In the provider's words

Free: 2 concurrent real-time sessions; Batch API: 10 new jobs/s and 50 job-status requests/s (bounded by the $100 credit)

The catch

One-time $100 credit grant, no card required; to go beyond it, add a card and move to Pro (pay-as-you-go). Accounts created before 1 August 2026 received a one-time $25 transition credit. No data logging for model training by default. Commercial-use permission not explicitly stated.
