Microsoft Designer (designer.microsoft.com) is Microsoft's free AI design/image-generation web app (DALL-E based) for personal Microsoft accounts. Free users get a limited number of fast generations (boosts) - historically 15/day, with later region/account-specific limits reported (~60/month). This route is an unofficial, reverse-engineered web integration that captures the short-lived Bearer access_token from the DallE.ashx GetDallEImagesCogSci request; tokens expire quickly and must be recaptured.
Free tier present — value not quantified
This provider offers a free tier, but its terms don’t convert cleanly into a USD figure (e.g. request-count limits or capacity-dependent pools). We refuse to print a misleading zero here. See the note below and the official pricing page for the exact limits.
note: Free personal-account boosts only (no credit currency documented).
