Google

Has a free plan

Development purposes are almost free with rate limits, and the exact RPM/TPM/RPD depends on the account level as stated on aistudio.google.com/rate-limit. For the Gemini 2.5 series, Search grounding is free for 1,500 times/day, and then US$35/1,000 times, while Maps grounding is also free for 1,500 times/day, but then US$25/1,000 times (confirmed on the official website on 2026-07-27 that the excess fee rates for the two are different). Other Search/Maps models are free for 500 times/day. For the Gemini 3 series models, the first 5,000 prompts per month are free (both Search and Maps), and then US$14/1,000 times for queries.

Vercel

Has a free plan

The free plan is US$0/month, with a quota that is a dual limit of "points + daily messages", and stops when either limit is reached: ① it includes a US$5 point balance per month (the official documentation also states Monthly Credits = US$5); ② a daily limit of 7 messages (the official website states 7 message/day limit). The points are consumed as follows: v0 is billed based on tokens, and the official website lists the prices for each model - v0 Mini input costs US$1/1 million tokens, output costs US$5; v0 Pro costs US$3/US$15; v0 Max costs US$5/US$25; v0 Max Fast costs US$10/US$50. This means the US$5 quota on v0 Max can only generate about 200,000 output tokens. The behavior when points are used up is clearly stated in the official documentation: generation will be paused, and points cannot be purchased for the free version (purchasing is only available for Premium/Plus/Business). Points will be rolled over to the next billing cycle, but will expire after 65 days. The free version can still be used for: deployment to Vercel, Design Mode visual editing, GitHub synchronization, and basic usage analysis.
