Do application load balancers have any free trier limits ?

Question

I'm a student and I'm currently on my free tier. I want to use an application load balancer and wanted to know if there are any free tier associated with it. I'm afraid I'll get any billing after using load balancers.

Thank you.

Answer

Please refer **AWS Free Tier** section at [ELB Pricing](https://aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/pricing/).

Additionally this question is answered at [Elastic Load Balancing FAQs](https://aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/faqs/#:~:text=Q%3A%20Is%20a%20free%20tier,your%20AWS%20sign%2Dup%20date.).

Since you mentioned, you are cautious about any charges incurred to your AWS account. I'd strongly recommend you to to setup alert for your usage, you can consider setting up AWS budgets and configure alarm on those, which would notify you, if you cross the defined usage threshold. Follow the [Well Architected Lab](https://www.wellarchitectedlabs.com/cost/100_labs/100_2_cost_and_usage_governance/1_budget_forecast/)  instructions here for setting up budget alert based on your usage.

Hope this answers your question.
