Who serves it free

Google AI Studio (Gemini API)

🔌 LLM APIs with free tier · no card · not offered in mainland China, Russia, Hong Kong and 13 more places · last probe 2026-10-26 · listed since 2026-09-25

Free tier on the Gemini API, priced model by model rather than as one account quota

Provider-wide limits

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. Access to the 2.5 models is restricted to projects that previously used them. Actual rate limits are visible after signing in to AI Studio. Free-tier prompts and responses may be used to improve Google products; paid usage has different data-use terms. Context caching is free on the Flash models and unavailable on the Flash-Lite ones.

Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform express mode (formerly Vertex AI)

🎁 Trials (no card when possible) · no card · last probe 2026-10-26 · listed since 2026-09-23

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

Provider-wide limits

Stable Gemini models: 10 requests/minute per project per model (Free express trial lasts up to 90 days); for gemini-2.5-pro, gemini-2.5-flash

Preview Gemini models: Per-minute requests allowance: amount varies per project per model (Free express trial lasts up to 90 days); for gemini-3.1-pro-preview, gemini-3-flash-preview

The 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.
