Free tier on the Gemini API, priced model by model rather than as one account quota
Free eligibility is priced per model. The current Flash, Flash-Lite and Gemma rows have a free input/output column; Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview and Omni Flash do not. Google is “limiting access to the 2.5 models to users who have actively used them in the past”. Actual rate limits are visible after signing in to AI Studio. Unpaid usage may improve Google products. In the EEA, Switzerland and the UK, Paid Services data-use terms exclude training and “apply to all Services, including Google AI Studio and unpaid quota in the Gemini API”. Google permits “only Paid Services when making API Clients available to users” in those regions. Context caching is free on the Flash models and unavailable on the Flash-Lite ones.

Google Cloud’s express mode: an API key and 90 days of Gemini models within the free tier’s quotas, with no billing information, for a new Google Cloud user on a @gmail.com account
gemini-2.5-pro, gemini-2.5-flashThe free express trial is for new Google Cloud users and requires no billing information. Stable and Preview model rate policies differ; enabling billing is necessary after the trial. Existing Google Cloud accounts do not get this offer. The separate $300 Cloud Free Trial needs a payment method. Express is Preview and may not process personal data. The Express model list still names gemini-2.5-flash-lite, while its Cloud model card gives a retirement date of “October 20, 2026”. The documents give conflicting information about its current availability in Express.
