this entry cardRequired yes because the official wording ties the full Free limits to linking a credit card. You can exist below that in a restricted state without one. This is the reverse of the Fly.io trial, where adding a card ends the free period; here linking one unlocks the advertised free quotas. Neither page says the card is charged on the free plan.

What the quotas mean in practice

Fifteen CPU hours per month is the binding limit for compute-heavy work; 1 million requests is generous for a side project. Exceed any quota and apps are paused until the next cycle, the same fail-safe pattern as Cloudflare Workers Free, which fails the over-quota operation type until its daily reset. Nothing bills automatically on the free plan.

No GPU

There is no Nvidia GPU SKU on Deno Deploy. Deno’s Sandbox product is secure Linux VMs, not GPU compute, so do not read “sandbox” here as GPU-capable the way it is on some platforms.

Choose or skip

Choose Deno Deploy Free if you write TypeScript, fit the monthly quotas, and do not mind linking a card for verification. Skip it if card-free is a hard requirement at full quota, or if your compute per request is heavy enough to burn 15 CPU hours quickly.

What I have done with it

Not tested yet. This page reports only what the official pages state.

For neighboring serverless free tiers, see Vercel and Netlify, or read how to choose compute. Every grant I track is on the credits index.
