Methodology
Every limit has an official source and a checked date.
What makes the list
Providers with a confirmed free tier and at least one verified free model: 36 providers and 209 models today. Trials and evaluation access are labelled.
Units
Tokens stay tokens and requests stay requests. Dollar credits and Cloudflare neurons keep their own units. Per-minute limits and account settings can lower what you get.
Shared allowances
A shared credit covers several models, so you can’t add them up. One-time grants show their expiry.
A dash is not unlimited
A dash means not published or not verified. “No card” appears only when verified.
Sources and freshness
Last source check: 2026-10-21. Values without evidence stay blank. Changes are in the changelog.
Default order
Highest Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index first. Unranked models come last.
Review
A person checks every submission against its source page before it enters the directory.
Sponsorship
Paid placements are labelled Sponsored and never change rankings.
