Does the Oracle PAYG account include the Always Free tier?

Yes — Oracle PAYG accounts retain access to the Always Free tier resources (4 Arm vCPU, 24 GB RAM, Autonomous DB) which remain free regardless of billing status.

Can I use Bare Metal servers on Oracle PAYG?

Yes — Bare Metal servers are available on PAYG accounts. They are billed at OCI's hourly rate, which is often more competitive than AWS or GCP bare metal pricing.

What Oracle GPU instances are available on PAYG?

OCI offers NVIDIA A10, A100, and H100 GPU instances on PAYG accounts, subject to regional availability and quota limits.

Oracle Cloud

Oracle Cloud Pay As You Go Account

An Oracle Cloud Pay As You Go (PAYG) account removes all trial credit limits and gives unrestricted access to every OCI service — billed only for what you consume. Ideal for teams that have outgrown free credits or need production-grade OCI infrastructure without credit expiry pressure.

About This Feature

Oracle Cloud's standard free trial provides $300 in credits valid for 30 days. When those credits run out — or if you need resources that exceed free-tier quotas — a PAYG account is required. PAYG billing means no pre-loaded credit cap: you provision what you need and pay for actual usage. This unlocks the full OCI service catalogue including Bare Metal servers, GPU instances (A10, A100, H100), Oracle Autonomous Database, OCI Kubernetes Engine, and the complete networking stack.
