All new users receive a small free allowance to test out OpenRouter. There are many
free models
available on OpenRouter. These models have low rate limits (
requests per day total) and are usually not suitable for production use. If you have purchased at least
credits, the free models will be limited to
requests per day.
You can also use the
Free Models Router
(
openrouter/free
) to automatically select a free model for your requests.
How do volume discounts work?
OpenRouter does not currently offer volume discounts, but you can reach out to us over email if you think you have an exceptional use case.
What payment methods are accepted?
We accept all major credit cards, AliPay and cryptocurrency payments in USDC.
