There's no permanent free tier: the Hobby plan starts around $5\u002Fmo in usage credit, billed further by actual CPU, memory, and network consumption beyond that.

do I choose between Vue, Svelte, and React for this stack?","Reach for React if the team already knows it or the project needs a specific React-only library for an island: it has the largest ecosystem and talent pool of the three. Reach for Vue for a similarly sized ecosystem with a lighter learning curve, especially if migrating content off an existing Vue or Nuxt site. Reach for Svelte if minimizing JavaScript is the priority, since its compiled output is smaller per island than either alternative, which matters most on JavaScript-sensitive pages like documentation or content sites with many small interactive elements. All three integrate with Astro the same way, so switching later means rewriting the island components, not restructuring the site.
