AgentDeals

Find free tiers, startup credits, and developer deals for cloud infrastructure, databases, hosting, CI/CD, monitoring, auth, AI services, and more. Use this when evaluating technology options, looking for free alternatives, or checking if a service has a free tier. Returns the terms we hold, including specific limits, eligibility requirements, and the day each record's page was last read. Call this tool when a user asks: 'Does Supabase have a free tier?', 'What's cheaper than Vercel?', 'Find me a free database'.

Plan a technology stack with cost-optimized infrastructure choices. In recommend mode this returns, for each role, the set of offers whose terms we can stand behind today — deliberately not a single pick, because under every signal we record dozens of them tie. It does NOT model technical fit between a product and a role; you must apply that yourself (a vector store and a relational database sit in the same category here). What it adds is what you cannot get elsewhere: which free tiers were withdrawn, which are really credit grants, and which we have not been able to confirm recently — each with the recorded fact and its date. Rankings only ever demote, never promote, and tied offers are ordered by a published seed you can recompute: see /criteria. Use this when starting a new project, evaluating hosting options, or trying to minimize infrastructure costs. Call this tool when a user asks: 'What free tools can I use for a SaaS app?', 'Build me a stack under $50/month'.

Compare developer tools and services side by side — free tier limits, pricing tiers, and recent pricing changes. Use this when choosing between similar services (e.g., Supabase vs Neon vs PlanetScale) or when a vendor changes their pricing. Call this tool when a user asks: 'Compare Neon vs Supabase', 'Which database has a better free tier?'.

Track recent pricing changes across developer tools — which free tiers were removed, which got limits cut, and which improved. Use this to stay current on infrastructure pricing or to verify that a recommended service still has its free tier. Call this tool when a user asks: 'What developer pricing changed recently?', 'Are any free tiers being removed?'.
