Reason free tier: The Free plan has no included agent quota and no cloud computer (tools fail with 'Credits exhausted: cloud machine not started').

In our 2026-10-18 test: About 84-126K input and 2-4K output tokens per bugfix run, $0 on a free OpenRouter model (12 OpenRouter free requests for 3 runs).
