The directory lets users review, upvote and edit providers, and links all 310 into a single OpenAI- and Claude-compatible gateway that routes any model through any vendor via one URL with failover aliases, daily spend caps and per-request compute metering. The submission also includes a feature for users to submit additional AI API providers for free.", "body_md": "Hey people! I have been compiling a directory of AI API providers which provide a combined total of $4.3k in free API credits and I'm super proud of it so far. It serves as a community-curated directory. Everyone can review, upvote and edit API providers to keep the directory honest and accurate. After tons of hours I've managed to compile a database of 310 API providers.\n\nThe directory also allows you to link all 310 API providers, to create one OpenAI- and Claude-compatible gateway then route any model, through any vendor - via a single URL with failover aliases, daily spend caps and per-request compute metering you can audit line by line.\n\nI have not found another project that offers an organized, community-curated system for AI API providers on the same scale as this one.\n\nThere is a submission feature so you can submit your favorite AI API providers for free.\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49641128](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49641128)\n\nPoints: 3\n\n# Comments: 0", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-community-curated-list-of-310-ai-providers-offering-4-3k-free-credits", "canonical_source": "https://www.uprouter.online/", "published_at": "2026-09-10 10:00:54+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-10 10:30:07.155469+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-products", "ai-tools", "ai-infrastructure", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["Hacker News", "OpenAI", "Claude"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-community-curated-list-of-310-ai-providers-offering-4-3k-free-credits", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-community-curated-list-of-310-ai-providers-offering-4-3k-free-credits.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-community-curated-list-of-310-ai-providers-offering-4-3k-free-credits.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-community-curated-list-of-310-ai-providers-offering-4-3k-free-credits.jsonld"}}
