Google AI
★ 5/5 · Free API
Google's AI portfolio spans Gemini models, Search AI, Vertex AI, and consumer productivity tools.
Pros
- Free access to Gemini models (Flash 3.5, 2.0, 1.5 Pro) without credit card requirement
- 10-30 requests per minute rate limits sufficient for prototyping and personal projects
- generous 2M context window on 1.5 Pro enabling processing of long documents
Cons
- Prompts and outputs may be used by Google to improve models on free tier (data privacy limitation)
- confusing model naming and versioning requiring documentation reading to understand differences
- API-focused platform lacks built-in chat UI compared to gemini.google.com consumer version
Cost
Free tier with rate limits; API pricing e.g. Gemini 2.5 Flash ~$0.30 per million input tokens / $2.50 per million output tokens (Gemini 2.0 Flash is a prior-generation model, pricing may no longer be current)
Verdict
Best for developers building AI applications who need free model access and detailed API control, though free tier data usage restrictions apply.
