Free tier	A free daily inference allowance exists and is documented, but its size is not published. Quoted: 'Standard (default): Explore and learn with free, light daily access. Pay-as-you-go (PAYG) pricing is applied for usage beyond the daily limit.' Quoted: 'The IO Intelligence API offers different free daily limits per account, depending on the AI model.'

Identity	email account creation by Google, Apple ID, GitHub or an email one-time password, and the free daily allowance needs no payment details: a guide states 'The io.intelligence API includes free daily limits per model, so you can start without entering payment details'. Adding credit takes a card or Solana, and the 5% top-up fee applies 'only to credit top-ups made with a credit or debit card', so debit is accepted. Prepaid acceptance and any authorisation amount are not stated

Composes with	This is the only free lane io.net actually operates, and it is inference not GPU rental. It composes with a coding agent that needs a daily token allowance rather than a machine.
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	io.net needs two records, not one, and conflating them is the error a roundup makes. IO Cloud is a paid GPU marketplace with a USD 10 minimum. io.net Intelligence is a separate product with a genuinely free daily token allowance. What would settle it: an authenticated GET on the models endpoint returning the quota field per model, or the docs table itself.
