Free usage is available for more than 25 products. Notable free limits include 1 e2-micro virtual machine (cloud computer), 5GB of Cloud Storage, 1TB of BigQuery queries, and 2M Cloud Run requests. Depending on the model, Gemini API can be used 100~1,000 times per day.
A credit card must be registered to create a Google Cloud billing account. Gemini API is available for free in Google AI Studio, and this option does not require a credit card.
The free quota applies per billing account, not per individual project, and resets with each billing cycle. Free usage has no expiration date and continues even after upgrading to a paid account. The $300 trial is a separate benefit that expires after 91 days, distinct from permanent free usage.
