Can anyone tell me how to deploy free on firebase because I'm getting an error Your project clone-8f487 must be on the Blaze (pay-as-you-go) plan to complete this command. Required API cloudbuild.googleapis.com can't be enabled until the upgrade is complete. To upgrade, visit the following URL:

but you can deploy the website on their server for free

Currently, the firebase is using node version 10 for cloud functions which requires you to pay (pay as you go).

You can change the node from 10 to 8 (to use for free of cost) in functions/package.json

"engines": {
"node": "8". // changed from 10 to 8
},
However, this will be soon deprecated. This is what the firebase website says:
Node.js 8 has been deprecated. Starting Feb 15, 2021, we'll no longer support new deploys or updates of Node.js 8 functions. Starting Mar 15, 2021, we'll no longer support executions of existing Node.js 8 functions.

In my opinion what you can do is create a new project in the firebase account. Take the necassary steps for firebase deployment. LIke firebase init, login, git functions then eventually deploy your project
