FreeLLMAPI

FreeLLMAPI is a free, open-source LLM router that exposes 609 models across 34 providers through one OpenAI-compatible key. The service maintains a live catalog that tracks which models are currently free, their quotas, and their availability, reporting 7.4 billion free tokens routed per month. The router itself is self-hosted and open source, meaning users run the routing layer locally while their provider keys stay on their own infrastructure, and the catalog data keeps the router updated with current free-model availability. The core value is convenience and cost: instead of signing up for dozens of providers to chase free quotas, developers connect one endpoint and route requests across the catalog. A premium tier exists at $19 per year or $49 once for lifetime access, which ships new free models, quota changes, and fixes to the user's router the moment they are published, unlocking around 285 models ahead of the free catalog. Billing is handled through Stripe with self-serve cancellation, and the site explicitly notes the price is tax-inclusive. The project is developed by an individual maintainer and distributed on GitHub, making it a community-driven infrastructure tool for the cost-sensitive AI development crowd. The catalog is updated continuously with a live feed, and the project documents which providers and models are currently offering free access so developers can plan their usage. For teams running production workloads, the router includes error handling and fallback behavior that keeps requests flowing when a specific provider quota is exhausted. The project's simple pricing philosophy extends to its billing, with transparent tax-inclusive pricing and no hidden fees, and the manage page allows users to control their subscription and access legacy checkout options when needed. As an open-source project, it welcomes community contributions and maintains a GitHub repository where users can inspect the routing logic, report issues, and suggest provider additions.
