> Scaleway
Scaleway Generative APIs offer a serverless, OpenAI-compatible endpoint for deploying open LLMs. Hosted in Europe, it emphasizes data sovereignty and grants 1,000,000 free tokens to all customers to jumpstart development.
// pros
- First-party from a major European cloud vendor, OpenAI-compatible, compliant (GDPR-friendly)
- Explicit pledge not to collect/read/reuse input or output content; privacy-friendly
- Model coverage across chat/multimodal/speech, including Llama 3.3 70B, Gemma 3 27B
// cons
- Free is a one-time 1M tokens; converts to pay-as-you-go once spent, not a sustained free quota
- Base rate limits require a payment method; raising limits needs identity verification
- Enterprise/developer oriented; individual free-riding is more short-term trial
First-party, privacy-friendly, and compliant; suited to privacy-conscious developers for trial and small-scale use; not a sustained free API, with pay-as-you-go at scale.
community_reputation
Scaleway is a well-known European cloud vendor; its product page and docs clearly state 1M free tokens and a no-data-reuse privacy pledge, compliant and transparent. It is a big-vendor paid-cloud free trial tier, with its privacy policy a relative highlight.
imported analysis — independent third party, not Uprouter editorial · verify before relying on it
How we estimated this: the free allowance is converted to a dollar value using the provider’s own pay-as-you-go rates for the models a typical developer would reach for. When the allowance is metered in requests, tokens or minutes rather than dollars, we assume median usage of the cheapest capable model. Because assumptions are involved, the figure carries the est. flag — treat it as an order of magnitude, not a quote.
note: Value based on 1M input tokens at standard rate (approx €0.2).

$ Does Scaleway have a free tier?
Yes — Scaleway offers a free tier that we value at roughly $0.22 in free credits (estimate — derived from rate-limited usage at pay-as-you-go prices). Always confirm current limits on Scaleway's official pricing page — free tiers change without notice.
$ How much does Scaleway cost per 1M tokens?
Scaleway does not publish simple per-1M-token pricing (it may bill per request, per output, or via a subscription plan). Check their official pricing page for exact figures.
$ Is Scaleway safe to use?
Uprouter rates Scaleway as low risk. Rated low risk. an official provider with a free tier with pricing, authentication and terms documented on its own site. The model coverage is consistent with a real upstream, so data and reliability risk are modest. Risk ratings are editorial, evidence-based, and never influenced by affiliate relationships.
$ Can I use Scaleway through Uprouter Connect?
Yes — Scaleway is Connect-compatible. Add your Scaleway API key in Uprouter Connect (encrypted at rest) and route requests to it through one OpenAI- and Claude-compatible API, optionally behind failover aliases. Uprouter meters the traffic in compute at the provider's listed rate.
Raw community sentiment, shown unblended. Votes never feed into objective data fields like price, risk, or status — and never into sort order.

Uprouter runs its own probes; best-effort, not a guarantee. Probe results depend on our network location and cadence — for production, always use the provider’s own status page.
risk_&_confidence
Rated low risk. an official provider with a free tier with pricing, authentication and terms documented on its own site. The model coverage is consistent with a real upstream, so data and reliability risk are modest.
Confidence reflects how much verifiable evidence (official docs, probe history, community reports) backs this entry. Risk is our editorial assessment of operator reliability and terms — not financial advice.
