What you get
- A US$300 free credit for all eligible Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services, usable for up to 30 days or until the credit is used, whichever comes first.
- Always Free services with no time limit, including AMD-based compute, Arm-based Ampere A1 compute, Block Volume, Object Storage, Autonomous databases, networking, monitoring and more.
- If you do nothing after 30 days, you keep the Always Free services in your account.
Limits
- The $300 credit ends after 30 days or when it is used up. Always Free services have limits that apply.
- Always Free accounts have different capacity limits than Pay As You Go accounts.
- Accounts idle for 30 days or more may be treated as abandoned and suspended or terminated.
Who qualifies
- One Oracle Cloud Free Trial or Always Free account per person. Creating or trying to create multiple free accounts is prohibited.
- Contact and billing information must be accurate. Oracle accepts credit cards and debit cards that work like credit cards, but not PIN debit, virtual single-use or prepaid cards.
Claim it with an AI agent
A browser or computer-use AI agent, for example Grok Bot or Meta's Muse, can do most of the clicking and setup. You keep the steps tied to your identity, money and legal consent.
The agent can do
- Open the official Free Tier page and walk you through eligibility, regions and the Always Free list.
- After you sign up, set up budget alerts and check which resources are Always Free eligible before creating them.
- Create the resources you ask for and delete them when you're done.
You do yourself
- Enter your card details yourself for identity verification.
- Provide your own real contact and billing information.
- Accept Oracle's terms yourself.
- Decide yourself whether to switch to Pay As You Go.
Example prompt: "Open the official Oracle Cloud page (oracle.com) and check that this offer still matches what it says there. Once I've signed in, set it up for me. Stop and hand control back to me at any sign-in, phone or ID check, card field, captcha or terms acceptance."
Oracle explicitly prohibits creating or attempting to create multiple free accounts. Use one account.
