It is indeed free, if you're smart about it. They don't exactly tell you when you're about to create something that isn't free, you basically have to double check to make sure. The great thing is, they only charge for what you use, so in most cases your $200 credit will absorb the costs and hopefully you'll realize that something isn't quite right with your 'free' tier account.

My advice is...don't blow your $200 line just trying things out. Save it as a just in case, or for small tests. Unless that is, you're ready to move beyond the free tier.
