1. An Exceptionally Generous Free Perk Across the Web
Unlike other providers' meager few-dollar trial credits, Google offers an extremely generous permanent free tier for Gemini 1.5 Flash:
- Up to 15 independent requests per minute (15 RPM);
- Supports throughput of up to 1 million tokens per minute (1M TPM);
- Allows up to 1,500 calls per day!
2. A Gold Mine for Small, Medium, and Micro Developers
For individual indie developers, small WeChat bots, or internal tools, a quota of 1,500 calls per day can support all-day operation at nearly zero cost, letting you smoothly deploy large model workloads without spending a cent.
