The details behind every listing.

A useful free offer comes with enough information to decide whether it fits your project.

What we check

We review official provider documentation for the allowance, reset schedule, eligibility, card requirement, expiration and billing behaviour. Each listing links to the sources used and displays the date they were checked.

What “docs checked” means

The provider’s published documentation was reviewed. It does not mean we created an account, tested the API, verified every region or obtained a service guarantee. Personally tested offers will be labelled separately when that testing happens.

Unknown stays unknown

If a requirement is not established, it is marked unconfirmed. We do not infer that a card is unnecessary just because a page says “free.” We do not convert compute credits into guaranteed requests or minutes without the required pricing assumptions.

How offers are selected

The focus is ordinary-user access to AI APIs, developer tools and compute. Student-only, funded-startup-only and invite-only programs are outside the initial directory. Regional eligibility can still apply.

What changes over time

Providers can change terms after a review. Source dates show the last documented check, not a promise of continuous monitoring. The directory is maintained through reviewed updates; it does not automatically publish agent discoveries.

How we rank

The initial directory order is editorial. A large commission does not establish a better free offer. Filters help you choose according to your own requirements.
