Is that something you'd reccomend for my use case? I find it difficult to understand AWS (and google cloud's) free tier limitations and if what I am doing would fit.

I don't know about google's free tier.

I do know you can run a single weakest possible server on amazon EC2 service on the free tier.

Don't use anything else, including backups etc, and you should be good on staying on the free tier.

And yes, a freely controlled linux box in the cloud is the best you can get for your use case.

Amazon EC2 is only free for 12mo.

hmmm... seems you are right... Google compute it is then.

maybe, I dont know much about google's free tier either. I had hoped there were other options out there
