This free tier is genuinely usable for individual API work, with the core client, specs, mocks, Git, runners, and a small monthly allowance of AI and Flows credits. Compared with the cheapest paid Solo plan at $9/month, it keeps most of the day-to-day workflow but leaves out several pro collaboration and export features, so a fair value is about $3/month. A credit card is not called out as required, and the plan is capped rather than unlimited, which keeps the score well below the paid tier.
