Free tier is $0.10/month of credits — functionally symbolic. PRO ($9/mo) is the real entry point.

Our take
HuggingFace's free Inference tier is ten cents a month. Yes, ten cents. It's a tasting flight across DeepSeek V3, Llama, Qwen routed through HF's Inference Providers — you get a handful of calls, then you either upgrade to PRO at $9/mo or bounce. At least it's honest about what it is.
