# Show HN: Community curated list of 310 AI providers offering $4.3k free credits > Source: > Published: 2026-09-10 10:00:54+00:00 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. The 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. I have not found another project that offers an organized, community-curated system for AI API providers on the same scale as this one. There is a submission feature so you can submit your favorite AI API providers for free.
