free-for-life

Free For Life is a large curated list of products and services that can be used for free, either permanently or through a generous free tier. It is organized as a directory of links with brief descriptions, grouped by category, and is maintained through community contributions. Categories covered include APIs, Data and ML; Artificial Intelligence; Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS); Calendar; Code Editors; Code Generation; Courses; DNS; Databases; Design and UI; Domains; Email; Font; For Students; Forms; Linux Distributions; Messaging and Streaming; Monitoring; PaaS; Payments and Billing; and SSL. The APIs, Data and ML section lists services such as Abstract API, Apify, Clarifai, Colaboratory, Deepnote, SerpApi, ScrapingAnt and many others, each with a short note on what the free plan includes (for example monthly call limits, credits or storage). The Artificial Intelligence section points to general-purpose assistants and platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini, Hugging Face, Microsoft Copilot, Mistral, Perplexity and Phind. The BaaS section covers backend platforms such as Appwrite, AWS Amplify, Back4App, Firebase, Supabase, Hasura, Nhost and others, noting free-tier limits where relevant. Other sections follow the same pattern: Calendar (Gmail, Outlook, Proton Calendar, Tutanota), Code Editors (VS Code, VSCodium, Neovim, Zed, Cursor and more), Code Generation (Blackbox, Bolt, Codeium, Tabnine, Lovable), and Courses (starting with CS50x). The list is intended as a reference for developers, students and hobbyists looking for no-cost options, and it explicitly asks contributors to follow contribution guidelines rather than editing the generated file directly.
