Have you heard of virtual debit cards? You can't charge what's not there.
Also, at least AWS will in fact send you an email when you approach the end of free tour usage.
Having said all that, most devs can host the few hundred visits they might get over a month with a $200 home server and a free CloudFlare cache if they know what they're doing.
I tried one and it didn't work. Reading about it said they block those.
I don't need an email. I need it to stop instantly. In the time it takes me to notice an email, I could have hundreds of dollars in charges.
All cloud providers will support budget notifications. That doesn't do much good when you shoot past the budget in a short timespan. I set a Google cloud budget of $20/month and enabled a Tensorboard instance, which had no observable indication that it cost anything except the base cost of the VM, and got notified that I was $280 over budget the next day. Apparently there was an upfront $300/month/user fee for Tensorboard. (Several months later they changed the pricing model to $10 GiB/month with no user fee.)
