PicoCloud free hosting

PicoCloud

Private side-project APIs, prototypes and Python/Node tools that tolerate sleeping after inactivity.

Facts

Free allowance
3 apps · about 14 runtime hours/month
Plan limits
5 GB traffic · 100 build minutes · 256 MB RAM/app · no card
Storage
Free build and app storage byte quotas not published in reviewed Free-plan documentation. Homepage says an app database is available; persistent volumes are advertised under paid Hobby, so do not assume ordinary disk survives redeploys.
Account
Free PicoCloud account required for retained apps; no payment card needed. Agent MCP uses OAuth consent.
Retention
Ongoing free plan without trial expiry. Free apps sleep after 5 minutes of no visitors and wake on the next request; when monthly allowance is exhausted, apps pause until reset without deletion. Logs retained 7 days.
Custom domain
One picocloud.app subdomain per app included; connection of an existing custom domain requires paid Hobby (€5/month). Domain registration is not included.
Password protection
Private by default with email invites or secret links; a shared visitor password on Free is not verified. Access-control by email or link is not a viewer password.
Billing
Ongoing €0 without payment card. Usage beyond Free allowance pauses apps until the next month; no automatic overage charges and no automatic deletion for hitting the cap.
Execution
Node.js, Python (Flask, FastAPI, Django), static HTML/CSS/JS, and Dockerfile apps. 3 Free apps with 256 MB RAM each; approximately 14 runtime hours/month, 5 GB traffic, 100 build minutes, 7-day logs. Requests wake apps after 5-minute idle sleep.

Worth knowing

Each app sleeps after 5 idle minutes; about 14 pooled runtime hours/month and 256 MB/app rule out busy or continuously running services. The exact long-term free database/disk retention is not verified.

How we match

Choose the kind of thing you made and the features you need. The results respond to the capabilities recorded in our directory.

Each result explains its fit or mismatch. Unverified commercial-use permission is marked for a terms check. Unknown free features don’t count as confirmed fits.

Apps can run in the browser, as serverless functions, or on a persistent server. For apps, choose a runtime. For AI agents, choose an agent service, MCP server, or code sandbox. For sites and files, choose web pages or file links. A sandbox or serverless endpoint is not a continuously running process. In each group, select several to see hosts that support any selected option. Leave them blank to explore broadly; your agent can check the runtime before publishing. Docs & media candidates also need an exact file-format and size check. Commercial mode removes records with documented personal or non-production restrictions; it does not certify permission on other hosts.

Open a host to read its limits and sources. The agent brief packages your choices and those limits into instructions you can paste into your agent. It does not publish anything.

Each record has its own review date (October 11–November 14, 2026); deployments, privacy, support, and uptime have not been tested. There are no paid placements or affiliate links in this edition.
