description

Ollama (ollama.com) is primarily a local runtime for open models - the ollama.com pricing page lists a Free plan at $0 whose first feature is "Run models locally" and states plainly that "Local models are always free" - and it also operates a cloud API for models too large for local hardware. The cloud side is priced per million tokens with a published table (for example gpt-oss:20b at $0.07 input / $0.30 output, gemma4 at $0.14 / $0.40, deepseek-v4.1-flash at $0.15 / $0.60 and kimi-k3 at $3.00 / $15.00), with higher peak pricing between 12:00 and 18:00 UTC Monday to Friday. Paid plans bundle usage credits: Pro is $20/mo including $60 of usage, Max is $100/mo including $300, and Team is $500/mo including $1,000 of shared credits, while Free accounts receive a starter amount of usage on a smaller set of starter models and can add credits to unlock all models.
