Free tier present — value not quantified
This provider offers a free tier, but its terms don’t convert cleanly into a USD figure (e.g. request-count limits or capacity-dependent pools). We refuse to print a misleading zero here. See the note below and the official pricing page for the exact limits.
note: ChatGPT plans use credit-based usage allowances (credits per 1M tokens, e.g. GPT-5.6 Sol 100/10/500); not a fixed $ credit value. API-key mode billed at standard OpenAI API token rates.
