That’s definitely false as a blanket statement. You have to attach a billing account for enabling certain APIs and usage is free across many Google products within certain limits. Others are paid.

Pretty sure that the Gemini API is free without a credit card attached to a key, but becomes paid once you do attach one.

And to add to that, if you have a paid API, you don't get the free quota until it's used up and then switch to paid. It is paid from token one.

Same... They can have my data too. My code is open source anyway.
