Launches in the week of 16 November 2026. Voting opens when it goes live.
Field notes
UnoRouter is a free to start AI API for tinkerers and indie developers who want to try lots of models without handing over a card at every provider.
The hidden gem part is the free tier: a set of models marked free can be called at no cost with an UnoRouter key, enough to build a side project, test prompts or wire up a hobby bot. When you need bigger models such as Claude, GPT or Gemini, the same key and endpoint work after a small top up.
Because the API speaks the OpenAI format, it plugs into most libraries, chat clients and coding agents with only a base URL change. Requests that hit a struggling provider are moved to another one automatically.
It is open source, it keeps chat history in your browser, and there is no subscription to remember to cancel.
Notable finds

Questions from the trail
Is UnoRouter free?
Models ending in :free cost nothing, with a limit of about one request per minute per model. Paid models are pay as you go from a $1 top up.
Can I really use UnoRouter without paying?
Yes. Models marked free cost nothing and need no payment details. You only add a balance if you want paid models.
Is UnoRouter safe to use?
Chats in the UnoRouter chat app are stored in your browser, not on our servers. Some providers keep or train on inputs; for those you see a notice or give consent once per provider before any request reaches them. All of the code is open source.
Is UnoRouter down?
Usually not: when a free model stops answering, every provider for that model is busy for a few minutes. Switch to another free model, or check the status page, which shows each model live.
