What you get

OpenAI-compatible router with free models beside a metered catalog, routing, caching and fallbacks

Free models

nemotron-3-ultra, nemotron-3-super, gemma-4-31b, ling-3.0-tiny, muse-glimmer-30b, nemotron-3.5-lightning, leanstral-1.5, nemotron-3-nano-30b, nemotron-3-nano-omni, ling-3.1-flash

Limits, in the vendor’s words

200 requests/day per account

No credit card for the Free plan, which serves free models only. Routing, caching, fallbacks, spend tracking and EU data residency are included. Past the free allowance the same key moves to pay-as-you-go.

Where it is offered

The vendor names no country it keeps the offer from (source, read 2026-09-26).

What happens to what you send

What you send may be used to train or improve models. In the vendor’s words: “Where a Model Provider trains on prompts, we label that model a Training Permitted Model so you can see exactly which ones they are, and every model we label that way is offered free of charge. Requesty’s own use of content for training is limited to free plan accounts.” (source).
