What you get

Confirmed on docs: 200M free tokens for most embedding and reranker models

Includes rerank-2.5 and rerank-2.5-lite rerankers in the free tier

Code- and domain-specialized models (voyage-code-3, finance, law)

Backed by MongoDB; strong retrieval benchmark performance

Gotchas

200M free tokens (main models)

voyage-4-large, voyage-4, voyage-4-lite, voyage-context-3, voyage-code-3, rerank-2.5, and rerank-2.5-lite each receive 200 million free tokens per account — a one-time lifetime allowance that does not reset.
50M free tokens (legacy/specialized models)

Older specialized models voyage-multilingual-2, voyage-finance-2, voyage-law-2, and voyage-code-2 receive only 50 million free tokens per account.
200M tokens + 150B pixels (multimodal)

voyage-multimodal-3.5 and voyage-multimodal-3 receive 200M free text tokens and 150B free pixels per account as a one-time allowance.
Lowest rate-limit tier on free usage

Free-tier accounts start at the lowest RPM/TPM rate-limit tier; limits scale up only as paid usage accumulates.
No free tokens on older models

Models predating the current lineup (voyage-3, voyage-3-large, voyage-3.5, rerank-1, etc.) have no free token allocation and are billed from the first token.
No fine-tuned model access

Fine-tuned dedicated instances and support channels require a sales engagement; there is no self-serve free-tier path.
