Free credits and free tools for AI builders

60 tools an AI builder in Israel can use for free or on credits, checked on 2026-09-23

Every amount is quoted from the vendor's own page. Free tiers, one-off credits, trials and startup programmes — each card says which it is.

AI models and APIs

Google AI Studio

Free

Try Gemini models in a browser studio, then call them with a free API key

Free tier with free input and output tokens

Checked on 2026-09-23

The Gemini API free tier is meant for developers and small projects: free input and output tokens, limited access to certain models, and Google AI Studio access. Google writes that AI Studio usage is free of charge in all available regions. What else is free is set out per model: Gemini 2.5 Flash and Flash-Lite get grounding with Google Search free of charge, up to 500 RPD shared between them.

  • Free tier content is used to improve Google's products
  • Limited access to certain models
  • What is free is listed per model on the pricing page and differs between models
  • Grounding with Google Search is free on Gemini 2.5 Flash and Flash-Lite up to 500 RPD shared between them, and marked Not available on the Gemini 3.x models

From Israel: Israel is on Google's list of countries where the Gemini API and Google AI Studio are available, and the service asks you to be 18 or older.

What you can do with it

Google AI Studio is a browser workbench for the Gemini models. Paste a prompt, attach a PDF or a screenshot, compare two models side by side, then take the same model into your own code with an API key. The free tier is enough to prototype a classifier or an assistant before you wire it into an automation tool.

How to claim it

  1. Open aistudio.google.com and sign in with a Google account.
  2. Run a prompt in the studio until the answer looks right.
  3. Press Get API key and create the key inside a new or existing Google Cloud project.
  4. Copy the key into your code or into the AI step of your automation tool.

Watch out

On the free tier Google lists content as "used to improve our products". What else is free changes model by model, so read the row for the model you picked before you count on it.

OpenRouter

Free

One API key for hundreds of models, including free variants to test on

Free model variants, 50 requests a day

Checked on 2026-09-23

Model IDs ending in :free run at no cost, under platform limits set by the credits you have purchased all time. Under 10 credits you get 20 requests per minute and 50 requests per day; at least 10 credits keeps the 20 per minute and raises the daily ceiling to 1000. A negative credit balance returns 402 errors, including for free models.

  • Free variants are the model IDs ending in :free
  • 20 requests per minute, 50 requests per day under 10 credits purchased
  • 1000 requests per day once you have purchased at least 10 credits
  • A negative credit balance blocks free models as well

What you can do with it

OpenRouter puts one OpenAI-shaped API in front of hundreds of models from different vendors, so you can swap the model name in a workflow and compare answers without opening a second account. The free variants are the cheapest way to sanity-check a prompt before you decide which paid model the build deserves.

How to claim it

  1. Open openrouter.ai and press Sign Up to create an account.
  2. Go to Keys and press Create Key.
  3. Browse Models and filter for the variants whose ID ends in :free.
  4. Call the API with that model ID, or paste the key into your automation tool's HTTP step.

Watch out

The daily ceiling is tied to credits you have bought over the lifetime of the account, and a balance below zero returns 402 errors on free models too, so keep the balance at zero or above.

Lovable

Free

Web apps from a chat description, with hosting and a database behind them

Free plan with 5 build credits a day

Checked on 2026-09-23

The free plan gives a daily grant of 5 build credits, up to 30 a month, plus monthly grants of 20 Cloud credits and 4 credits for AI features inside the apps you build. Credits do not roll over, and once you have spent 30 build credits in a calendar month the daily grant stops until the 1st.

  • Credits do not roll over between days or months
  • The daily grant stops after 30 build credits in a calendar month

What you can do with it

Describe the app you want in chat and Lovable builds the screens, wires up a database and publishes it on a public URL. It is the builder behind three guided builds here: the website lead assistant, the lead scoring app and the client results dashboard.

