Rebuilt FreeTiers β€” find the best free tiers for your next project

Hey everyone πŸ‘‹

A while ago, I built a simple blog-style site using Publii to share tools and services with generous free tiers. It helped some people, but I always felt it could be much more useful β€” something you could actually search, filter, and explore interactively.

So over the past months, I rebuilt freetiers.com completely from scratch using Next.js.
Now it’s much more than a static list β€” it’s a real directory with:

  • πŸ” Advanced filters β€” easily find tools by category, limits, features, region available, commercial use, credit card, programming languages, free tier types , ...
  • ⚑ Preset filters β€” curated β€œcommon needs” like startup stack, cloud infrastructure, authentication and security, databases with the ability to save and name your own filters for personal needs and eventually share them
  • πŸ“‘ Bookmarks β€” save both products and filters for later
  • πŸ“Š Infographics summaries β€” quick visual insights of products
  • 🀝 Programmatically generated comparisons, lists, and alternatives posts

I’m still improving the dataset and structure β€” many entries are work in progress β€” so I’d really appreciate feedback, especially from anyone who has used these services firsthand.

πŸ’¬ I’d love to hear your thoughts on:

  • How useful the site feels right now
  • How you’d improve the dataset or UI
  • What categories or filters you’d like to see next

Thanks for reading β€” this project means a lot to me, and I want to make it genuinely helpful for indie devs, students, and anyone trying to build without spending much at first.

    I forgot to add an example of preset filters so here's one for startups that returns product that are always free and allowed for commercial purposes : https://www.freetiers.com/directory?freeTierTypes=Always Free&commercialUse=allowed
