FreeLLMAPI is an open-source, self-hosted LLM gateway that aggregates free tiers from 34 providers (600+ free model endpoints) behind a single OpenAI-compatible /v1 endpoint. It provides smart routing, automatic failover on rate limits, per-key quota tracking, and encrypted key storage, with an optional paid live model-catalog feed.
Use cases
- use free LLM APIs without juggling multiple provider keys
- route coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, Aider, or Cline across free model tiers
- automatically fail over to another provider when one is rate-limited
- track usage to stay under each provider's free-tier caps
- self-host an OpenAI-compatible gateway with keys kept local
- experiment with frontier models like DeepSeek, Qwen, Gemini Flash, and Llama for free
When to choose
- you want one OpenAI-compatible endpoint over many providers' free tiers
- you need automatic failover and quota tracking across free LLM providers
- you prefer self-hosting so provider keys stay on your machine
- you want to point existing OpenAI SDK-based tools or coding agents at free models
When to avoid
- you need production-grade SLAs or paid-tier reliability and throughput
- you need the very latest model catalog without the 30-day free-tier delay and won't pay for Premium
- you require providers or models not present in the free-tier catalog
- your usage exceeds free-tier token caps and you'd be better served by a paid API directly
