Changed fields: free_terms, models_detail, data_treatment, clock. free_terms: OpenCode Zen currently prices thirteen models at Free on its pricing table. Twelve are Free for input, output, and cached-read tokens, and Jev 1.13 Free is Free for input and output. The provider describes every free model as available for a limited time and publishes no request quota or end date. Zen's setup flow says to sign in, add billing details, and copy an API key. models_detail: Free rows on the Zen pricing table on 2026-10-09: Big Pickle, Space Bunny Free, LongCat 2.5 Preview Free, Step 5 Preview Free, Exo Free, MiMo-V2.6-Flash Free, MiMo-V2.5 Free, Ling 3.1 Flash Free, Ling 3.0 Flash Fin Free, Nemotron 3 Ultra Free, Nemotron 3.5 Lightning Free, Muse Spark 1.3 Contributor Free, and Jev 1.13 Free. Jev 1.13 Free is a TypeSafe AI System One model that answers typed yes/no, multiple-choice, and rubric questions instead of generating text. Union Alpha Free was no longer listed on 2026-10-09. Muse Spark 1.2 Contributor Free left the free table by 2026-09-17, and Ox Alpha Free and Hy3 Free were removed before 2026-09-01. The Nemotron endpoints are NVIDIA trial endpoints whose use is logged. Other Zen models are pay-as-you-go. data_treatment: Model-specific. Big Pickle, Exo Free, MiMo-V2.6-Flash Free, MiMo-V2.5 Free, Ling 3.1 Flash Free, and Ling 3.0 Flash Fin Free may use collected data to improve their models during the free period. Nemotron 3 Ultra Free and Nemotron 3.5 Lightning Free log use for security and to improve NVIDIA products and services. Muse Spark 1.3 Contributor Free permits prompts and completions to be used to train future Meta models. The providers of Space Bunny Free, LongCat 2.5 Preview Free, and Step 5 Preview Free follow a zero-retention policy and do not use data for model training. Jev prompts and other inputs are not used for training. clock: All thirteen are limited-time promotions. No end date is stated for any of them.

Changed fields: free_terms, models_detail. free_terms: Poolside offers provider-hosted, OpenAI-compatible chat inference for its Laguna models. The models page says Laguna is free to use for a limited time and shows Laguna S 2.1 and Laguna XS 2.1 under that offer. The Laguna XS 2.1 launch post says free and paid endpoints are both available, with paid pricing of $0.10, $0.20 and $0.05 per 1M input, output and cache-read tokens. No free-endpoint quota or end date is disclosed. models_detail: On 2026-10-09 the models page showed Laguna S 2.1 (poolside/laguna-s-2.1) and Laguna XS 2.1 under the limited-time free offer for the hosted API.

Changed fields: free_terms, models_detail. free_terms: Explicitly limited free promotion for eligible API organizations that opt in to share API inputs and outputs. Eligible Launch and Grow organizations receive up to 1,000,000 tokens/day in the large-model group and 10,000,000 tokens/day in the small-model group; eligible Build organizations receive 250,000 and 2,500,000 tokens/day respectively. Eligibility is shown on the data sharing settings page, and organizations that do not see the offer there are not eligible. Quotas are shared within each group and reset at 00:00 UTC. A request that would cross the daily quota is billed in full, and overage is billed normally. Only traffic from sharing-enabled projects qualifies. A positive account balance is required. Fine-tuned models, fine-tuning training, evals, and tool use are excluded. models_detail: On 2026-10-09, the 1M/250K group listed: gpt-6.1-sol, gpt-6-astra, gpt-6-sol, gpt-6-luna, gpt-5.6-sol, gpt-5.5-2026-04-23, gpt-5.4-2026-03-05, gpt-5.2-2025-12-11, gpt-5.1-2025-11-13, gpt-5.1-codex, gpt-5-codex, gpt-5-2025-08-07, gpt-5-chat-latest, gpt-4.1-2025-04-14, gpt-4o-2024-05-13, gpt-4o-2024-08-06, gpt-4o-2024-11-20, o3-2025-04-16, o1-preview-2024-09-12, and o1-2024-12-17.

Changed fields: free_terms, models_detail. free_terms: Accounts without credit get 10 requests per minute and 60 weighted units per day on the free models; accounts holding credit get 20 requests per minute and 120 weighted units per day. The daily counter resets at 00:00 UTC, and longer prompts use more units. The free page says these limits are shared across free models, while the docs page says each free model is counted separately. An additional IP limit, a site-wide free cap of 15 requests per minute, and a limit of 2 concurrent free requests per account also apply. Past the quota, requests continue at the paid rate only when the account holds credit and paid fallback is on (a header can turn that fallback off); otherwise the request gets a 429 until the quota resets. The docs' example rate-limit header (200 requests per minute) is the paid-tier account limit, not the free quota. models_detail: Two current free-quota models on 2026-10-09 (Qwen: Qwen3.7 Flash and DeepSeek: DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731free) plus auto:free routing; the catalog changes over time.

Changed fields: free_terms, models_detail, card. free_terms: Every new account receives 10 trial calls, shared across all free models, with no credit card and no expiry. A one-time top-up of at least $1 permanently switches the account to daily quotas on the free catalog: 100 requests per day, 10 per minute, and one shared pool of 1M tokens per day, resetting daily. Free models bill $0 within these quotas. Some models carry a higher request weight and have lower caps, ranging down to 10 requests per day and 1 per minute. models_detail: 60 models from 16 model authors listed at $0 input and $0 output on the provider's free catalog page on 2026-10-09. Nearly all are text models, plus a few image models (gpt-image-2-free, gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview-free). The roster changes over time. card: No credit card is required for signup or the 10 trial calls. The daily free quotas require a one-time top-up of at least $1; the provider does not state which payment methods the top-up accepts.

