OpenRouter Free Models Tracker
OpenRouter hosts a broad model ecosystem with many options, but the key issue is not just "there are free models", it's which free models fit this use case today.
This page is a practical tracker focused on:
- Coding and engineering-related use
- Roleplay / chat scenario prompts
- JSON and structured output use cases
- Long-context use cases
The list is generated from OpenRouter model metadata and filtered by free pricing (input and output). Data refresh can be scheduled by the project scheduler for automatic updates.
