Zeabur is a dashboard for deploying services and servers, with plans from a free tier to $79 a month for teams. The plan price covers the dashboard only, so the cost of running your services comes on top. - **Value for money: B.** Dev is $5 a month after a 14-day trial, inside the cheaper quarter of web hosting. The price is for the dashboard, and server costs are separate. - **Free plan and trial: C.** Free plan has dashboard basics, community support and 48 hours of logs. The 14-day trial on Dev and Pro is the way to try more. - **Features: C.** Services and servers, monitoring, backups, logs, email and team roles. Advanced-model Agent messages are not on Free, and running costs sit outside the plan. - **Ease of use: C.** Deploying services means choosing servers and setup, and the listing shows a learning curve with no store rating. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web dashboard only, with a single integration on the listing.
