Verified 2 weeks ago
We checked the official source on September 13, 2026.
Official page states 'Get up to $200 in credits for new customers' and that no charges are incurred on the Free plan unless you upgrade. The page does not mention the card requirement; AWS sign-up asks for a payment method, so we show it as required.
