I noticed you haven't included Back4app in your list, which comes with a free tier. This option https://www.back4app.com/web-deployment-platform doesn't ask for credit card details and confers 100GB transfer, 0.25 shared CPU, 256 MB RAM, deployment from GitHub and custom Docker containers under its free tier.

@ElianaBrininger Does this shut down automatically after some minutes of inactivity?

Bro please update Fly.io, as it is free upto $5 and you'll need to enter card details to sign up.

What the fuck is flu.io and who you are?
