Usage
New accounts get a tiny trial credit allowance; call :free-suffixed models or the openrouter/free router to validate integration and compare outputs.
Models
Before $10+ in purchased credits, all free model API calls cap at 50/day with low throughput—not for production. Frontier models (GPT-5.5, Claude Opus, etc.) require topped-up Credits at models page rates.
