| Free tier | a one-time credit: USD 10 of free credits on the first automatic authentication with Tetrate through goose, for new and existing Tetrate users, per the goose installation page; Tetrate's own pages state USD 5 for a new user with a work email and USD 10 for a holder of an existing Goose API key, not stacked, claimed with a company-details form and a USD 1 Stripe payment refunded as account credit; unverified: which of these figures applies to a given account, and whether the credit expires unit credits; metered on unstated; credits are denominated in USD and drawn down per request at the model price plus a 5% routing fee; the two vendors' pages disagree on the amount and the claim steps; unverified: whether any model is priced at zero, since the public catalogue read here lists 15 of 220 models |
|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Limits |
|
| Binding | volume-quota the one-time credit is spent per token at model price plus 5%; no recurring allowance is stated |
| Identity | card sign-up by GitHub or Google account; the vendor's bonus claim asks for a verified non-alias email (a work email for the USD 5 credit), a company-details form and a USD 1 Stripe payment within 24 hours refunded as account credit; the goose page states the USD 10 is applied on first automatic authentication and names no payment step; unverified: which path an account takes, behind a sign-up |
| Egress | not published |
| Interface | rest |
| Tooling | any OpenAI-compatible client at https://api.router.tetrate.ai/v1 with an API key from the Developer Console; goose offers it as a provider with browser authentication |
| Composes with | a one-time USD credit routed to hundreds of models of OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, xAI and Groq behind one OpenAI-compatible key; after the credit, pay as you go at model cost plus 5% |
| Reliability | the bonus program says a prior bonus blocks a further one and an email domain has a 5-claim cap; no outage or suspension record was read |
| Notes | the goose installation page and the vendor's pages state different credit amounts (USD 10 versus USD 5 or 10) and different claim steps; the public catalogue at https://router.tetrate.ai/api/public/models is readable without a key. |
| Evidence note | documented the credit figures, the claim steps, the fee and the endpoint are quoted from the goose page and from the vendor's own pages; the pages disagree on the amount and on the payment step, and rate limits, expiry and free-priced models were not read. |
