Source · asOf 2026-10-26 · Pricing page fetched twice 2026-10-24 (identical text; page footer 'Last updated 2026-10-22 UTC'): the Free tier card lists 'Limited access to certain models' and 'Free input & output tokens'; each listed model's Standard Free Tier input and output cells read 'Free of charge'. gemini-3.7-flash and gemini-3.5-flash, listed in this row before 0.12.96, no longer appear on the page, so they were removed rather than kept unsourced. 'Gemini 4 Argon is not available on the Free tier.' and gemini-3.1-pro-preview standard free-tier cells read 'Not available'. Batch free-tier cells read 'Not available' for several of these models (gemini-3.8-flash, gemini-3-flash-preview, gemini-2.5-pro, gemini-2.5-flash). Image-generation free-tier cells fetched were Not available. The Free tier card says 'Content used to improve our products'. https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/rate-limits (fetched twice 2026-10-24, identical text, 'Last updated 2026-10-15 UTC') publishes no free-tier RPM, TPM or RPD and says 'View your active rate limits in AI Studio', so limits stay null. Not a $0 price-sort row. The page describes gemini-3.8-flash as 'engineered for long-horizon software engineering' and gemini-2.5-pro as 'A Pro model which excels at coding and complex reasoning tasks.' Re-checked 2026-10-26 (v0.12.131): stored quotes still match. https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/pricing and https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/rate-limits were each fetched twice (~10 s apart, plain curl, no login, following redirects): HTTP 200, no redirect, HTML differs only inside inline scripts, tag-stripped text identical; both footers now read 'Last updated 2026-10-26 UTC'. Every quote above string-matched the whitespace-normalized text except the older footer stamps, which are fetch-date stamps, not row values; the eight listed models' Standard free-tier input cells still read 'Free of charge', and gemini-3.7-flash and gemini-3.5-flash are still absent; values unchanged (Depot data decision to re-date only, approvalRef 'Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u', decidedBy Agent Depo).
- Google AI Studio · free_tool · free
Using Google AI Studio, Google's hosted studio for trying Gemini models, is free of charge in all available regions. This is the studio, not a published API quota; Gemini API calls follow the Free and Paid tiers on the same page.
Limits: none stored.
Source · asOf 2026-10-26 · Pricing page fetched twice 2026-10-24 (identical text; page footer 'Last updated 2026-10-22 UTC'): 'Google AI Studio usage is free of charge in all available regions.' The Free tier card lists 'Google AI Studio access', and model cards link 'Try it in Google AI Studio'. No numeric studio quota or rate limit is stated, so limits stay null. Reclassified free_docs -> free_tool in 0.12.94 because the quote is about using a hosted product, not reading docs. https://aistudio.google.com is client-rendered (no usable text) and is not a source.

- Cohere trial key, chat · free_inference · free
Trial (evaluation) key for the Chat models on the page, 20 req/min each. Free but limited in usage, not a production key.
Limits: apiCallsPerMonth: 1000 · requestsPerMinute: 20 · monthlyCapSharedAcrossTrialKey: true
Source · asOf 2026-10-25 · Page fetched twice 2026-10-25 about 10 s apart without logging in (HTTP 200, no redirect, identical HTML; response header 'last-modified: Fri, 23 Oct 2026 21:27:48 GMT'; the page itself shows no last-updated date). 'Cohere offers two kinds of API keys: evaluation keys (free but limited in usage), and production keys (paid and much less limited in usage).' 'Trial keys (and prod keys on newer Chat model variants) are limited to 1,000 API calls a month.' 'Prod keys work like trial keys for newer model variants such as Command A Reasoning.' Chat API (per model) table: every listed model has a trial rate limit of 20 req / min (Command A+, Command A Reasoning, Command A Translate, Command A Vision, Command A, Command R+, Command R, Command R7B, North Mini Code), e.g. 'Command A 20 req / min 500 req / min'. The 1,000 calls a month is the trial key's cap, not 1,000 per product. Values unchanged from 2026-10-03.
