Google Gemini API

OCI Generative AI (now positioned as OCI Enterprise AI) is Oracle's managed service for pretrained and custom models, agents and governance on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, with chat, embeddings, rerank, OpenAI-compatible APIs and an OCI Responses API. Oracle bills it through the public OCI price list, where rates are itemised per model: xAI Grok and Google Gemini entries are priced per 1,000,000 tokens (with cached-input and >200K-context variants), Cohere and Meta Llama endpoints per 10,000 transactions, and private replicas or fine-tuned models on Dedicated AI units per hour. New accounts get a US$300 cloud credit valid for 30 days plus ongoing Always Free services, but Generative AI is not among the AI services Oracle lists as having a free pricing tier.

Oracle Cloud Free Tier gives a US$300 cloud credit to spend within 30 days on all OCI services in addition to Always Free services, switching to pay-as-you-go or Always Free only afterwards (oracle.com/cloud/free/); OCI Generative AI itself is not listed among Oracle AI services with a free pricing tier.

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.
