| Free tier | 100 million free tokens assigned to each new account, no payment details required; free-tier limits are 1,000 API requests, 1,000,000 input tokens and 100,000 output tokens per minute unit tokens; metered on request-count; the quick-start page words the grant as 'initially assigned' to each new user and points to the billing page when the tokens run low; no monthly renewal is stated |

| Price | none stated |

| Limits | - volume-quota (binding) 100 million free tokens per new account; billing information is requested when they run low source
- request-rate Free Tier per minute: 1,000 API requests, 1,000,000 input tokens, 100,000 output tokens (Pay As You Go: 3,000 requests, 3,000,000 input, 300,000 output) source

|---|
| Binding | volume-quota the 100 million token grant runs out before the per-minute ceiling is a constraint |
|---|
| Identity | email no payment details required, quoted from the quick-start page; the sign-up form itself was not captured, so any further check on it is not established |
|---|
| Egress | not published |
|---|
| Interface | rest |
|---|
| Tooling | any OpenAI-compatible client against https://api.inceptionlabs.ai/v1, or the vendor SDKs (pip install inceptionai, npm install inceptionai) |
|---|
| Composes with | a large one-off token grant with a high per-minute ceiling, suited to a burst of batch calls before any paid plan; the grant, not the rate, is the scarce link |
|---|
| Reliability | a one-off grant rather than a renewing allowance: once the 100 million tokens are spent the account needs billing information |
|---|
| Notes | the model on the quick-start page is mercury-3; the grant is worded as an initial assignment, so the verdict is trial-only until a renewal is shown. |
|---|
| Evidence note | documented the grant and the per-minute limits are quoted from the vendor's quick-start and rate-limit pages; no call was made. Renewal behaviour and the sign-up form are not established. |
