Polydev is free.
No plans, no tiers, no credits to buy. The models still cost tokens, and those are paid by access you already have. Your app's own model and subscription are not affected.

Questions
- Can I use my Claude or Gemini plan?
- Claude: yes, through your own Claude Code in the local client. Anthropic does not let other apps sign in with Claude, so the hosted link never uses a Claude plan. Gemini: no. Google keeps its plans to Google’s apps, so use a Gemini API key.
- What happens when the free requests run out?
- Add an API key or OpenRouter key in the dashboard, or connect your ChatGPT plan in the local client. There is nothing to buy from Polydev.
- Does X search count?
- search_x always runs on your own xAI key; it is not part of the free requests.
