> Jina AI (Foundation API)

Free tier present — value not quantified
This provider offers a free tier, but its terms don’t convert cleanly into a USD figure (e.g. request-count limits or capacity-dependent pools). We refuse to print a misleading zero here. See the note below and the official pricing page for the exact limits.
note: No public free-tier information found in the source reference; treat free-tier availability as unverified rather than confirmed absent.
