| Caveats | PER-MINUTE LIMIT: ROUTEWAY'S OWN DOCS DISAGREE. The rate-limits page (docs.routeway.ai/getting-started/rate-limits.md) says "5 Requests Per Minute (RPM)". The FAQ (docs.routeway.ai/faq.md) says "20 requests/minute" and "200 requests/day". Sign up for a key at routeway.ai/dashboard. Whether a card is needed is not stated publicly. Free models "are intended for development, testing, and experimentation only" and "can be removed at any time". |
No measured example — this row is evidence: documented: it states what the provider's own page advertised on the date shown, and this worker holds no credential to call it. The provider's documentation is the source: https://routeway.ai/pricing
