I totally forgot, Codesandbox.io's devboxes might work… I don't full understand them though.

most of your apps don't need to be always running anyway, i don't think i've seen a single backend in the ats that couldn't get away with being serverless yet

obviously I don't think serverless is the best option but it's often free (with limits of course) - expecting a free service to provide you with unlimited hosting forever is very silly

Glitch seems to be the best option. If you were to run your projects 24/7, you can run 1 project with the free time it gives you. However, if you don't need your projects online 24/7. The free monthly hours will suffice for many projects. As long as the software you are hosting can be hosted on port 3000, it'll simply work. However, if you are running a python program that relies on anything Python 3.7 doesn't have, you can't use it.

Here's a summary/tldr below
Total monthly hours: 1000
Hours a 24/7 project uses: 672 a month
Free?: Yes
Requires card?: No

Considering full git instances are being hosted on Glitch, it'll work great for most applications. At least for small hobby projects that won't receive hundreds to thousands of requests.

Vercel seems to be perfect for now but I'll do some testing first.

After some research, I conclude that Vercel cannot be used for scratchattach hosting but it can be used for flask servers and perhaps as a pinging system for glitch
