Lesson 27 / 28
The AWS Free Tier
Learn how the AWS Free Tier and free-plan credits work, and avoid surprise bills while you experiment.
Three kinds of free
AWS offers an Always Free tier (small monthly limits on services such as Lambda and DynamoDB), plus trial offers. Accounts created since mid-2025 also get a free plan with promotional credits that expire. Check the current terms in the Billing console.
Watch your usage
Free tier limits are per-service and reset monthly — exceed them and you're billed normally. Check the Billing dashboard's free tier usage page regularly, especially while learning.
