Common questions
Where can I use DeepSeek for free via API?

We only list a provider here when that name already appears in our data. Catalogues change, so confirm on the official page before you rely on an entry.
Which of these DeepSeek providers are OpenAI compatible?
14 of the 14 active entries are marked OpenAI compatible in our data: NVIDIA Build / NIM, APInex, Experiential Labs, Runcrate, River AI (River Inference), Tencent EdgeOne Makers Models, SenseNova Token Plan, JoinGonka Gateway, Mervex, Lightning AI Model APIs, OpenPaths, Mango Inference, Zro (MoonMath), GonkaRouter. The others are marked no, partial, or Not published — see the table on this page.
Do I need a credit card?
11 active entries in this list say no card is required: NVIDIA Build / NIM, APInex, Runcrate, Tencent EdgeOne Makers Models, SenseNova Token Plan, JoinGonka Gateway, Mervex, Lightning AI Model APIs, OpenPaths, Mango Inference, GonkaRouter. Others may ask for a card, a top-up, or do not publish this. Confirm on the sign-up page.
Why do some fields say Not published?
The provider has not published that figure on their public pages, or we could not find it. We never invent quotas, prices or endpoints.
Is this every site that hosts DeepSeek?
No. This page only includes providers that already name DeepSeek in our data file. A gateway may offer the model without that name appearing in our notes, allowance or limits, and we do not guess those catalogues.
