> Nebius
Nebius AI Studio is a European AI cloud offering an OpenAI-compatible API to 60+ open-source LLMs; it provides high-performance inference-as-a-service with European data residency and transparent pay-as-you-go pricing.
// pros
- OpenAI-compatible API with credit available without a credit card, plus a full console/docs
- Ongoing free tier for some strong open models (Llama 3.3 70B, Qwen3-235B) with usage-tiered rate limits
- European data centers with good compliance and a rich model catalog (60+)
// cons
- Free-tier rate limits depend on account tier; new accounts get conservative limits
- The core product is still a paid cloud; usage beyond the credit/free tier is billed per use
- Reviews disagree on the exact credit amount; rely on the official site
Fairly friendly for developers who want ongoing free access to large models like Llama 3.3 70B and Qwen3-235B, and one of the better first-party free tiers; still mind rate limits and overage billing.
community_reputation
Nebius is listed in directories like 12britz/awesome-free-models and freellm.net as a legitimate European AI cloud offering an ongoing free LLM API; reputation is positive, with the free Qwen3-235B allowance standing out.
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: AI Studio: ~$1 trial credit for new accounts (early $100-era promos ended; startup program can grant far more); plus ongoing free API for select open models (Llama 3.3 70B, Qwen3-235B) with tier-based rate limits.

$ Does Nebius have a free tier?
Yes — Nebius offers a free tier that we value at roughly $1.00 in free credits (estimate — derived from rate-limited usage at pay-as-you-go prices). Always confirm current limits on Nebius's official pricing page — free tiers change without notice.
$ How much does Nebius cost per 1M tokens?
Nebius 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 Nebius safe to use?
Uprouter rates Nebius 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 Nebius through Uprouter Connect?
Yes — Nebius is Connect-compatible. Add your Nebius 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.
