What $2/mo gets you
Go is AnyRouter's lightweight paid plan and the cheapest way to get included credit for paid models. For $2/mo you get a $4 credit added to your balance every month (~16M tokens on fast models), issued automatically, plus shared-pool access. Free models through anyrouter/free work on every plan, Free included, with no daily cap and no spend.
No expiring trial, no feature to unlock later — the $2 buys the monthly credit and shared-pool access, and both renew each month. Usage on Go is capped per rolling 5-hour window; Pro ($10/mo), Pro+ ($45/mo), and Max ($100/mo) lift that.
Free, three ways
You don't have to pay the $2 to get real free inference. There are three routes, each honest about its limits:
- Donate a provider key → Go free. Donate one working key to the shared pool and your Go plan is free for as long as it stays active — you skip the $2 and earn 5% back (8% if you're on Pro/Max) on every token the pool routes through your key, claimable anytime.
- The anyrouter/free tier. A rotating router over healthy free capacity, on every plan, no daily limit, no credit spent.
- Self-hosted on-device models. A first-party local relay serves models running on your own paired hardware — including Apple's on-device Foundation Model — at no provider cost.
Which should I pick?
| You want | Do this |
|---|---|
| Included credit for paid models, minimal effort | Subscribe to Go for $2/mo |
| Go without paying, and credits back | Donate an idle key at /donate |
| Just to try free models now | Sign in and call anyrouter/free (any plan, no daily cap) |
| Zero provider cost on your own hardware | Use the on-device local relay |
Whichever you pick, BYOK and the shared pool are always free to use — requests on your own keys never deduct credits, on any plan.
