A free tier on the Gemini API covering Gemini 2.5 Pro, 2.5 Flash, 2.5 Flash-Lite, 2.0 Flash, the Gemma family, and embedding models. Per-model requests-per-minute and requests-per-day limits apply and vary by usage tier (viewable in Google AI Studio). Google AI Studio itself is free to use in all available regions.

How to claim it

  1. Sign in to Google AI Studio with a Google account
  2. Create an API key from the API keys screen
  3. Call the Gemini API on the free tier (no billing required)

Good to know

Exact per-model RPM/RPD/TPM figures are no longer published on Google's public docs (they vary by usage tier and are shown in AI Studio), so we do not list specific numbers. Free-tier usage may be used to improve Google's products; the paid tier does not.