Changed fields: free_terms, models_detail, signup, card, data_treatment. free_terms: The Nova Terms of Use (last updated December 2, 2025) contain no billing or fee language, and the Amazon Nova Act user guide states that API key authentication through nova.amazon.com/act is free of charge with daily limits, while the separate AWS IAM route bills usage to an AWS account. API keys are issued from the developer surface (Terms 1.5), usage may be subject to rate limits or other restrictions at Amazon's discretion (Terms 1.3), and the Build with Nova schedule states the offering is intended for experimentation and does not support deploying production scale developer applications (S-1.1). No numeric daily limits are published publicly. models_detail: Amazon Nova family on the nova.amazon.com developer surface; page metadata names Amazon Nova 2 Lite, Nova Act, and Nova 2 Sonic. On 2026-10-09 the Amazon Nova Act user guide confirmed that Nova Act can be used with an API key from nova.amazon.com/act. The full per-model roster is behind Amazon sign-in and is not publicly confirmable. signup: Required: sign in with an Amazon.com account (users must be at least 18), then get an API key from the developer surface, such as nova.amazon.com/act for Nova Act. card: Not stated. Neither the Nova Terms of Use nor the Nova Act user guide says whether a payment card is needed; the API key route is described as free of charge and tied to an Amazon.com account. data_treatment: Interactions are recorded, retained, may be manually reviewed, and are used to provide, develop, and improve Amazon's services including artificial intelligence models (Terms 1.2).

Models announced for retirement remain reachable through the API for a three-month grace period but are hidden from the catalog. On 2026-10-09 OVHcloud listed Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3, Mistral-Nemo-Instruct-2407 and Mistral-Small-3.2-24B-Instruct-2506 as being decommissioned. The authenticated catalog also prices some entries at Free outright: on 2026-10-09 these were the beta Qwen3Guard-Gen 0.6B and 8B moderation models, stable-diffusion-xl-base-v10, and four NVIDIA Riva text-to-speech voices. Qwen3.8-27B is paid, at 0.4 EUR per 1M input tokens and 2.7 EUR per 1M output tokens. data_treatment: OVHcloud states that user data is never used to train its models and that it keeps only the data strictly necessary for billing.

Ternary Bonsai 27B lists $0 input and $0 output token prices, so its tokens do not consume the purchased balance under published pricing. Other paid usage can drain the balance, and API access is suspended at zero until credits are added. Rate limits are dynamic and best-effort, not a guaranteed unlimited allowance. card: A payment method and a minimum $15 first credit purchase are required; later purchases have a $5 minimum. A card is not the only documented payment route: Together also documents US bank account (ACH) payments, while a credit or debit card is required for auto-recharge.

For Big Pickle, Exo Free, Fledge Alpha Free, MiMo-V2.6-Flash Free, MiMo-V2.5 Free, Ling 3.1 Flash Free, and Ling 3.0 Flash Fin Free, collected data may be used to improve the model during the free period. Nemotron 3 Ultra Free and Nemotron 3.5 Lightning Free are NVIDIA trial endpoints: use is logged for security purposes and to improve NVIDIA products and services, and personal or confidential data should not be submitted. Muse Spark 1.3 Contributor Free trades heavily discounted token pricing for permission to use prompts and completions to train future Meta models. Space Bunny Free and LongCat 2.5 Preview Free come from providers that follow a zero-retention policy and do not use your data for model training, and Jev inputs are not used for training. clock: All thirteen free models are limited-time promotions, and no end date is stated for any of them.

On 2026-10-08 the catalog page lists 20 models, and the product page describes more than 20 open-weight models spanning LLM, text-to-speech, speech-to-text, document analysis, and image analysis. The families present on that date are Qwen, Llama, GPT-OSS, Whisper, bge embeddings, Stable Diffusion image generation, and NVIDIA Riva speech. Seven catalog entries are priced at Free outright on 2026-10-08: the beta Qwen3Guard-Gen 0.6B and 8B moderation models, stable-diffusion-xl-base-v10, and the four NVIDIA Riva text-to-speech voices for German, Spanish, Italian, and US English. The remaining entries are paid, for example Qwen3.8-27B at 0.4 EUR per 1M input tokens and 2.7 EUR per 1M output tokens.

A cumulative top-up of Rp 10,000 raises that to 1,000 requests per day. Its quickstart says users may skip top-up, create a Kenari API key, and call a :free text model through the OpenAI-compatible /v1/chat/completions endpoint without reducing their balance. The free lane is best-effort with no speed or availability guarantee, and once the rate limit is reached Kenari returns HTTP 429 and advises waiting for the Retry-After header when the response carries one. models_detail: Thirteen provider-hosted :free text models per the Solo card on Kenari's homepage on 2026-10-08 (the same card read seventeen on 2026-09-17, eleven on 2026-09-04, and twelve on 2026-08-27, so the roster moves with the provider catalog). Kenari's quickstart notes that the free-model list changes over time and points to a public models endpoint for the list that is active now.

