## What it is
Free For Life is a large, community-curated list of free services, tools, and resources for developers, spanning categories like APIs, AI, databases, DNS, email, PaaS, and design. It is maintained via contributions and rendered as a browsable website.

## Use cases
- find free APIs for a side project
- discover free-tier hosting and PaaS providers
- look up free domains, DNS, and SSL options
- find free AI and ML services with free quotas
- find free developer tools like code editors and monitoring
- find free resources for students

## When to choose
- you want a curated, categorized directory of free developer services
- you're bootstrapping a project on a zero budget
- you want to compare free tiers across many service categories

## When to avoid
- you need a tool or library rather than a reference list
- you need guaranteed up-to-date pricing since free tiers change frequently
- you need programmatic access to the data rather than a browsable list

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
- maturity: active
- function: documentation, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, cloud-computing, apis, awesome-lists
- platform: -
- tags: awesome-list, free-tier, curated-list, free-resources, free-for-dev, web-server
