Best free app platforms with no credit card (2026) Every platform below has a renewable free tier you can deploy to without entering a credit card. They are ranked by our free-value score, which weighs compute and bandwidth allowances against the limits attached. We only list platforms whose no-card free access is confirmed in our data.
How these scores work
