> 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.
