# FreeLLMAPI

> A free LLM API: one OpenAI-compatible, self-hosted key that routes across every provider with a genuine free tier, for over 7.4 billion free tokens a month. Open source; no credit card required.

The router is free forever and runs on your own machine, so provider keys never leave it. An optional Premium plan ($19/year) keeps the model catalog live rather than on a 30-day delay. The live model count is on /models. Last updated 10 September 2026.