How to claim it

  1. Open lovable.dev and press Sign up.
  2. Open the workspace dashboard.
  3. Type what you want to build in the prompt box. Building spends build credits from the daily grant.
  4. Press Publish to put the app on a public URL you can send to a client.

Watch out

The five daily build credits stop once you have spent 30 in a calendar month, and the grant resumes on the 1st. Credits you do not spend are not carried over to the next day or month.

Automation

Make

Free

Visual automation scenarios across thousands of apps, with no code

Free plan with 1,000 credits a month

Checked on 2026-09-23

Make's Free plan is $0 a month with up to 1,000 credits a month, where each module action in a scenario counts as one credit. It includes the no-code visual workflow builder, 3000+ apps, routers and filters and customer support. Make states there is no time limit on the Free plan, and scenarios run at a 15-minute minimum interval between runs.

  • Up to 1,000 credits a month; each module action counts as one credit
  • 15-minute minimum interval between runs
  • Scheduling down to the minute and the Make API start on the Core plan

What you can do with it

Make is the automation tool behind the first guided builds here: the lead qualification assistant, the weekly ops report and the appointment reminders all run as Make scenarios. You drag modules onto a canvas, connect them, and watch the data move between a form, a model and a spreadsheet.

How to claim it

  1. Open make.com and press Get started free.
  2. Create a scenario and add your first module, for example Webhooks > Custom webhook.
  3. Connect the apps the build needs; each connection is authorised once.
  4. Turn the scenario ON and watch the operations counter on the dashboard.

Watch out

A thousand credits go quickly when a scenario has several modules, and on the free plan a scenario cannot run more often than every 15 minutes.

Supabase

Free

Postgres, auth, storage and edge functions in one project

Free plan with a 500 MB database and 50,000 monthly active users

Checked on 2026-09-23

Supabase's Free plan is $0 a month and includes 500 MB database size on shared CPU with 500 MB RAM, 50,000 monthly active users, 5 GB egress, 5 GB cached egress, 1 GB file storage and community support. The plan card also lists "Unlimited API requests". Free projects are paused after 1 week of inactivity, with a limit of 2 active projects.

  • 500 MB database size per project, on shared CPU with 500 MB RAM
  • 50,000 monthly active users
  • 5 GB egress, 5 GB cached egress and 1 GB file storage
  • Free projects are paused after 1 week of inactivity
  • Limit of 2 active projects; community support

What you can do with it

Supabase is the database behind most of the guided builds here: the lead scoring app, the client results dashboard, the approval inbox and the RAG assistant all keep their rows in a Supabase project. One dashboard gives you Postgres, authentication, file storage and edge functions, and the access rules live next to the data.

How to claim it

  1. Open supabase.com and press Start your project.
  2. Sign in with GitHub or an email address, then create an organization on the Free plan.
  3. Press New project, choose a region and save the database password somewhere safe.
  4. Open Project Settings and copy the project URL and API key into your app.

Watch out

A free project is paused after a week without traffic, and one account can keep two active projects at a time.

Hobby plan at $0 with 1M edge requests a month

Checked on 2026-09-23

Vercel's Hobby plan is $0 a month and includes 1M edge requests, 100 GB of fast data transfer, 1M function invocations, 4 hours of Fluid Active CPU, 360 GB-hrs of provisioned memory, 1 GB of Blob storage and 5K image optimization transformations a month, plus one developer seat and build minutes on basic machines. The pricing FAQ says: "Our Hobby plan is for personal, non-commercial use."

  • The pricing FAQ states: "Our Hobby plan is for personal, non-commercial use."
  • 1M edge requests and 100 GB of fast data transfer a month
  • 1M function invocations and 4 hours of Fluid Active CPU a month
  • 1 developer seat, up to 3 custom firewall rules
  • 1 GB of Blob storage and 5K image optimizations a month

What you can do with it

Vercel is where the approval inbox and the RAG assistant builds go live. Connect the GitHub repository once and every push gets a URL, so a client can look at the change before it reaches the main address. Serverless functions in the same project handle the API routes, so there is no second server to keep alive.

