FreeModel API status flipped to up

FreeModel API's live status flipped to up, with Uprouter's best-effort probes recording 146ms latency 10 hours ago and 481ms one day ago, following a down reading 12 days earlier. Uprouter rates the frontier model API router, which offers a unified endpoint for models including GPT-5 and Claude Code, as medium risk, citing a commercial aggregator routing to many upstreams with only partial transparency. FreeModel's official site advertises a free plan described as '永久免费·无需信用卡' (forever free, no credit card) with a $5 signup credit, while Uprouter values the free tier at roughly $5.00 in free credits and lists a Starter subscription at $10.00 per month.

$ Does FreeModel API have a free tier? #

Yes — FreeModel API offers a free tier that we value at roughly $5.00 in free credits. Always confirm current limits on FreeModel API's official pricing page — free tiers change without notice.

$ How much does FreeModel API cost per 1M tokens? #

FreeModel API does not publish simple per-1M-token pricing (it may bill per request, per output, or via a subscription plan). Check their official pricing page for exact figures.

$ Is FreeModel API safe to use? #

Uprouter rates FreeModel API as medium risk. Rated medium risk. a commercial aggregator routing to many upstreams with only partial transparency: some model coverage or pricing is confirmed, while other figures rest on third-party reports or a login-gated console. Risk ratings are editorial, evidence-based, and never influenced by affiliate relationships.

$ Can I use FreeModel API through Uprouter Connect? #

Yes — FreeModel API is Connect-compatible. Add your FreeModel API API key in Uprouter Connect (encrypted at rest) and route requests to it through one OpenAI- and Claude-compatible API, optionally behind failover aliases. Uprouter meters the traffic in compute at the provider's listed rate.

risk_&_confidence

Rated medium risk. a commercial aggregator routing to many upstreams with only partial transparency: some model coverage or pricing is confirmed, while other figures rest on third-party reports or a login-gated console.

Confidence reflects how much verifiable evidence (official docs, probe history, community reports) backs this entry. Risk is our editorial assessment of operator reliability and terms — not financial advice.
