Free routes for Google models — third-party hosting
Google is the model vendor here, not the seller: each route below is $0 on its host's terms and links the host's own official page — worth re-checking there before relying on it. These rows come from the same tracked data as the table above (model→route mapping); each route stays counted on its host's provider page.

Google AI Pro subscription
$19.99/mo (annual billing is offered but the annual price is not published on official pages fetched)
The $19.99 fee bundles a lot (5 TB storage, 4x Gemini usage, apps) but the AI limits are window-shaped — a 5-hour refresh that stops at a weekly ceiling — and the annual price is never shown on official pages.