Changed fields: free_terms, card. free_terms: Free model behind a one-time minimum credit purchase. Together AI does not currently offer free trials, and platform access requires a minimum $15 credit purchase for an organization's first purchase, then a $5 minimum for later purchases. The platform is fully prepaid, so a positive credit balance is required and API access is suspended if the balance reaches zero. Ternary Bonsai 27B lists $0.00 input and $0.00 output token prices, so those tokens do not consume the purchased balance under published pricing. Other paid usage can drain the balance. Serverless rate limiting can occur with high request volumes or large bursts of traffic and serverless performance is best effort, so this is not a guaranteed unlimited allowance. card: A payment method and a minimum credit purchase are required: $15 for an organization's first purchase and $5 for purchases after that. A card is not the only documented payment route, because Together also documents US bank account ACH purchases, which deposit credits only after the payment clears. A credit or debit card is required for auto-recharge.

Changed fields: free_terms, models_detail, clock. free_terms: Every new account receives 10 trial calls with no credit card and no expiry, shared across all free models. A one-time top-up of at least $1 switches the account permanently to daily quotas on the free catalog: 100 requests per day, 10 requests per minute, and a single shared pool of 1M tokens per day, all reset daily. Models that carry a higher request weight have lower caps, ranging from 50 requests per day and 5 per minute down to 10 per day and 1 per minute. models_detail: 60 models from 16 model authors listed at $0 input and $0 output on the provider's free catalog page, which was updated on 2026-10-07. Nearly all return text, and two return images (gpt-image-2-free, gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview-free). Every free model answers the Chat Completions, Messages, and Responses protocols.

Changed fields: free_terms, models_detail, signup. free_terms: Standing free-model roster on the CN pricing page, which presents itself as syncing prices in real time and showing only available models, usable at no cost within platform rate limits. Rate limits for the free models are fixed values rather than tiered by spending, and free model calls show as a cost of 0 in the account bill. Specific per-model rate limits are published on the model pages. The roster is dynamically maintained and models can be added or removed; the provider states it retains interpretation rights over which models are free. models_detail: Free ('免费') chat models on the CN pricing page on 2026-10-07, several of them behind the page's expand buttons: THUDM/GLM-Z1-9B-0414, THUDM/GLM-4-9B-0414, deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-0528-Qwen3-8B, Qwen/Qwen3.5-4B, Qwen/Qwen3-8B, Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct, and XingChenAGI/Xing4.0-29B from ChinaTelecom, which the model centre lists with a release date of 2026-09-17.

Changed fields: free_terms, models_detail, signup. free_terms: MythoLite is priced FREE for both input and output tokens on Mancer's model table, so it can be used without buying credits. Mancer's pricing page says it offers free models to test with before making a purchase, and that free models can still be used when an account's credit balance is negative. The same page states that some models are free while most have a per token credit cost, so the free roster is not necessarily limited to MythoLite. Mancer provides no interface of its own, so the free models are reached through its API from another application that supports it. models_detail: MythoLite, a LLaMA 2 13B model tagged Creative and Roleplay, carried a FREE price for both input and output tokens on Mancer's model table on 2026-10-07. The table does not state its context length or its maximum output. The other LLaMA 2 13B model listed, MythoMax, was priced at 0.14 credits per input token and 0.24 credits per output token on the same date. signup: required: Mancer's terms of use direct users to provide accurate information on the platform's registration form and forbid sharing a login, password, or API key, and the pricing page refers to the email used to create the account.

Requesty says the models are free for now and announces changes in its changelog. data_treatment: Requesty says it never uses customer data for training, and that most major providers do not use API data for training by default, with each model detail page carrying that provider's retention and training policy.

Pay-as-you-go carries a €0 monthly fee and bills only for the tokens consumed, which makes this route distinct from Regolo's separate 30-day free trial. Every other model in the library carries a paid per-token rate or is billed per request, per second of audio, per pixel, or per query, so brick-v1-beta is the only zero-cost inference route here. On 2026-10-07 the pricing page also carried a notice that updated rates go live on November 1 and that current pricing rates and plan rules remain active until that date, and the reviewed pages do not state what brick-v1-beta will cost after that change. models_detail: On 2026-10-07 brick-v1-beta was the only model listed at a zero token price. apertus-70b, brick-complexity-pro, gemma4-31b, glm5.2, gpt-oss-120b, gpt-oss-20b, mistral-small-4-119b, qwen3.5-122b, qwen3.5-9b, and qwen3.8-27b all carried paid per-token rates. deepseek-ocr-2, faster-whisper-large-v3, Qwen-Image, Qwen3-Embedding-8B, and Qwen3-Reranker-4B are billed per request, per second of audio, per pixel, or per query rather than per token, so none of them is a free inference route. data_treatment: Regolo presents the service on its pricing page under the heading Zero Data Retention, Fast and Secure AI, and links separate terms, privacy policy, and DPA documents. The reviewed pricing, models, and documentation pages do not state whether prompts sent to brick-v1-beta are used for training, so read Regolo's privacy terms and DPA before sensitive use. clock: Regolo lists brick-v1-beta as a beta model and publishes no retirement date for the model itself. On 2026-10-07 the pricing page carried a notice that updated rates go live on November 1, 2026, and that current pricing rates and plan rules remain active until that date, so the €0.00 listing is only stated to hold until then.

