The catch
Not every model has a free tier. Check your project's live limits. Free-tier data may be used to improve Google's products. Image-generation models should not be assumed free because chat access is free.
Before you claim it
- Open the provider’s official page and confirm your account and region qualify.
- Check the live allowance for the exact model or feature you intend to use.
- Review billing settings before enabling paid usage or adding a payment method.
