14.2 IBM Cloud Account and Cloud Console
You’ll need a free IBM Cloud account to access Watson’s Lite tier services. Each service’s description web page lists the service’s tiered offerings and what you get with each tier. Though the Lite tier services limit your use, they typically offer what you’ll need to familiarize yourself with Watson features and begin using them to develop apps. The limits are subject to change, so rather than list them here, we point you to each service’s web page. IBM increased the limits significantly on some services while we were writing this book. Paid tiers are available for use in commercial-grade applications.