Changed fields: free_terms, models_detail, card, card_required. free_terms: Every new account receives 10 trial calls with no credit card and no expiry, shared across all free models. A one-time top-up of any amount from $1 switches the account permanently to daily quotas on the free catalog: 100 requests per day, 10 requests per minute, and one shared pool of 1M tokens per day, all resetting daily. Some models carry lower caps because one call there counts as several requests: 50 per day and 5 per minute, 33 per day and 3 per minute, 20 per day and 2 per minute, and 10 per day and 1 per minute on gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview-free. Past a cap the API returns 429 until the next minute or day starts. models_detail: 60 models from 16 model authors listed at $0 input and $0 output on the provider's free catalog page (read 2026-10-07), nearly all returning text, with two returning images (gpt-image-2-free and gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview-free); the roster changes over time. card: No credit card is required for the ten trial calls. Reaching the recurring daily quotas takes a one-time top-up of any amount from $1, and the provider does not state which payment methods it accepts for that top-up. card_required: not_stated Evidence: https://aihubmix.com/models/free https://llmpriceindex.smelterlabs.ai/free-access-events/free-program-170b1b307d42bdb3e385 2026-10-07T00:00:00+00:00 Terms changed on 2026-10-07. Changed fields: models_detail. models_detail: The anonymous limit is documented offer-wide per model across the current AI Endpoints catalogue. OVHcloud describes the offer as more than 20 open-weight models, and the catalogue listed 20 models on 2026-10-07, covering Llama, Qwen, Qwen3Guard, GPT-OSS, bge embeddings, Stable Diffusion image generation, Whisper speech to text, and NVIDIA Riva text to speech. Individual models can be retired under OVHcloud's lifecycle process. The authenticated catalogue also prices a few entries at Free outright, on 2026-10-07 these were the beta Qwen3Guard-Gen 0.6B and 8B moderation models, stable-diffusion-xl-base-v10, and the four NVIDIA Riva text to speech voices, while Qwen3.8-27B is paid at 0.4 EUR in and 2.7 EUR out per 1M tokens.

Changed fields: free_terms, models_detail. free_terms: Accounts with no credit get 10 requests per minute and 60 weighted units per day. Accounts that have topped up get 20 requests per minute and 120 weighted units per day, so a top-up doubles both the per-minute limit and the daily allowance. On 2026-10-07 the free page states that this allowance is shared across the free models for an account, with an additional IP guard, a site-wide free cap of 15 requests per minute, and a limit of 2 concurrent free requests per account. The per-minute limit uses a rolling 60 second window and the daily counter resets at 00:00 UTC. When weighted limits are enabled, longer prompts use more daily units, so long-context requests use the allowance up faster; otherwise each request counts once. The developer docs give the general rule as a separate daily count for each free model and add that a model's own listed allowance governs, which is the shared figure shown on the free page. Past the allowance, requests continue at the paid rate only when the account holds credit, and sending the header X-Free-Fallback: false turns that fallback off; an account with no balance gets 429 until the quota resets. The docs' example rate-limit header (200 requests per minute) is the paid-tier account limit, not the free quota. models_detail: Two enabled free-quota models on 2026-10-07: Qwen3.7 Flash (qwen/qwen3.7-flash), with a 1,000,000 token context and text, image and video input, and Deepseek V4 Flash 0731free (deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731free), with a 1,048,576 token context and text input.

Jev 1.13 Free is a structured decision model used through Zen's systemone endpoint rather than a chat endpoint. Union Alpha Free is no longer on the free table as of 2026-10-06. Muse Spark 1.2 Contributor Free left the free table by 2026-09-17, and Ox Alpha Free and Hy3 Free were removed before 2026-09-01. Space Bunny Free and LongCat 2.5 Preview Free come from providers that follow a zero-retention policy, and the Nemotron endpoints are NVIDIA trial endpoints whose use is logged. Other Zen models are pay-as-you-go. data_treatment: Model-specific. Zen says its providers follow a zero-retention policy and do not use customer data for model training, with named exceptions. Big Pickle, Fledge Alpha Free, MiMo-V2.6-Flash Free, MiMo-V2.5 Free, Ling 3.1 Flash Free, and Ling 3.0 Flash Fin Free may have collected data used to improve those models during the free period. Nemotron 3 Ultra Free and Nemotron 3.5 Lightning Free are NVIDIA trial endpoints: Zen says not to submit personal or confidential data, and use is logged for security purposes and to improve NVIDIA products and services.

Changed fields: free_terms, models_detail. free_terms: Kenari offers free account registration and a Solo tier requiring no card, with 50 requests per day across the current free-model roster (16 models on 2026-10-06) at up to 5 requests per minute. A cumulative top-up of Rp 10,000 raises that to 1,000 requests per day. Its quickstart says users may skip top-up, create a Kenari API key, and call a :free text model through the OpenAI-compatible /v1/chat/completions endpoint without reducing their balance. The free lane is best-effort with no speed or availability guarantee; the daily quota returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header when exhausted. models_detail: Sixteen provider-hosted :free text models on 2026-10-06, per the Solo plan card on Kenari's homepage, which reads 50 requests per day for 16 free models. Earlier reads of the same homepage recorded seventeen on 2026-09-17, eleven on 2026-09-04, and twelve on 2026-08-27, so the roster moves with the provider catalog.

The Z-ai, deepseek-ai and Qwen vendor blocks keep 2, 6 and 30 further models behind expand buttons, so the rows visible without expanding are not the full roster. No Baidu ERNIE chat model is free. signup: required; account at cloud.siliconflow.cn via SMS or email login, API key from the console (SMS login favors Chinese numbers, email login supported).

