Free Model alternatives

Free Model offers free browser chat and an OpenAI-compatible endpoint that uses your own OpenRouter or Google AI Studio keys. It is text-only and not self-hostable. The alternatives differ mainly in cost, modalities, and whether they offer routing, failover, or team budget controls. Compare them on whether you need free access, one key for many models, image, video or audio output, or spending limits.
