| Quota | free_tier [monthly_credits] “cheahjs: 'Limits: $5/month'. Vercel pricing docs: 'The free tier includes a subset of models, not the full catalog. ... Free tier requests are also rate limited per model, with lower limits than the paid tier. ... Your free credits start when you make your first AI Gateway request. ... Once you purchase credits, your account transitions to the paid tier and the monthly free credit no longer applies.'” |

| Notes | No model records written: the free tier covers only a subset of the catalog (browsable at vercel.com/ai-gateway/models?freeTier=true, a JS page), and the public /v1/models API (probed 2026-07-17, 302 models, no auth needed) exposes no free-tier flag — so which models are free could not be confirmed without guessing. Supports OpenAI Chat Completions, OpenAI Responses, and Anthropic Messages APIs; BYOK is paid-tier only. |
