- free tier: no free tier of any kind. Every plan is paid: 'Chat $25/mo', 'Developer from $50/mo', 'Business Custom'. The Chat plan advertises 'Flat-rate pricing designed for scale with unlimited tokens' across a catalogue of '40,000+ open models', capped at a 32K context window and 4 concurrent units. | unit: unlimited | metered on: wall-clock | read on: 2026-10-22 | source: [1] | note: none

- limits:
  - request-rate (binding): on the cheapest plan the context window and 4 concurrent units bind before anything else: 32K of context and four units in flight, with no production API on that tier at all. [1]
- limits note: on the cheapest plan the context window and 4 concurrent units bind before anything else: 32K of context and four units in flight, with no production API on that tier at all.
- binding note: the same as limits note
- interface detail: inferred from the tooling the provider documents; not probed
- tooling: not stated
- composes with: USD 25 a month for unlimited interactive chat tokens is the cheapest per-token cost if the workload is one person talking to a model; it buys nothing for an agent, because the Chat plan excludes API traffic and automation.
- reliability: no reliability event recorded
- notes: The word 'unlimited' is the trap: the same page's footnote restricts the Chat plan to human-driven use and excludes benchmarking, and the Developer plan is metered per token instead. So the free-looking offer is neither free nor unlimited for a programmatic workload. No free trial is published, which makes this a paid-only record rather than trial-only.
