> Qiniu
Qiniu Cloud AI LLM Inference is a managed MaaS platform that provides a unified, compliant API for over 50 mainstream LLMs. It is compatible with both OpenAI and Anthropic protocols, offering new users substantial free tokens and flexible resource packages for production scaling.
// pros
- Officially operated compliant enterprise-grade MaaS with a legal entity — far better stability/compliance than individual relays
- Dual OpenAI + Anthropic protocol compatibility at api.qnaigc.com/v1, 50+ mainstream models, full API docs/console/key generation
- 3M tokens for new users, plus Qwen/GLM/Longcat/Arcee/Nemotron and other open-source models permanently free
- Third-party benchmarks (alongside SiliconFlow, Bailian, Volcano Ark) position it as enterprise-grade compliant MaaS
// cons
- 3M tokens is a one-time new-user grant; after depletion it auto-switches to pay-as-you-go (closed-source models paid)
- Free grant is auto-issued only after billing is generated — slight delay and threshold
- Developer-oriented; requires real-name/enterprise registration and filing
Qiniu is an official, compliant big-vendor MaaS free tier — stable and compliant, with a callable API and permanently free open-source models — suitable for steady developer use; note that after the 3M tokens run out, closed-source models switch to pay-as-you-go, and long-term free is limited to open-source models.
community_reputation
Qiniu is a well-known compliant cloud vendor; official docs, billing pages, and multiple third-party benchmarks (CSDN, SegmentFault, Xmsumi/WMW) consistently confirm OpenAI/Anthropic compatibility, 50+ models, 3M tokens for new users, and 5 fully-free LLMs. Positioned as enterprise-grade compliant MaaS with high reputation and trust.
imported analysis — independent third party, not Uprouter editorial · verify before relying on it
How we estimated this: the free allowance is converted to a dollar value using the provider’s own pay-as-you-go rates for the models a typical developer would reach for. When the allowance is metered in requests, tokens or minutes rather than dollars, we assume median usage of the cheapest capable model. Because assumptions are involved, the figure carries the est. flag — treat it as an order of magnitude, not a quote.
note: First API key activates a shared 3M-token free resource pack (~$3 at $1/1M; auto-granted ~1h after first billable usage), then PAYG; several open-source models are permanently fully free (bonus, unquantified).

$ Does Qiniu have a free tier?
Yes — Qiniu offers a free tier that we value at roughly $3.00 in free credits (estimate — derived from rate-limited usage at pay-as-you-go prices). Always confirm current limits on Qiniu's official pricing page — free tiers change without notice.
$ How much does Qiniu cost per 1M tokens?
Qiniu does not publish simple per-1M-token pricing (it may bill per request, per output, or via a subscription plan). Check their official pricing page for exact figures.
$ Is Qiniu safe to use?
Uprouter rates Qiniu as low risk. Rated low risk. an official provider with a free tier with pricing, authentication and terms documented on its own site. The model coverage is consistent with a real upstream, so data and reliability risk are modest. Risk ratings are editorial, evidence-based, and never influenced by affiliate relationships.

Uprouter runs its own probes; best-effort, not a guarantee. Probe results depend on our network location and cadence — for production, always use the provider’s own status page.
risk_&_confidence
Rated low risk. an official provider with a free tier with pricing, authentication and terms documented on its own site. The model coverage is consistent with a real upstream, so data and reliability risk are modest.
Confidence reflects how much verifiable evidence (official docs, probe history, community reports) backs this entry. Risk is our editorial assessment of operator reliability and terms — not financial advice.