The documentation page carries a shorter nine-row table that leaves out Ling 3.1 Flash, Ling 3.0 Tiny, Nemotron 3.5 Lightning 30B A3B and Muse Glimmer 30B. Requesty says the set is free for now and announces changes in its changelog. data_treatment: Requesty says it never uses customer data for training, and that training and retention policies vary by the underlying model provider, with each model detail page showing that provider's policy. It describes most major providers, naming Anthropic, Vertex AI, Azure OpenAI and AWS Bedrock, as not using API data for training by default. Check Requesty and the underlying provider policies before sensitive use. Evidence: https://www.requesty.ai/pricing https://llmpriceindex.smelterlabs.ai/free-access-events/free-program-1cd9ff4a45db4f543415 2026-10-06T00:00:00+00:00 Terms changed on 2026-10-06. Changed fields: free_terms, models_detail, data_treatment. free_terms: Each account gets a free allowance of 10 requests per minute and 60 weighted units per day while it holds no credit, rising to 20 requests per minute and 120 weighted units per day once the account has credit. Rate limits use a rolling 60 second window and the daily counter resets at 00:00 UTC. The allowance is counted in weighted units rather than plain request counts, so a long prompt consumes more units and long-context work exhausts the day faster. A site-wide free cap of 15 requests per minute and a limit of 2 concurrent free requests per account also apply, alongside an additional IP guard. Past the allowance, requests continue at the paid rate only when the account holds credit and paid fallback is enabled; sending the X-Free-Fallback: false header turns that fallback off, and an account with no balance gets a rate-limit response until the allowance resets. BazaarLink's free tier page says the allowance is shared across the free models, while the API docs say each free model is counted separately. The 200 requests per minute figure in the docs is the paid-tier account limit, not the free allowance. models_detail: Two free-quota models on 2026-10-06: Qwen3.7 Flash (qwen/qwen3.7-flash, 1,000,000 token context, text, image and video input) and Deepseek V4 Flash 0731free (deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731free, 1,048,576 token context, text input). The auto:free route always resolves to a free model. The catalog changes over time. data_treatment: Provider says it does not store message content by default, processing it in memory and keeping only billing metadata such as token counts, timestamps and model IDs. Every request passes automated content moderation, and the provider says it retains the content of requests judged to violate its policy as compliance evidence. Messages are forwarded to upstream providers and remain subject to their privacy policies.

Changed fields: free_terms, models_detail, card, clock. free_terms: Every new account receives 10 trial calls with no credit card and no expiry. A one-time top-up of at least $1 switches the account to permanent daily quotas on the free catalog: 100 requests per day, 10 per minute, and 1M tokens per day, shared across the free models and reset every day. Models that carry a higher request weight have lower request caps, as low as 10 per day and 1 per minute, and past a cap the API returns 429 until the next minute or day starts. models_detail: On 2026-10-06 the provider's free catalog page listed 60 models at $0 input and $0 output, nearly all of them text models plus two that return images (gpt-image-2-free and gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview-free). The page carries its own roster stamp of 2026-10-05, and the roster changes over time. card: No credit card is required for the 10 trial calls. Reaching the daily free quotas requires a one-time top-up of at least $1, which is a payment rather than a card kept on file, and usage within the quotas afterwards bills $0 and does not draw that balance down. clock: The 10 trial calls per new account never expire. After a one-time top-up of at least $1 the daily free quotas are permanent and reset every day, with no published end date.

Changed fields: free_terms, signup, data_treatment, clock, training_use. free_terms: UnoRouter marks part of its catalog free: a model carrying the :free suffix routes only to free providers and never uses an account balance, while the same model name without the suffix is the paid version billed per token. Access requires a UnoRouter account and an API key. UnoRouter's own cap is 1 request per minute, per free model, per user, layered over the upstream provider's own cap, daily token budgets on some free pools that reset at midnight UTC, tokens-per-minute caps triggered by very large prompts, and a per-user concurrency limit on parallel requests. A rate-limited route returns 429 with a Retry-After header, and a model whose free providers are all busy returns 503, which usually clears in minutes. UnoRouter's models, pricing and rate limit pages do not state whether a credit card is required. There is no announced expiry, and availability is best effort: a model leaves the catalog only when every channel is out, and it returns within minutes once a channel recovers. signup: A UnoRouter account and an API key are required. UnoRouter's documentation does not state which sign-in methods are available or whether a credit card is collected at signup. data_treatment: UnoRouter's models, pricing and rate limit pages do not state how prompts sent to free models are handled or whether they can be used for training. Free requests route across upstream provider groups and can fail over between them, so check UnoRouter's privacy policy and the policy of the provider serving the model before sensitive use. clock: Standing best-effort catalog. UnoRouter caps free models at 1 request per minute, per free model, per user, and some free pools also carry daily token budgets that reset at midnight UTC. Upstream provider caps apply on top.

