Introduction

Sign up at cloud.laravel.com with your name and email. After you verify your email, select the Free Trial.

During the free trial, you can use credits to provision the following resources:| Resource | Limit |
|---|---|

| Cluster | 1 app cluster, up to 512MB. |

.free.laravel.cloud vanity domain. Custom domains are available on paid plans.
Upgrading to a paid plan
You can upgrade at any time — including mid-trial. Head to “Organization -> Settings -> Billing” and “Change plan”. What happens when you upgrade:- You unlock the full set of features (compute, regions, databases, custom domains, and more).
- Your application and configuration remain up and running.
- Your vanity domain changes from
.free.laravel.cloudto.laravel.cloud.
If credits run out
Once your free $5 credits are exhausted:- Compute turns off immediately. Your app goes down. You can still log in and view your configuration, but you can’t create or modify resources until you upgrade.
- A 7-day grace period begins. Databases, caches, and other resources stay in place. Upgrade within this window and your app comes back as it was.
- After 7 days, everything is permanently deleted. This cannot be undone.
