AI API Router Directory

Vertex AI serves Google's Gemini models through Google Cloud's paid API (aiplatform.googleapis.com), with project-level billing and a choice between global and non-global endpoints; the generative-AI pricing URL now renders as the Agent Platform (Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform) pricing page. Published list prices per 1M tokens: Gemini 3.8 / 3.7 / 3.6 Flash are on introductory pricing of $0.75 input and $3.75 output through December 31, 2026, rising to $1.50 and $7.50 on January 1, 2027, while Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite is $0.30 input and $2.50 output and Gemini 2.5 Flash is $0.30 and $2.50. The Vertex pricing page states no standing free monthly token allowance for Gemini; Google's free-tier documentation instead gives $300 in 90-day Free Trial credit and a separate free tier for many Gemini models under the Gemini Developer API (AI Studio).

Google Cloud Free Trial gives $300 in Welcome credit valid for 90 days for eligible new billing accounts (cloud.google.com/free/docs/free-cloud-features); the Vertex generative-AI pricing page itself lists no free token allowance but does include 5,000 free grounding queries per month across Gemini 3 models.

Hajimi API (api.gemai.cc) is a Chinese third-party relay aggregation platform. It specializes in routing requests to Claude, Gemini, and GPT models through a unified OpenAI-compatible endpoint, primarily catering to users requiring simplified access to international models.

New users get 100 units of balance by default (community figure ~¥500 (≈$74.39)), QQ-email signup only; there is a daily check-in farming crowd; 'limited perk' zero-priced models can be delisted anytime.

Google AI Studio gives free API access to Gemini models — free input and output tokens under per-model rate limits, not a depleting credit. Current-generation Flash models (including Gemini 3.8 Flash) are free-tier eligible. Paid tiers unlock higher limits, context caching, the 50%-off Batch API, and the most advanced models on the same API; free-tier data is used by Google to improve its products, paid-tier data is not.

Estimated based on high free-tier rate limits (RPD) vs paid input/output rates for equivalent usage.

Lightning AI (LitAI) provides a unified gateway to frontier models through an OpenAI-compatible API. New users receive 40 million free tokens (approx. $15 in credits) to test models like Claude, GPT, and Gemini. Usage beyond the initial credit is billed as pay-as-you-go.

~30M free tokens per user per month (~15 credits = $15 value), no card required; credits refresh monthly and expire if unused; plus 1 free 4-CPU Studio and 10GB Drive.

Helyx markets itself as a unified OpenAI-compatible API gateway for frontier models (Claude Opus 5, Claude Haiku 4.5, GPT-5.4 Nano, Gemini, Kimi, DeepSeek) claiming 50+ models behind one endpoint, with a published rate card of five active models including DeepSeek-V4 Pro at $0.400 in / $0.750 out per 1M tokens (50% off its $0.800/$1.50 list) and MiniMax M3 at $0.300/$1.200. Signup is Google or GitHub with no password, and the account is credited with $10.000000 free: $2.000000 instantly plus $8.000000 released on request. Paid top-ups are crypto-only (USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH, TRON) and every deposit is doubled ($5 pays $10 credit, $25 pays $50), with credits stated to never expire and no subscriptions or daily caps. The domain in this listing, helyx.ai, is dead - it returns a 404 DEPLOYMENT_NOT_FOUND from Vercel - and the live Helyx AI site is served from helyxai.space.

$10.000000 signup credit ($2.000000 instant, $8.000000 released on request) as stated on the helyxai.space homepage and pricing page; the $10 figure is the operator's own published grant, not a conversion.

The Gemini app is free with a personal Google Account at 'standard limits'; Google's help centre states Gemini Apps use compute-based usage limits that refresh every 5 hours until a weekly limit is reached. Free accounts get a 32k-token context window and access to Gemini Flash-Lite, Flash and Pro models, while paid tiers raise limits (Google AI Plus 2x at $4.99/mo, AI Pro 4x at $19.99/mo, AI Ultra 5x or 20x at $99.99 and $199.99/mo) and lift the context window to 1M tokens on Pro and Ultra.

Poe is Quora's multi-model chat product that aggregates GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Kimi and image/video/audio bots behind one subscription and one points balance rather than separate provider plans. Official subscription plans are annual: $49.99/year ($4.17/month) for 10 thousand points per day, $199.99/year for 660 thousand points per month, $499.99/year for 1.65 million, $999.99/year for 3.3 million and $2,499.99/year for 8.25 million points per month, with an add-on rate of $30 per 1M points that subscribers can buy for API or one-off use.
