Free Catalyst usage for student projects

Claim Deal

Catalyst by Zoho is free for students building non-commercial applications. There is no subscription fee and no credit card required. You get full-stack hosting, serverless functions, databases, authentication and AI tooling, with free bandwidth and free collaborators.

Student projects can use up to $250 in Catalyst usage over a six-month period at no cost. If a project reaches that threshold, it is temporarily stopped rather than charged.

The program is meant for learning, experimentation, coursework, hackathons and personal non-commercial projects.
