Q01

How does billing work?

Your balance is in USD. When you top up $5, you get $5 of model usage at the exact same token prices as OpenRouter. Zero markup — we're open-source.

Q02

Does my balance expire?

No. Your balance never expires and there's no subscription. Top up once, use anytime.

Q03

What free models are available?

All free-tier models on OpenRouter, including Llama, Gemma, Mistral community models, and more. You can also run any model for free locally via Ollama.

Q04

Can I switch between modes?

Yes. You can use free models, pay-as-you-go balance, your own API keys from 20+ providers, your ChatGPT subscription, or local Ollama models — all interchangeably. Switch anytime in settings.

Q05

Is my data private?

Yes. OpenYak is local-first. Your conversations and files are stored only on your machine. When using cloud models, only API calls to LLM providers leave your computer. When using local models via Ollama, nothing leaves your machine at all.
