FreeLLM

FreeLLM is a free LLM resource directory that organizes each upstream provider's free allowances and trial quotas into a filterable comparison table, and generates integration configs per client. It does not host models itself, does not resell API keys, and does not hand out quotas — it only answers “who is still free, what the limits are, and how do I write the config”.

Core capabilities

• Model comparison table: 302 free or trial model entries, each row labeled with context, rate limits, and whether a credit card or phone number is required
• Provider directory: 31 provider cards summarizing the free tier, base URL, and OpenAI compatibility
• Verification badges: daily liveness checks with real keys; only models that pass live testing get the verified mark
• Config generation: generates upstream endpoint config snippets for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI and other clients — copy and use
• Comparison and status pages: cross-provider side-by-side comparison, plus a health dashboard aggregated from real community requests and a daily changelog
• Optional proxy channel: the Playground's server-side proxy requires sign-in and your own API key, and only serves to work around browser cross-origin limits

Who it is for Independent developers, students, and side projects who want an AI coding client running at zero cost can first pick a provider that is still free, then copy the config to connect. It also suits people who need to compare context and limits side by side when choosing. Those who want one key for every model with automatic failover should look at gateway products.

Unique advantages Compared with README lists on GitHub, it combines structured filtering, daily updates, and verification badges, and stitches “free quota” and “integration config” onto the same page; for a directory site, that density of data maintenance and the config generation aimed at Claude Code are the main points of difference.

Editorial take The core directory is free forever; Plus is a one-time pass rather than a subscription, so buying 30 days as needed is enough. It suits individual developers who use free quota as a cost optimization, and does not suit teams that need SLAs and enterprise compliance purchasing. Start by validating availability on the free tier, then decide whether to upgrade.