How to claim it

  1. Open vercel.com and press Start deploying.
  2. Sign in with GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket and stay on the Hobby plan.
  3. Press Add New... > Project, import the repository and press Deploy.
  4. Add your environment variables under Settings > Environment Variables and redeploy.

Watch out

The pricing FAQ says the Hobby plan is for personal, non-commercial use, so a site you deliver to a paying client belongs on a paid plan.

Netlify

Free

Git-based hosting with functions, a database and a global CDN

Free plan with a 300-credit monthly limit

Checked on 2026-09-23

Cloudflare

Free

Run code, store data and serve a site from Cloudflare's edge network

Workers Free plan with 100,000 requests a day

Checked on 2026-09-23

The Workers Free plan gives 100,000 requests a day, no charge for duration, and 10 milliseconds of CPU time per invocation. Workers KV allows 100,000 key reads, 1,000 writes, 1,000 deletes and 1,000 list requests a day with 1 GB stored. D1 allows 5 million rows read and 100,000 rows written a day with 5 GB of storage. Hyperdrive allows 100,000 queries a day.

  • 100,000 Worker requests a day, 10 ms of CPU time per invocation
  • Workers KV: 100,000 reads, 1,000 writes, 1,000 deletes a day, 1 GB stored
  • D1: 5 million rows read and 100,000 rows written a day, 5 GB storage
  • All limits reset daily at 00:00 UTC; past a limit, that operation fails with an error
  • Pages Functions are billed as Workers

What you can do with it

Workers run your code in Cloudflare's network instead of on a server you rent, which is a good fit for a webhook receiver, a small API in front of a model, or the static site a guided build produces. KV and D1 give that Worker somewhere to keep state, so a whole small tool can sit in one account without a bill.

How to claim it

  1. Open dash.cloudflare.com and press Sign up.
  2. In the sidebar choose Compute (Workers) and press Create.
  3. Deploy the starter Worker, or run npm create cloudflare@latest from your terminal.
  4. Add a KV namespace or a D1 database from Storage & Databases and bind it to the Worker.

Watch out

The free limits are daily, not monthly, and they reset at 00:00 UTC. Once a limit is reached, further operations of that type return an error rather than a bill.

Messaging and email

Twilio

Trial

SMS, WhatsApp, voice and email from one API

Free trial with 100 SMS, 100 WhatsApp and 75 voice minutes

Checked on 2026-09-23

Twilio writes: "You can sign up for a Twilio free trial account without a credit card." It adds: "Your trial includes product-specific free units — such as 100 SMS messages, 100 WhatsApp messages, 3,000 emails, and 75 voice minutes — instead of a shared dollar balance. Trial accounts expire after 30 days." A Free units tracker in the Console shows how much is left.

  • No credit card needed to sign up for the trial
  • 100 SMS messages, 100 WhatsApp messages, 3,000 emails, 75 voice minutes
  • Trial accounts expire after 30 days
  • Free units are product-specific, not a shared dollar balance
  • On a verified toll-free trial number you can message up to five pre-designated numbers

From Israel: Twilio's Israel SMS guidelines list two-way SMS as supported and short codes as not supported. An alphanumeric sender ID needs domestic pre-registration through the Console, with about a week of provisioning time.

What you can do with it

Twilio is the messaging layer in the appointment reminders build: the scenario reads tomorrow's calendar and Twilio sends the SMS. The same account also sends WhatsApp messages and places calls, so one set of credentials covers most of what a small business asks for when it says "just text them".

How to claim it

  1. Open twilio.com and press Start for free.
  2. Verify your email address and your own phone number.
  3. In the Console open a product trial, for example Try out SMS Messaging, and follow it.
  4. Copy the Account SID and Auth Token from the Console home page into your automation.

