I don't get how you can advertise Kubernetes from 0 euro / month and then you have to choose a node that costs 3 euro / month.

I have no idea if it's cheap or not but how is this kind of advertising legal?

That’s quite common, it means they host the control plane for free but not the kubelets (worker nodes).
I click "Create new cluster", I see "Cluster plan -> development" for 0 (zero) euro / month with "Up to 30 worker nodes". When it says "Cluster plan" I don't read control plane, I read cluster.
Good point, it does indeed read like that
It's normal to split k8s billing between the control plane and the resources being controlled.
