| -------------------------------------------- | ----- | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [zukijourney](https://discord.gg/DWU2egFnHh) | 7,211 | ✅ Allowed | ✅ [Repo](https://github.com/zukijourney/api-oss/) | [ZJ Team](https://zukijourney.com/) | [Models](https://docs.zukijourney.com/models) | The undisputed leader of the AI APIs, the largest & oldest of its kind still running. Offers other popular AI-related bots too. |
| [ElectronHub](https://discord.gg/4xg2TM3mNP) | 2,422 | ✅ Use /nsfw/ | ❌ | [snowby666](https://github.com/snowby666) | [Models](https://playground.electronhub.top/model) | Developed by the maintainer of the [poe-api-wrapper](https://github.com/snowby666/poe-api-wrapper). Very RP-friendly. |
| [ZanityAI](https://discord.gg/8GgUak8KrK) | 1,315 | 💰 Paid only | ❌ | [Voidii](https://github.com/void6670) | [Models](https://api.zanity.xyz/v1/models) | A roleplay-friendly API led by a Zukijourney friend. Ran on a stolen ZJ codebase for a pretty long time. |

Tier 2 — Standard, Basic AI API Services

| ------------------------------------------ | ----- | ------------ | ----------- | --------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| [HelixMind](https://discord.gg/466vKB47JH) | 1,636 | ❌ Forbidden | ❌ | [faer1x](https://github.com/faer1x) | [Models](https://helixmind.online/model) | Subscription-based service that 'just about' fits into the g4f principles definition with its free tier. |
| [FresedGPT](https://discord.gg/AWzY3b2DJH) | 359 | ❌ Forbidden | ❌ | [Fresed](https://github.com/qazplmqaz) | [Models](https://fresedgpt.space/v1/models) | One of the best APIs out there, but struggling to recover after a server nuke. |

Tier 3 — 'Inconsistent' APIs

| ------------------------------------------ | ----- | ------------ | ---------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [WebraftAI](https://discord.gg/vbb2NQuWdR) | 1,410 | ❌ Forbidden | ❌ | [ds_gamer](https://github.com/ds-gamer) | [Models](https://api.webraft.in/freeapi/models) | Recovered from 5-month downtime due to the owner's health issues. Some instability in current service. |
