Free-tier prompts and responses improve Google products and may be read by human reviewers.\n\n**GroqCloud.** Free plan with no card, at 30 requests a minute and 1,000 a day on gpt-oss. Four model shutdown dates between 2026-07-17 and 2026-09-21, with no stated minimum notice.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Gemini Developer API\n\n1. Never send customer data through a free-tier key. Link billing first\n2. Budget 3.8 Flash at $1.50/$7.50 from 2027-01-01, not the introductory price\n3. Back off exponentially on 429 RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED and 503, and don't retry 400, 402 or 403\n4. Stop sending temperature, top_p and top_k. They've been deprecated since 2026-07-21\n5. Validate structured output yourself. The docs don't promise schema-constrained decoding\n\n### GroqCloud\n\n1. Call `/models` at start-up. Four model ids stopped working this quarter\n2. Read `retry-after` on a 429 and the `x-ratelimit-remaining-tokens` header before the next call\n3. Free plan allows 8,000 tokens a minute on gpt-oss, so keep prompts small or batch them\n4. Don't build on Qwen 3.8 27B. It's a preview and previews can go at short notice\n5. Treat a 498 as Flex capacity and retry later; 5xx responses aren't billed\n\n## Other comparisons with Gemini Developer API or GroqCloud\n\n- [Claude API vs Gemini Developer API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/anthropic-api-vs-gemini-api.md)\n- [Claude API vs GroqCloud](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/anthropic-api-vs-groq.md)\n- [BlockRun.AI vs Gemini Developer API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/blockrun-ai-vs-gemini-api.md)\n- [BlockRun.AI vs GroqCloud](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/blockrun-ai-vs-groq.md)\n- [DeepSeek API vs Gemini Developer API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepseek-api-vs-gemini-api.md)\n- [DeepSeek API vs GroqCloud](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepseek-api-vs-groq.md)\n- [Gemini Developer API vs Mistral AI API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gemini-api-vs-mistral-api.md)\n- [Gemini Developer API vs OpenAI API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gemini-api-vs-openai-api.md)\n- [Gemini Developer API vs OpenRouter](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gemini-api-vs-openrouter.md)\n- [GroqCloud vs Mistral AI API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/groq-vs-mistral-api.md)\n- [GroqCloud vs OpenAI API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/groq-vs-openai-api.md)\n- [GroqCloud vs OpenRouter](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/groq-vs-openrouter.md)\n",
