A verdict here is not a fixed property of the vendor. A one-off pricing event demotes a vendor while its recorded date falls in the last 180 days and then lapses on its own, with nothing about the vendor having changed; a standing condition — a free tier withdrawn and not restored, a product retired — does not lapse with time. This one rests on a record discovered 2026-10-07 · effective date unknown, so it lapses on 2027-04-06 unless we record something new first.
Subtypes in AI / ML: model_gateway — one endpoint that reaches models run by several independent providers; what is sold is the routing, key management and fallback, not the weights. We read that on 2026-09-01 from https://llm7.io, where it says: “Connect to leading AI models with one endpoint” How we use this.
LLM7.io's free tier offers LLM inference gateway… We rate it caution — one recorded limit reduction, discovered 2026-10-07. Best for ai / ml workloads — 26 alternatives available.
LLM inference gateway. With a free token from dash.llm7.io: 1 request a second, 60 a minute, 250 an hour and 100,000 tokens per 24 hours, counting input and output tokens; LLM7 says free quotas may be reduced without notice. Free access covers turbo-tier models not marked usage-only, such as GLM-5.3-Flash and codestral-latest. Other models, including all image and speech-to-text models, need Pro ($12/mo) or a paid balance.
We read that on 2026-10-07 from https://docs.llm7.io/limits, and our check recorded: the page names LLM7.io as "llm7 io" and states "$12". A source check reads the cited page for the service's name and a price; the limits above are from our own record.
How LLM7.io compares against every one of the 26 we list, not against a selection of them. A surface with room for every member of a tied set may rotate their order. A surface with room for only some of them names none of them, because which ones it named would be the claim, and a claim seeded on the date is not the one we serve tomorrow. How we decide this.
