- OpenRouter :free variants and openrouter/free · free_inference · free
Model ids ending in :free, and the openrouter/free router, are priced at zero on OpenRouter. Which models have a free entry changes.

Source · asOf 2026-10-25 · Fetched twice 2026-10-25 about 10 s apart without logging in: https://openrouter.ai/docs/api/reference/limits answers HTTP 308 to https://openrouter.ai/docs/api_reference/limits (HTTP 200; same tag-stripped text both times; no last-modified header; page metadata dateModified 2026-10-10T16:11:54Z). The HTML table cells are empty until scripts run (the page defines the values as constants), so the numbers are taken from the page's markdown view https://openrouter.ai/docs/api_reference/limits.md (HTTP 200, fetched twice, identical): 'Free usage limits: If you're using a free model variant (with an ID ending in `:free`), the following limits apply:' table 'Credits purchased (all time) | Requests per minute | Requests per day', 'Less than 10 | 20 | 50', 'At least 10 | 20 | 1000'. 'Free-model requests allowed per UTC day (see the free usage limits below)'. 'On free variants, purchase at least 10 credits to raise your daily limit, or switch to the paid variant of the model, which has no platform-level request cap.' 'If your account has a negative credit balance, you may see errors, including for free models.' (the HTML renders the status code as a component: 402 Payment Required). The one-credit-below-threshold grace is shown only as the unrendered placeholder '{FREE_MODEL_CREDITS_THRESHOLD - 1}', so it is not stored. The page does not say whether openrouter/free draws on the same caps. Third-party tables were not copied. Do not copy OpenRouter prices or limits onto other Depot providers.
