Good service and amend for their mistakes. Plans are a bit confusing at times

Big fan, couldn't be much better. You can deploy your service fast in test, and if you need you can also deploy a testing branch to your Git feature branch. I mean, for a free service, what more do you want! :) Cheers Render.com

It's so easy to deploy and there is even a great free tier, the free tier spins down with 15 seconds no requests, but it's free and does not take much to go back automatically and just for a bit of money you can make it never spin down, really, really easy to set up

Avoid the free plan, it will take ages for responses. But, the entry level paid tier is absolutely fantastic for small scale projects. For $7.00 a month, you get instant responses, it is super easy to set up an api, and then, super simple to keep it updated by linking a GitHub repository. Fantastic!

Don't waste your time on Render’s free tier. I spent hours setting up and deploying a data dashboard, only to find out that the app goes to sleep and doesn’t reliably wake up. The initial deployment worked, but after some idle time, it just stopped responding — returning “Bad Gateway” errors for anyone trying to access it. The worst part? There’s no clear warning upfront. You only realize the limitations after you’ve committed real time and energy into getting things running. The free tier is not just limited — it’s broken. It gives the illusion of being portfolio-friendly or good for testing, but it simply isn’t stable enough to trust for anything public-facing. Save yourself the frustration and use another platform.

Fake prices, instead of charging you 4.50 an hour for one GPU, it charges you $5.00 to use 7 GPUs for three minutes. It's ridiculous.

Beware - Do not sign up for the free plan! Avoid. The free plan that they offer requires a credit card and promises no fees, but after you begin trying it out, they will begin charging your CC. I went from discovering their free plan to $40 being charged to my CC and they refused to refund. Then when I cancelled my account, they continuously bill you more charges - it's a joke. I've flagged them with my payment provider and blocked any further payments, but the charges keep coming in every day. Like every day i get a new one. This is a trap and sharp practice, trust me, avoid this site and do not give them your CC details no matter what. I've never had anything like this happen before but wanted to write about my experience to show others what to expect.

My app is not building and not retrive any errors, i jump on their chat maybe they can help me, nothing... 2 days with ticket created my app still not running. My honest experience about them is they are big and doesn't care anymore is just one fish on a big sea....