Watch out

Trial accounts expire after 30 days and the free units are counted per product, so 100 SMS does not buy more WhatsApp messages.

HubSpot

Free

Free CRM with contacts, deals, forms, live chat and email marketing

Free Tools plan at $0/mo for up to 2 users, no credit card

Checked on 2026-09-23

HubSpot's pricing page puts the Free Tools plan at "$0/mo", calls it "Free for up to 2 users" and says no credit card is needed. It lists free Marketing, Sales, Service, Content, Data and Revenue tools. In the per-plan table the free column gives 2,000 email sends per calendar month with HubSpot branding, 1 automated email action, 1 personal meetings link and 10 dashboards.

  • Email marketing: 2,000 email sends per calendar month, with HubSpot branding
  • Email automation: 1 automated action
  • Meeting scheduling: maximum of 1 personal meetings link, includes HubSpot branding
  • Reporting dashboard: 10 dashboards, 50 reports per dashboard

What you can do with it

HubSpot is the CRM behind three guided builds here: the website lead assistant, the meeting-to-CRM agent and the ops agent with tools. Leads arrive as contacts, the deal pipeline shows where each one stands, and the free forms and live chat feed it without a line of code.

How to claim it

  1. Open hubspot.com and press Get started free.
  2. Sign up with a work email address and name your account.
  3. In the CRM open Contacts and import a spreadsheet or add a contact by hand.
  4. Open Marketing > Forms, build a form and embed it on your site.
  5. Copy the tracking code from Settings > Tracking Code into your pages.

Watch out

The free tier is capped at two users, and the emails and meetings links you send carry HubSpot branding until you move to a paid plan.

Tally

Free

Forms that are built like a document, with RTL support out of the box

Free plan with "unlimited forms and submissions"

Checked on 2026-09-23

Tally's pricing page says: "Tally gives you unlimited forms and submissions, completely free, as long as you stay within our fair usage guidelines." The free list includes conditional logic and calculations, payments, signatures, file uploads, webhooks, 45+ languages with RTL support and the Google Sheets, Notion, Airtable, Zapier and Make integrations.

  • Free within Tally's fair usage guidelines
  • Payments, signatures, file uploads, conditional logic and calculations are on the free plan
  • Pro removes the 10 MB per file size limit on the File Upload block
  • Removing Tally branding, custom domains and respondent emails start on Pro at $24 a month
  • 45+ languages and RTL support

What you can do with it

Tally is the intake form in the AI lead qualification assistant: a prospect fills it in, Make picks up the submission and a model scores the lead. You build a form the way you write a document — type a question, insert a block — and the RTL support means a Hebrew form looks right without touching CSS.

How to claim it

  1. Open tally.so and press Create form.
  2. Type your questions and press / to insert blocks such as Multiple choice or File upload.
  3. Open Integrations and connect Make, Google Sheets or Webhooks.
  4. Press Publish and copy the share link or the embed code.

Questions people ask

What counts as free on this page?

Three different things, and every card says which one it is: a free tier you can keep using without paying, a one-off grant of credits, and a trial that ends on a date. Startup programmes are a fourth kind: you apply and someone decides.

Do I need a credit card?

It depends on the tool, so the card lists the conditions the vendor publishes. Most free tiers here open with an email address; cloud accounts and trials usually want a card for verification even when they do not charge you.

How often do you check these offers?

Every entry carries the date we last read the vendor's own page, and the top of this page shows the newest one. Our tests fail when an entry passes 120 days without a re-check, so stale entries get re-read or removed.

Are these referral links?

Some of them may be. The price never changes because you came through us, we only link to offers we verified on the vendor's page, and a disclosure line appears on this page whenever a referral link is live.

How we check this

Every entry is read off the vendor's own page and carries the date we read it. Nothing here is a roundup, an estimate or a guess. Tell us if an offer changed