Changed fields: free_terms. free_terms: Free use is capped per account and, on the free tier page, shared across the current free-quota models: accounts with no credit get 10 requests per minute and 60 weighted daily units, and accounts that hold credit get 20 requests per minute and 120 weighted daily units. The rate limit uses a rolling 60 second window and the daily counter resets at 00:00 UTC. The allowance is counted in weighted units rather than plain requests, so longer inputs consume more units and long context requests use the daily allowance up faster. A site wide free cap of 15 requests per minute, a limit of 2 concurrent free requests per account, and an additional IP guard also apply. The two provider surfaces differ on one point: the free tier page says the daily allowance is shared across free models, while the docs page says it is counted separately for each free model. Past the allowance, requests continue at the paid rate only when paid fallback is enabled and the account holds credit, and sending the X-Free-Fallback: false header returns 429 instead; an account with no balance gets 429 until the allowance resets. The account rate limit tiers in the docs, 20 requests per minute below $5 of credit and 200 requests per minute at or above it, are account limits rather than the free quota.

Changed fields: free_terms, models_detail, card. free_terms: Every new account receives 10 trial calls with no credit card and no expiry. A one-time top-up of at least $1 switches the account permanently to daily quotas on the free catalog: 100 requests per day, 10 requests per minute, and a single shared pool of 1M tokens per day, all resetting daily. Models that carry a higher request weight have lower caps, ranging from 50 per day and 5 per minute down to 10 per day and 1 per minute, and the per model caps are listed in the provider's free catalog table. models_detail: 60 models listed at $0 for input and output on the provider's free catalog page, which was marked updated on 2026-10-04 (checked on 2026-10-05). Nearly all return text, two return images (gpt-image-2-free and gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview-free), and many accept vision, audio, video, or PDF input. The roster changes over time. card: No credit card is required for the 10 trial calls, which never expire. Reaching the permanent daily quotas requires a one-time top-up of $1 or more, and free model usage still bills $0 for input and output tokens.

The documentation's example rate-limit header of 200 requests per minute is the paid account tier limit at $5 or more of credit, not the free quota. models_detail: Two free-quota models were enabled on 2026-10-04: Qwen3.7 Flash (qwen/qwen3.7-flash), with a 1,000,000 token context and text, image and video input, and Deepseek V4 Flash 0731free (deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731free), with a 1,048,576 token context and text input. The auto:free route always resolves to a free model. Only enabled free models are listed, and the catalogue changes over time. data_treatment: Provider says it does not store message content by default, processing it in memory and discarding it immediately, and that it keeps billing metadata such as token counts, timestamps and model IDs. Every request passes automated content moderation, and the provider says it retains the content of requests judged to breach its acceptable use policy as compliance evidence. Messages are forwarded to upstream providers and remain subject to those providers' privacy policies.

A cumulative top-up of Rp 10,000 raises that to 1,000 requests per day. Its quickstart says users may skip top-up, create a Kenari API key, and call a :free text model through the OpenAI-compatible /v1/chat/completions endpoint without reducing their balance. The free lane is best-effort with no speed or availability guarantee; the daily quota returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header when exhausted. models_detail: Sixteen provider-hosted :free text models per the Solo tier card on Kenari's homepage on 2026-10-04 (the same counter read seventeen on 2026-09-17, eleven on 2026-09-04, and twelve on 2026-08-27; the roster moves with the provider catalog). card: No card is required. Kenari's homepage lists the Solo tier as free with no top up, and its quickstart says no overseas credit card and no wait for approval are needed.

The other named models are marked Standard and are paid only: claude-opus-5, claude-sonnet-5, deepseek-v4-pro, glm-5.2, gpt-5.6-terra, gpt-5.6-sol, grok-4.5, kimi-k2.7-code, kimi-k3, and minimax-m2.7. The auto smart router is listed separately with dynamic pricing and a free tier quota that varies by the target model it selects, so an auto request routed to an eligible model can draw on the free allowance. The pricing page labels the catalog dynamic, so the roster can change. signup: Required: create an account with your full name, email address, and a password.

A new user can create an account and API key without subscribing, then call the hosted OpenAI-compatible API. Free/default text access is rate-limited to 10 requests per minute, after the provider cut free and enterprise text rate limits by 50 percent on 2026-09-23. The pricing page says offers can vary by account eligibility or promotion stage and that the account bill is authoritative. models_detail: On 2026-10-04 the text model pricing table lists agnes-2.5-flash and agnes-3.0-flash at $0 input, $0 output and $0 cached input, and the page states that cached input, input tokens and output tokens are currently free for both models. agnes-2.5-pro is billed at its published Pro-tier prices, and agnes-3.0-pro is marked coming soon at those same Pro-tier prices. agnes-2.0-flash is not listed on the pricing page.

A one-time top-up of $1 or more then switches the account to permanent daily quotas on the free catalog: 100 requests per day, 10 requests per minute, and a single shared pool of 1M tokens per day, all reset every day. Some models carry lower request caps because one call counts as several requests. On 2026-10-03 those caps were 50 per day and 5 per minute, 33 per day and 3 per minute, 20 per day and 2 per minute, and 10 per day and 1 per minute for the Gemini image preview model. Past a cap the API returns 429 until the next minute or day starts. models_detail: 60 models from 16 model authors are listed at $0 input and $0 output on the provider's free catalog page, which was stamped Updated 2026-10-03 (read 2026-10-03). Most return text only, many also accept vision, audio, video, or PDF input, and two cover images: gpt-image-2-free returns text and images, and gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview-free returns images. The roster changes over time. card: No credit card is required for the 10 trial calls, and those calls never expire. A one-time top-up of $1 or more, which is a payment rather than a card kept on file, unlocks the daily free quotas across the free catalog.

