AI without limits
Most AI apps limit you twice: a content policy decides what you may ask, and a plan decides how often. OpenGradient drops the content wrapper on its open models and replaces the subscription with a meter - no daily caps, no tier gates, no renewal, and no lectures.

Where the limits actually bite
Free tiers meter you by the message, paid tiers meter you by the month, and the content policy meters you by the topic. Each one shows up precisely when you are mid-flow, and none of them is about what your work needs.
Message quotas, cooldowns, and model gates that push you to a higher tier at the exact moment momentum matters most.
A flat monthly plan charges your heaviest week every week. Stack two or three assistants and you are paying several ceilings to do one job.
The questions people actually bring here
Here's how OpenGradient is different
Hermes 4 and DeepSeek answer on the merits, and the open image and video models run without provider-side prompt moderation.
1,000 credits = $1, spent only on what you actually run. Packs from $10, every model's rate visible before you send, and idle months cost nothing.
Chat, image generation and the video studio all draw from the same credits, so nothing is locked behind a separate subscription.

The anonymity layer
Not a policy promise - a protocol. No single party, including us, ever holds both your identity and your question.
Read the full security architectureMessages are encrypted locally before they leave your browser.
Network relays split who you are from what you're asking. No one sees both.
The model reads your prompt inside attested hardware that never learns who sent it.
When the task calls for a frontier model, switch mid-conversation. Same anonymity layer, same chat, no extra subscription.
Questions, answered
Free messages to start, no card. Buy credits only when you want more, and never a subscription.
Unrestricted means no provider-side prompt moderation on the open models - not no rules. Illegal content is banned, explicit capabilities are gated 18+, and sexual content depicting real people without their consent is prohibited.