On 2026-10-02 the pricing page states that each API call to Fast Apply, WarpGrep, Compact, Reflex, Embeddings, or Rerank counts as one request against that 200 per month cap, and that once the cap is exhausted, per-token or plan-credit pricing applies. The same page lists a Free subscription plan at $0 per month carrying 250,000 credits with low rate limits, where one credit is about $0.00001 and credits apply to Fast Apply, WarpGrep, Compact, Reflex, Embeddings, and Rerank. Credits do not roll over: they reset monthly on the subscription date. Morph's hosted chat models are listed with per-token prices rather than inside the free request allowance. models_detail: On 2026-10-02 the free tier covers 200 API requests per month across Fast Apply (morph-v3-fast and morph-v3-large), WarpGrep, Compact, Reflex, Embeddings (morph-embedding-v4), and Rerank (morph-rerank-v4), plus 250,000 monthly credits on the $0 Free plan that apply to those same products. Morph's hosted chat models, including Kimi K3, GLM-5.3, GLM-5.3-Flash, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731, and Qwen 3.8, are priced per token.

Nine of them are Free for input, output, and cached reads, and Jev 1.13 Free is Free for input and output with no cached read price listed. The provider describes every free model as available for a limited time and publishes no request quota or end date. Zen's setup flow says to sign in, add billing details, and copy an API key. models_detail: Free rows on the Zen pricing table on 2026-10-02: Big Pickle, Space Bunny Free, LongCat 2.5 Preview Free, MiMo-V2.6-Flash Free, MiMo-V2.5 Free, Ling 3.0 Flash Fin Free, Nemotron 3 Ultra Free, Nemotron 3.5 Lightning Free, Muse Spark 1.3 Contributor Free, and Jev 1.13 Free. Jev 1.13 Free is the free version of Zen's Jev System One endpoint, which evaluates typed questions instead of generating text, and the two Nemotron entries are NVIDIA free trial endpoints. Union Alpha Free no longer appears on the free table on 2026-10-02, Muse Spark 1.2 Contributor Free left it by 2026-09-17, and Ox Alpha Free and Hy3 Free were removed before 2026-09-01. Other Zen models are pay-as-you-go. data_treatment: Model-specific. Big Pickle, MiMo-V2.6-Flash Free, MiMo-V2.5 Free, and Ling 3.0 Flash Fin Free may have collected data used to improve those models during the free period. Nemotron 3 Ultra Free and Nemotron 3.5 Lightning Free are NVIDIA trial endpoints: use is logged for security and to improve NVIDIA products and services, and the provider tells users not to submit personal or confidential data. Muse Spark 1.3 Contributor Free permits prompts and completions to train future Meta models. The providers behind Space Bunny Free and LongCat 2.5 Preview Free follow a zero-retention policy and do not use data for model training. Jev 1.13 Free runs on the Jev APIs, where prompts and other inputs are not used for training and data is retained under TypeSafe AI's privacy policy. clock: All ten are limited-time promotions; no end date is stated for any of them.

A one-time top-up of $1 or more switches the account permanently to daily quotas on the free catalog: 100 requests per day, 10 requests per minute, and 1M tokens per day shared across all free models, reset every day. Some models carry a higher request weight and so allow fewer calls, with published caps as low as 10 per day and 1 per minute.

The allowance is shared across the free models on an account rather than counted per model, with an additional IP guard, a site wide free cap of 15 requests per minute, and 2 concurrent free requests per account. The daily counter is measured in units that grow with prompt length, so long context requests use it up faster, and it resets at 00:00 UTC. Past the allowance, requests continue at the paid rate only when the account holds credit, and the X-Free-Fallback: false header turns that fallback off; an account with no balance gets 429 until the quota resets. The account rate limits in the documentation, 20 requests per minute below 5 US dollars of credit and 200 requests per minute at or above it, are account wide limits and not the free model allowance. models_detail: Two free quota models on 2026-10-02: Qwen3.7 Flash (qwen/qwen3.7-flash) and DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731free (deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731free), plus auto:free routing, which always routes to a free model.

Exhausted routes return 429, or 503 when every provider for a model is busy. Some paid models are also offered free with a request size cap, and oversized prompts on that route return 413.

Changed fields: free_terms, models_detail, signup, clock. free_terms: OrcaRouter serves selected catalog models at $0 under model ids ending in -free, and the built-in orcarouter/free router covers that free tier behind a single id. Calls to these ids never touch the account wallet, and the allowance is a request rate rather than a balance, so a workspace can keep calling the free tier indefinitely while it stays inside the limits. Free traffic is capped by requests per minute and requests per day. Those ceilings are public, returned for every tier by the GET /api/free-package/public endpoint, and the provider tunes them live. They are tiered by lifetime spend: a workspace that has never topped up gets a deliberately small daily allowance and also a per-request prompt-size cap, which is the one limit the provider does not publish as a number, and crossing the lifetime-spend threshold raises both. Paying is optional and only buys higher limits. Free access additionally requires the workspace owner to have linked a GitHub account that has been registered for some time, unless the workspace has paid enough to be exempt. Model ids without the -free suffix bill at the upstream per-token price, and a free id never falls back to a paid model. models_detail: The free lineup is the catalog ids ending in -free plus the orcarouter/free router, which scores each request by difficulty and picks among the workspace's free models. The provider states that the lineup rotates as models join and leave with capacity, so its documentation deliberately lists no ids: the current ids, and the paid model each one shadows, come from the public free-package endpoint. On 2026-10-01 the orcarouter/free model page listed one model in the router, deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-free, on the light tier. signup: An OrcaRouter account and API key are required, and free routes never touch the wallet. Free access is also gated on the workspace owner having linked a GitHub account that has been registered for some time, unless the workspace has paid enough to be exempt. A workspace that meets neither condition has its free requests refused. clock: Standing free route with no stated end date. The request-per-minute and request-per-day ceilings are published per tier at the public free-package endpoint and are tuned live, and the lower tier also carries a per-request prompt-size cap that the provider does not publish as a number. The provider describes the free tier as best-effort capacity rather than a guarantee.

Changed fields: models_detail, data_treatment. models_detail: Requesty's free-models page listed 12 free models on 2026-10-01: NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Ultra 550B A55B, Nemotron 3 Super 120B A12B, Nemotron 3 Nano 30B A3B, Nemotron 3 Nano Omni 30B A3B Reasoning, Nemotron 3.5 Content Safety and Nemotron 3.5 Lightning 30B A3B; Poolside Laguna M.1 and Laguna XS.2; Google Gemma 4 31B IT; Mistral Leanstral 1.5; Ling 3.0 Tiny; and Muse Glimmer 30B. The documentation's free-models table is shorter, listing nine of these and leaving out Nemotron 3.5 Lightning, Ling 3.0 Tiny and Muse Glimmer 30B. Requesty says the set is free for now and announces changes in its changelog. data_treatment: Requesty says it never uses customer data for training. Retention and training policies for the underlying model providers vary, and each model's detail page shows the policy that applies to that provider, so check them before sensitive use.

Changed fields: free_terms, models_detail, signup. free_terms: Relace offers a hosted API free tier for testing its code-focused models. Signup is required. The API reference states that rate limits are a per-key request budget over a rolling 60 second window, that free accounts start at 15 requests per minute, and that the budget scales with account tier. No free token or request quota, renewal cadence, or expiration date is published. models_detail: On 2026-10-01 the pricing page lists four Relace models with per-token prices: relace-search, relace-compact, relace-apply-3, and relace-rank. The API reference also documents Open Models endpoints for chat completions, messages, and listing models. Provider material does not state which of these models the free tier covers. signup: A Relace account and an API key carrying the rlc- prefix are required. Provider material does not state that the free tier itself requires a card or a funded balance, though the API reference lists a 402 response for an account that is out of credits or has no payment method attached.

Changed fields: free_terms, models_detail, card. free_terms: Every new account receives 10 trial calls with no credit card and no expiry, shared across all free models. One top-up of $1 or more then switches the account permanently to daily quotas on the free catalog: 100 requests per day, 10 per minute, and 1M tokens per day, shared across the free catalog and reset every day. Models with a higher request weight carry lower caps, ranging from 50 per day and 5 per minute down to 10 per day and 1 per minute, listed beside each model in the catalog table on 2026-10-01. Past a cap the API returns 429 until the next minute or day starts. models_detail: 60 models from 16 model authors listed at $0 input and $0 output on the provider's free catalog page, read on 2026-10-01 with the page stamped updated 2026-09-30. Almost all return text, many also accept vision, audio, video or PDF input, and two produce images: gpt-image-2-free and gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview-free. The roster changes over time. card: No credit card is required for the 10 trial calls. The daily free quotas require one top-up of $1 or more, a single payment rather than a card kept on file, and the reviewed pages do not state which payment methods that top-up accepts.

The provider states that free-token quotas are provided at no charge and may be reduced without notice. signup: A free API token from the LLM7 dashboard at dash.llm7.io is required. As of 2026-10-01 the provider documents only two access types, Free token and Pro, so there is no documented anonymous access. signup_required: yes Evidence: https://docs.llm7.io/limits https://llmpriceindex.smelterlabs.ai/free-access-events/free-program-35ddeede4f5eb7b93c87 2026-10-01T00:00:00+00:00 Terms changed on 2026-10-01. Changed fields: models_detail, clock. models_detail: Solar Pro 4 (LLM) plus Document Parse, as named on the program page on 2026-10-01. Solar Pro 2 and Solar Pro 3 are no longer named in the program, and the API pricing page lists both with an end of service date of 2026-10-30 (KST). clock: The program window runs through 2027-03-31 23:00 KST. Approved organizations get access from the date of approval until 2027-03-31, for up to one year, so an approval later in the window yields less than a full year.

Changed fields: free_terms. free_terms: The Nova Terms of Use (updated 2025-12-02) are a free-use contract with no billing or fee language. API keys are issued from the developer surface (Terms 1.5), usage may be subject to rate limits or other restrictions at Amazon's discretion (Terms 1.3), and the Build with Nova schedule states the offering does not support deploying production-scale developer applications (S-1.1). Amazon's Nova Act user guide states that API key authentication, using a key from nova.amazon.com/act that is tied to an Amazon.com account, is free of charge with daily limits, while the separate AWS IAM authentication route instead applies usage charges to an AWS account. No numeric limits are published publicly.

Several of these names also appear as separate paid rows in the same catalog, so the $0.00/1M listing is the free one. Upstage Solar Pro 4 has left the free set and is listed at $0.09 in and $0.36 out per 1M. Tencent Hy3 is also outside the free set, at $0.13 in and $0.53 out per 1M. The free set changes without notice. data_treatment: Nous Portal's terms of service say Nous Research may use Your Data for research and for developing, training, fine-tuning, and improving AI and machine-learning models, under a broad license to process it.
